(un poème visuel)
Le Papillon - Poème par Guillaume Apollinaire
What is a Calligramme?
A Calligramme is a visual poem created by writing the words of a
poem in patterns to create images that illustrate the title, theme,
and/or meaning of the poem. The poet Guillaume Apollinaire
invented this art form in the early 1900’s.
How do you make a Calligramme and submit it for judging?
1. Think of an image that illustrates the title, theme(s), and/or meaning of the poem
assigned to your level.
2. Use a pencil to draw the outline of your image.
3. Then, use a pen to write the words of the poem within your image.
4. Once the ink is completely dry, erase your pencil lines.
5. Write the title and author of the poem in the margin. (Do NOT write your name!)
6. Attach a cover page with the title, author, and your name (for anonymous judging).
7. Sign the Confirmation of Originality and submit it with your Calligramme.
Voilà! C’est fait!
Soyez créatifs et Amusez-vous bien !!!
