I find Poetry difficult to understand. It really is a personal interpretation of the lines which are affected by your own life experiences and understandings. So is there ever a 'wrong' interpretaton?
Poetry is about expression and is an opportunity to delve into yourself and explore your feelings and emotions.

Recently I visited the Surrealism: The Poetry of Dreams exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery. It was here that I learned that this artistic movement was founded by a French writer and poet; André Breton. André Breton decided (along with the Dadaists) that rational thought was at fault for the world’s problems and that change could only come about through the subconscious mind.
The one thing I now really appreciate about poetry is its effect upon Visual Art and vise-versa. Being an Visual Arts student this subject has helped to further my knowledge and understanding abut the different eras; from Romantic to Contemporary.
Throughout the blog I have included some pictures of art that have helped me to better understand my research on these periods from a Visual Arts perspective.
I am also currently completing my Bachelor of Learning Management and I have also found this very uselful as a cross curricular reference that I can incorporate in my Visual Arts and English lesson plans.
