Black Out Poems
Often when your about to start a new project you find yourself staring at a blank page waiting for the magical muse to appear. Recently through the 'No Straight Jacket' program at FTI we have been building up our skills in creativity by using a wide range of stimuli to get us creatively thinking.
I came across 'Newspaper Black Out Poems', you grab todays newspaper and scan down an article, pick out some words to make an interesting story - and then black out all the other words so only your chosen words remain. while this can be an art form all of it's own, it can also be a stimulus for a greater work. Now you have a strating point for your bigger story.
Take a look at some more.
