Work in groups. Use the productions you did in Into writing and Into speaking sections and choose a piece of art you would like to recreate as a visual, concrete poem. The idea is to make it portray an aspect of youth culture, of your own life, or of our time/society. Follow these steps:
a) Brainstorm ideas. Listen to the other members of the group, and give them your opinion – remember to do so in a respectful way.

e) Photograph and write captions for your art pieces. You can exhibit your art in contrast with the original one on a digital canvas (for example: . Accessed on: Mar. 24, 2020).
