Lowell high school ninth grade students’ stunning poetry visual art projects are now being displayed at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum at 200 Larkin St. near the S.F. Civic Center. Their poems written during Susan Terence’s poetry workshops range from oral histories to social justice issues, poetry of self-exploration and love, and ekphrastic poetry (poetry about art.) Their art projects are multi-media, utilizing watercolors, acrylics, oil pastel, sculpture, paper collage, pen and ink. Their poetry projects will be up through March. The hours of the SF Asian Art Museum are: Fri.-Mon:10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Thurs.: 1 p.m.-8 p.m. (Tues.-Wed. closed.)
The poetry/arts project received funding and support from: the San Francisco Arts Commission; Lowell High School Alumni Association; Friends of the (Ruth Asawa) School of the Arts; and California Poets in the Schools.
