Students may want to ask themselves, what do the ideas above mean to me? The answers will be different for everyone, though we hope to give you some idea of what we are looking for. 我们希望学生在创造诗歌和环境艺术的同时,通过探索和尝试他们以前没有做过的事情,最大限度地发挥他们的创造力.
“文字之河”的目标是通过参与当地的艺术和诗歌,将年轻人与他们的流域——他们生活的环境——联系起来. 这意味着我们寻找的艺术和诗歌,表现出与你周围的世界真正的联系. 对一些人来说, that means a lot of green 和 open space; for others, 这意味着城市环境, 不同的声音, 气味, 和风景. We're looking for youth to show us what only they see about their world.
