While comics, and comic books, are broadly popular to a larger audience, \u201cpoetry\u201d has associations with difficulty and complexity\u2013with tortured thoughts and linguistic cleverness.&nbsp; These are absolutely qualities of poetry\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emily_Dickinson\">Emily Dickenson<\/a> springs to mind as an example of both\u2013but in considering the BUILDING BLOCKS of poetry I wanted to set some of our preconceived notions about it aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Much like with comics, we begin with the basics.&nbsp; In comics, these are the eyes, the pose of a figure, and the ways that visual art can express emotion through a language of line and seeing.&nbsp; One of the challenges with poetry is that it\u2019s both a visual AND an auditory medium: expressed through sound as well as sight.&nbsp; In many ways, poetry is about using <em>words<\/em> in their visual form to evoke the <em>sound<\/em> that they make.&nbsp; But poetry as an artform predates the invention of writing, and so it makes sense, when first beginning, to talk about poetry as THE MUSIC OF WORDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Music has much to teach us about poetry.&nbsp; In introducing the \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d of poetry, I explain that there are three elements of music that we can use in poetry.&nbsp; The first is RHYTHM: how fast or slow you say something.&nbsp; In poetry this can lead to a discussion of syllables and even meter, but for the purposes of beginning I simply say that we can say a word FAST or SLOW.&nbsp; Saying a word or sentence FAST can create excitement, anxiety, or confusion.&nbsp; Saying a word SLOW can create drama, calmness, or anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The second element we cover is VOLUME.&nbsp; We can say a word LOUD, evoking surprise, anger, or joy.&nbsp; We can say a word QUIETLY, evoking softness, fear, or thoughtfulness.&nbsp; The third element, often misunderstood, is TONE or PITCH.&nbsp; We can say a word HIGH\u2013in a cartoonish falsetto.&nbsp; We can say a word LOW\u2013a growling rumble that can evoke seriousness.&nbsp; In exaggerated form TONE can be a funny exercise in voice modulation\u2013but it also plays an important role in meter, as the relative high- or low-ness of a syllable can be used to build RHYTHM as the voice of the speaker rises and falls as she recites a poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Poetry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Taken together, these 3 musical facets\u2013RHYTHM, TONE, and PITCH\u2013are ways we can make our poetry more expressive when we recite it\u2013to bring more emotion into our performance of poetry.&nbsp; While poetry, of course, does not <em>need<\/em> to be performed, I would argue that putting audiences in touch with the performative, <em>musical<\/em> qualities of language are extremely important when introducing poetry to first-time audiences, especially kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">At DO ART PRODUCTIONS, a major objective is not only bringing creativity to people, but also using creativity to build SELF-CONFIDENCE in the people we meet.&nbsp; One of the biggest fears for people of any age is public speaking\u2013expressing oneself in front of a crowd of people or in a social setting.&nbsp; There are many ways to alleviate this fear by becoming better at what Chris Anderson (of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/\">TEDTalk<\/a> fame) calls \u201cpresentation literacy.\u201d&nbsp; But one of the ways we can become better presenters\u2013better <em>talkers<\/em>\u2013is by accessing the full power of the most amazing musical instrument in the world: the human voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In introducing POETRY, both as a short expression of language (we prefer the 3 line poem), and as an opportunity for vocalization, we teach the audience how to think of their own voice as an opportunity for creative expression.&nbsp; Often the way we use our voices is reactive.&nbsp; We get loud when we\u2019re angry, speak fast when we\u2019re nervous, and high-pitched when we\u2019re scared.&nbsp; Using these musical elements <em>deliberately<\/em> in the context of poetry\u2013where there are no \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d emotions, just opportunities to communicate these emotions to others\u2013allows us all to become more aware of how we communicate to people in general.&nbsp; Ultimately, poetry is expressive language\u2013and all language is an opportunity for expression.&nbsp; In other words, all language is&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">poetry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Language is perhaps the most incredible \u201ccreative superpower\u201d that human beings have, and by accessing the musical qualities of language\u2013by looking at RHYTHM, VOLUME, and TONE\u2013we a lay a foundation that can allow us to explore poetry, performance art, and even other forms of writing.&nbsp; And by allowing people to take better control of their greatest musical instrument\u2013their voice\u2013we help them become better at the artform of being human itself: an art that lasts all our lives, the greatest gift we can give back to the world we came from.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello to everyone out there in the Do Art Universe!
