SO, I read through some of the comments left on the other post about the final project and as I can tell everyone is interested in combining poetry and art. I have an idea that might perhaps interest some of you.
A few years ago (I don’t remember the story behind this) many walls around the world emerged with the words “Before I die….” Everyone would sign these walls with the things that they desire to do before death, this activity brought communities together.
This is how the wall looked.
I was thinking that perhaps we can do something like this but instead write “Art in NYC is…” and everyone would sign what they believe it is. This could be in poster or collage form. It would turn into our own, personal poem in a way. If some of us did not know what to write, we could also add pictures. Basically, we could put all of our creativity into this by making it colorful and unique.
What do you guys think? It doesn’t seem like too much work, yet it’s very representative of what we did all semester.

this is kinda cool.
Also, it doesn’t force us to write a poem. Writing a poem, for me personally, is a struggle.
This is a good idea because it won’t require a lot of work to finish that sentence, yet we will be able to express our thoughts on art well.
LOL, the poem idea would just be a last minute thing. I think this might actually be better. It can show us as a final product of this class, what Arts in NYC is to us.
