AP Lit 2B/3B: Poetry As Design EXPERIMENT PHASE!

Today, we play with design & poetry.

We are in the EXPERIMENT phase of our DEEP design thinking process.

We will briefly review the CRAP principles of effective design by looking at them in practice.

And we will take a look at some particularly design-oriented poetic terms that will be particularly helpful on the AP Lit test as well.  They are highlighted here on this collection of terms from Dennis Carroll.

We'll see if we can identify some by looking at one or two of the poems in the Poet Speaks of Art collection from Harry Rusche at Emory University or perhaps by looking at the Scottish Poetry Library and its poster collection.

And then we make! Design Challenge: In 25 minutes, create a design inspired by a song or poem that works toward our collaborative goal.

Some of Tuesday's results from the Commercial Arts/AP Lit collaborative.  This class worked with Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball."
