Words to Picture/Pictures to Words - City of Dublin FET College Fing...

Words to Picture / Pictures to Words is a creative collaboration between our Art and Creative Writing groups. Working separately, the writers shared their stories and poems, and the art learners responded by creating original artwork inspired by the written pieces. The two groups connected through their creativity, ideas and imagination. Guided by their tutor, who brought the project together in this booklet, learners had the opportunity to interpret, inspire and learn from one another’s work in a meaningful way. This meant the writers could see how their words might be understood in different ways, while the art learners could explore how stories and feelings could be shown through images, colour and shape. In this way, each group encouraged the other to think differently, notice new details, and develop their own creative ideas. The project encouraged creativity, careful observation, self-expression and confidence, while showing how words and images can communicate in different but equally powerful ways. It also gave learners the experience of contributing to a shared project, celebrating the talents, skills and unique perspectives of both groups.
