Last semester, I learned about different types of poetry and even wrote a few pieces of my own which eventually developed into a portfolio. After my portfolio was completed, I picked one poem and brainstormed ideas of ways to turn it into a piece of art. I ended up picking my sonnet, called "this feeling." It is about my experience of seeing one of my favorite bands in concert. When I wrote up my project proposal for the art piece, I said that I wanted to create something fast paced, with a lot going on, because that is exactly what I was feeling during the concert. I decided to create a graphic design piece, and utilize my photoshop skills. Also, I figured the best way to create a different interpretation of my poem would be through graphic design.
Here is the poem and my final art piece:
"This Feeling"
By: Kate Gallagher
This seems to be the best night I have seen
Bass is all around, flooding through my ears
My life is complete, I’ve just reached fifteen
It has just begun, my mind quickly clears
The floor is dirty but the air is worse
But not one person cares a single bit
He approaches the third and final verse
Look up, falling confetti is moonlit
I wish for this feeling to last all night
I wish for this moment to never end
He departs from the stage, down go the lights
Best fifteen dollars I ever did spend
When walking out the door, the feeling declines
But this memory shall forever shine
