Blackout

This week for my creative practice I visited a technique from Austin Kleon

http://newspaperblackout.com

Austin is a artist who created poem by blackout words of newspapers to create his poems.  I decided to make my own version of Blackout

BLACKOUT
Supplies needed:

Magazine, Book or Newspaper
Sharpie

Step One:
I selected a fashion magazine

Step Two: 

Choose Article

** I choose this article really just by flipping to a page and tearing it out**

Step Three: 

Choose Article 

**I choose the one at the bottom the title caught my eye**

Step Four: 

Use Sharpie to blackout words

** I just started drawing lines and choosing words not worrying about phrases or anything**

Step Five: 

Complete your poem 

Here is my completed poem: 

Still Need 

I never became?

he said my boyfriend didn't want to the right thing?

I've questioned become involved. 

Because I had me 

I am and you

Who's been some to go to call cautiously

But we all know what 

Reflection: 

This was a really great project for me, I would love to continue with this process to create a collection using different mediums of words from newspapers, books, journals pamphlets ect. I think the act of using someone else words to create your own is very exciting and fulfilling. I'm interested in creating more blackout poems and then exploring movement and art with the influence of the poems created!
