Emotions can be many things: big, scary, powerful, productive, and more. And sometimes they do produce screaming, but they also inspire art. In this session, students will explore emotionally-charged artwork and poetry created by a range of artists and authors. Then, the students will replicate that creative process and develop their own visual artwork or writing featuring images or words pulled from their own emotional store houses.
