Wall Quotes & Poems (All Levels)

Program description

Students will come up a quote or poem that describes their public art message they want to display on campus. Letters can be created and mounted in a variety of ways to make a professional display that highlights each student’s creative contribution. This project can be completed as a class or in small groups. It is a great way to get students excited about reading and writing. Each letter will be enhanced using mixed media art and/or painting techniques.
