Illustrations are pictures. Similar to pictures, poetry paints ideas using words and pictures uses images to paint our ideas.

Visit this link to an illustrated poetry site. See how the author and illustrator complement each other's work.

Write 4 rhyming lines about the above picture.

Now choose a media and make an original illustration for one of the poems found at a link on Session 2.
