If you haven't heard of a Zine before then you're in the right place! "Zine" is shorthand for a homemade, often hand crafted magazine that can be photocopied and reproduced for creative or educational purposes. Zines can act as a free-form platform for sharing your writing, artwork, or poems in a way that is capable of reaching a larger audience beyond the classroom. Zines can come in many different shapes and sizes including self-reflective or artistic exploration, advocacy, informational, or simply for the fun of it! Learn more about how you can use this teen-friendly art form in your intermediate or senior generalist or Arts classroom. |
