Blackout

Thanks for trying the Sharpie blackout technique (scientific terminology there) in class. Please share what you came up with in a New Post on your blog. You could type the text you left on the page as a sentence or poem or story.  You could also take a picture with your phone and just post your work that way. Add an image to go with your piece, too, if you'd like.  You decide on the title.

I'm thinking you could do this same techinique with any printed material containing a good chunk of text to work with. I also think you could be inspired to write all sorts of other pieces by using your blacked out piece as a starting point.

You could visit Austin Kleon's website to see what others have come up with and even post your own work there if you're up for it.

If you'd like to, you can also post some of the writing you came up with using the words and phrases cut from magazines--the poem you pieced together with the words you cut or maybe the story you came up with using the lines I cut out.  You could post a picture of your poem.  Just if you have time and want to add to your collection...
