Welcome to the Poetry, Art, and Storytelling Activity!

In this activity, you will learn about the work of artist Delita Martin through visual art, poetry, and storytelling projects facilitated by theater-maker Simone Cottrell. Use Martin’s Sisters artwork as inspiration for a creative writing project based on a personal memory. Then, turn your words into visual art by creating a poetry collage!
