Here is another example of how poetry and art are connected.
I want to decorate my room with color from sunflowers that all I can imagine sharing the arbitrary orange and yellow I selected from the field of my imagination
placed them on a table so it’s the first and last thing one sees when entering or leaving in a hurry to compel a person to slow down
enjoy the released yellow envelops from a distance I have not opened
I want to express myself, but I dare not less my enthusiasm overwhelm you and my words open as sunflowers
no one should see so much yellow, I think
so I hold back, afraid of having so much love it makes your cheeks turn orange
so stay a while, paint with me, let our painting sigh, let the rooms be yellow mornings
In comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences between these forms of expressions, how do poets and artist conveying their ideas? How might you rely on the descriptive word of poetry to create art? Just as poetry relies heavily upon rich descriptive words, art relies on elements and design principles to create a visual language. What elements of art would you rely upon to create a work of art?
