Students will be able to hear spoken poetry and see an artist’s interpretation of it at Soul Crafted Methods tonight from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center.
Darius Norwood, the president of MindOverMatter PR and event host, said the event was a way to combine different forms of art.
“I wanted to combine poets with painters and drawers, so the poet is what makes the painter or artist feel, and they draw it out,” Norwood said.
The poets will read their poems, then the artists will show their interpretation of it afterwards.
Norwood said he is still receiving people who want to perform tonight, but as of the night before, he had 10 poet/artist pairs.
While the group is a Public Relations group, there are a couple of poets and musician members Norwood said.
“It’s a way to help with promotion, and a few are releasing albums within the next month,” he said.
Along with being able to showcase student talents, this event is an opportunity to be able to do something different at Ball State.
“[University Program Board] has an open mic usually, but I want to challenge the students' minds and I want them to actually use their craft to do something out of the norm,” he said.
Norwood said combining poetry and painting brings back real art.
“I think the last couple of years, art with drawing and painting haven’t been taken as seriously as it has been in the past and it brings respect to what artists do overall,” he said.
