Title: Ekphrasis: Using Art to Inspire Poetry
URL: http://readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/ekphrasis-using-inspire-poetry-1093.html
Description:

In this lesson, students explore ekphrasis—writing inspired by art. Students begin by reading and discussing several poems inspired by works of art. Through the discussion, students learn ways in which poets can approach a piece of artwork (for instance, writing about the scene being depicted in the artwork, writing in the voice of the person depicted in the artwork, speaking to the artist or subject of the painting, etc.). Students then search online for pieces of art that inspire them and then compose a booklet of poems about the pieces they have chosen.
