An example of how teaching English and Art compliment each other. This poem was created to inspire a banner artwork. The three banners from our class was exhibited at Metro Hall, Toronto and highlighted on the Visual Arts web page of the Toronto District School Board.
PERFECTION
– An Urban Girl Poem
Wind, sweeping down the streets,
Sky high buildings enclose,
Stop signs, streetlights and wheels,
No one seems to notice,
No one seems to care.
Environment is a virtual world,
Media staring, watching every move,
Influenced by technology, pressured…
There’s no escape,
No love, no emotions, no faith.
Time's running out,
Trapped in the "perfect image",
Trying to survive,
Holding on to ourselves,
Showing backbone to fight the inconclusive.
- Letitia, Elise, Humayra, Becky, Arthur, Jordan, Stacey
