Project: Create Ekphrastic Poetry
This week’s project is best for ages 10+.
Ekphrastic Poetry provides insight into what the viewer sees happening in a drawing, painting and/or sculpture. {The word “ekphrasis” comes from the Greek word for “description.”}
In this project, older students (ages 10+) will develop a poem or story that describes in vivid detail an object of art from the Neuberger Museum’s collection.
