Visual Poetry Diary: tell stories with photos and verses

“Thanks for getting here! I hope you enjoyed the adventure. Now it's your turn to work on your project (or finish it, if you had already started it throughout the course). To guide you, I am going to summarize the main steps to follow to carry it out. The theme Choose a theme that involves the autobiographical, an intimate theme. A theme that you know, that is close to you, that has personal relevance.

Word umbrella Make a list of words (concepts, objects, places, spaces, people, ideas) around your theme that can become future images. Try to build an umbrella of all that information that surrounds your topic. Writing Writes! Allow yourself enough uncensored, automatic writing time to get out everything that may be going through your head, about that specific topic. Without stopping, without judging what you are writing. Minimum 10 minutes of automatic writing. The images Create images that manage to evoke some of the words you wrote around your theme. Remember not to be so obvious, not to make images so obvious about what you are talking about. It is better to evoke than show. Photopoems Finally, print the images and create each photopoem by placing the selected images on paper and select some of the texts that you can find in your automatic writing. Some words that can work to complement (AND NOT EXPLAIN) what is in the image. Don't forget to add manual details to each photopoem.

"It may be a chest hidden in the sea. It can be a constellation. I'm talking about nebulae and black holes Of roads without locks, without ties I speak of strings of stars that they assume paths, as we go living"

Once you have everything ready, upload your work to the forum by clicking on “Create your project”. Show your process: what papers did you choose, how is your diary, how much did you write, what did you discover about yourself. Also, comment on the work of your colleagues and give some feedback. As soon as I can, I'd love to do the same: be able to comment and give you some feedback too. See you later!”

“Final project Thanks for getting here and enter this world of breaking the rules and think from other places. I hope you enjoyed this adventure to have a diary full of images and words and then turn it all into poetry. Remember to go back to your texts and check that there is a good spelling, that the words are clear and that they are precise. Each person is a world, it is a different way of narrating, so don't stop adding those details that make your final project unique. Your look must be reflected in those five images. There are many ways to make poetry, That is why I invite you to be cr...”
