When does text become art? How does the use of words in artwork impact the whole?

Then, using a found poetry activity to help spark ideas, incorporate text and traditional or modern calligraphy to create text-and-image-based artwork. Participants may attend this single session and create standalone artwork, or attend multiple sessions. The artwork from this session can be added to a handmade artist’s book during the final session.
