Wisconsin Arts Board

On this website, I discovered a contest called Poetry Out Loud, sponsored by the Wisconsin Arts Board. A contest like this gives young adolescents the opportunity to share their original poems and receive feedback and energy from their audience. I consider poetry and writing in general to be a form of art. For people who are passionate about their writing creates art with their words. I, myself, am an avid writer. The way I put words together to make a story is relative to the same process in which I put together a photograph. Although, I've never really dabbled in poetry, I've always found it interesting and elegant. I think words can add an amazing sense of character to a photograph, painting, or drawing. It can add so much more life and personality and voice. I love the correlation between the two, and plan to use this technique in my future photography endeavors.
