Visual/Literary Art Project: The ART of a Letter
Written words stand the test of time. For fathers day, we’re using our words to show how much we value our dads, father-figures and/or role models. This week’s activity is to use the art of letters and/or words to show how much we care. We’ll be writing letters, creating acronym poems, and adding words to our pictures at articulate honor and appreciation.
Before writing your letter, creating your poem, or drawing your art piece, stir your creative juices and explore what’s in your heart:
Flip through magazines to find pictures that make you think of the person you’ve decided to honor.
Look through old photographs of you and the person.
List adjectives (describing words) and verbs (action words) that related to the person you are writing about.
Write a letter from the heart.
Tell your dad, father-figure or role model what you appreciate about them and how much you care.
To jazz things up a bit, choose decorative paper or create a nice border for your letter.
Acronym Poems
1. Write each letter of your dad’s, father-figure’s, or mentor’s name on a separate line. Get as creative as you’d like with the font.
2. Write a word or phrase about them that begins with the letter on each line.
3. Use the poem in your letter or as an insert in your the card you create.
Draw or paint a picture for dad!
1. Draw a picture for your dad, father-figure or role model.
