3 – POEMS
Choose a preexisting text, or a text of your own creation and create an interactive kinetic visual poem exploring all the text properties in the canvas object.  Similar to the Mandala project but here you must ONLY use words, text, vector masks, and characters. You MUST use at least 5 different font families from Google Fonts. Be daring, explore a topic that is relevant and matters = the goal is to emphasize the meaning of the text through all the text manipulation. / 800x800px
