Rumi Poetry Mixed-Media

Graphic Design 1 students were introduced to the poetry of Mevlânâ Celâleddin Mehmed Rumi, the 13th Century mystic whose work transcends national and ethnic borders. Each student selected a translated version of one of Rumi's works and created a digital word and image interpretation of their own. Students were urged to be very experimental with this work, investigating a contemporary connection to the poem lifted from another time and place. Final versions could use any format and materials, some taking 3-dimensional form as students were encouraged to move out of their comfort zone in graphic design.
