“THE UNDERLYING PHILOSOPHY OF THE ART:21 PROJECT IS THAT CONTEMPORARY ART CAN BE OF REAL INTEREST TO A GLOBAL AUDIENCE. BY MAKING CONTEMPORARY ART MORE ACCESSIBLE, THE ART:21 SERIES AFFORDS VIEWERS AND STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCOVER THEIR OWN INNATE ABILITIES TO UNDERSTAND CONTEMPORARY ART AND TO EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES FOR CREATIVE THINKING AND SELF-EXPRESSION.”
ACROSTIC POETRY IS AN INNATE AND EXPRESSIVE WAY OF CONVEYING A MESSAGE.
Acrostic poetry is a form of short verse constructed so that the initial letters of each line taken consecutively form words. The term is derived from the Greek words akros, “at the end,” and stichos, “line.” The word acrostic was first applied to the prophecies of the Erythraean Sibyl, which were written on leaves and arranged so that the initial letters of the leaves always formed a word. Acrostics were common among the Greeks of the Alexandrine period and with the Latin playwrights Ennuis and Plautus. Medieval monks and poets also made this form of poetry popular during the Middle High German and Italian Renaissance periods.
