Students Publish Illustrated Books of Poetry
Jun 12th
This year, the Art 3200 and Writing 2203 classes at Carbonear Collegiate were awarded an Art Smarts grant to publish books of poetry. The three writing classes, with the help of author Janet McNaughton, wrote various forms of poetry including colour poems, haikus, and poems involving fairy tales. Jennifer Morgan worked with the two art classes in illustrating the poems. Students were given the opportunity to use the printing press from St. Michael’s Printshop to produce their editions of intaglio prints. They were shown how to etch and ink their metal plates and it wasn’t long before they were working the printing press themselves. On the evening of June 4th, the published books were displayed for a public viewing at Carbonear Collegiate. The audience was entertained by soloists and the boys’ choir. Other artists displayed their artistic works as well. Ms. Worthman, Mr. Fillier and Ms. Wrice would like to thank all those involved in making this project a huge success. Special thanks go to Janet McNaughton and Jennifer Morgan for sharing their talents with our students and to the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council for making this project possible.
