The purpose of blackout poetry was to tell a story or a poem through your art. My poems is the following:
Where are all the people?
The countryside,
It takes some getting used to.
Your eyes see what is really there.
We have left,
Hidden from view.
It's influence,
Pushing us up into the sky.
To create this project, I tore a page out from a random book and picked out words and phrases to make a poem. After I had found enough, I painted the rest of the page blue with water color. Most other people made the rest of the page black but I liked the idea of being able to see the rest of the words. I also painted clouds in the center because I thought they nicely accompanied the poem and its theme of a peaceful countryside.
