Blake: not just a poem but also a picture

Tiffany Simon (discussion 1B)

this was covered in the beginning of class and he put a lot of energy into it which makes me think it may be important for the final.


*All of his work was accompanied by pictures

*pictures were usually done by one person and the words another... BLAKE DID BOTH!!
*this connected them because the poet was able to put his thoughts into pictures as well as words which give the poems a deeper meaning.

*work was put onto a copper plate and etched into the copper.
*pictures were then done the same to.
*work was put together.

*Blake did everything himself:
- mixed his own ink
-sketched out everything
-pressed his own work

DEDICATION!!
