Literal/Metaphor Piece

"They Will Never See Me Cry"
acrylic on clayboard


"They Will Never Break Me"
color pencil

The project was to illustrate a section of the poem, Hitting and Getting, by Philip Schultz and create a literal and a metaphorical piece. The poem was about his struggles as a child with dyslexia and how he dealt with it. The poem was fun to work with because all of the visual imagery. The top was the literal piece and the bottom was the metaphorical one. I wanted to create two dramatic pieces the represent the poem's powerful words.
