On plain paper, draw a visual interpretation of the poem — what the poem would look like if you turned
it into a scene or abstract art.
Below your drawing, write a brief explanation (80–100 words) of what the visual represents and how it
connects to the poet’s message. (Use shadings pencils or pencil colours only)
Q3. Thematic Poster Design
