Quick tip for anyone who wants to use a page from their favorite book but can't dare to rip it out because thats just basically dying lol : Photo copy it and cut it out! Distress one side a bit if you want to make it look like you tore it out of a book.
I do this a lot when I want to use book pages as stationery, decor items, and miscellaneous DIYs. So yeah, just photo copy it on your printer, at your local library, etc., etc.
Great idea thank you
I actually love doing black out poetry with books I dislike or hate so that I end up with something nice with them. I love how your channel took a different direction into literature/reading/creating in general, by the way.

I kinda consider doing blackout poetry with books I actually wanted to donate or just give away so that they have a "meaning" if that makes sense.
Wow what a great idea!!! Love this!! Thanks for sharing will do this. Do you have a channel where you show some of this from books you changed?
Who else has to do this cause of online school
Same !!!!!
omg same

"What I always do is go to a used book store so I dont feel guilty...". Proceeds to hold up a MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL copy of P&P. The pain
Oh my god. You just gave me the most awesome idea: I'm going to get a book from a thrift store or book sale, and everyday I'll make a poem out of one page until I end up finishing the entire book. I'll decorate the cover and give it to someone special (my boyfriend) as a gift. Tysm❤️❤️❤️❤️
how did it go?? it has been 4 years
I've been wanting to do this for a while but the idea of using paint instead of marker has really inspired me!!! thanks love!
Michele Arnwine yeah I also have been debating whether to try it or not but I think I'm now sold
So memes are appropriation art?
What?
Yes. It was always art.

I've discovered black out poetry through Instagram maybe half a year ago, and I've been in love with it ever since. And just earlier today I've done a couple of these poems, and I got so excited when I saw this video, I almost screamed from joy! It such a fun form of poetry to make, and it can be sooo expressive, even more so than "regular" poetry.
whos here because your school made you watch this video for online school
wells middle school?
yaaas what grade
@@cashoutxxxgamingshard6672 what grade or name
Me, I'm in 7th Grade.
@@et0t whats your name
I don't write poetry nor do I read it. I don't even like poetry, really. But you've convinced me to give this a try!! xD
I love that your videos continue to give me encouragement to push some boundaries. I first started annotating books because of you (then later went on to defacing them XD but I still credit you to giving me the urge to) and now this! I have vaguely heard of doing this, and a character in V.E. Schwab's Vicious does a similar thing. But I looooove the watercolor idea. I think in general I just love making books more personal and unique rather than just an everyday book sitting plainly on my shelf :) Wonderful video!
I LOVE BLACK OUT POETRY i'm so happy you did a video on this
YAY! I love it too! I hope this exposes it to more people!
I did blackout poetry in my English class last year which was quite fun. Our topic was Syrian refuges and I did one I'm pretty proud of. Although, I didn't use all black, I used other coloured sharpies to have a drawing combined with the blackout poetry (which everyone was supposed to do anyway), which I think turned out nicely. All in all, it was really fun.
congrats on 100k !!! you are probably one of my favourite youtubers, not just because your videos are entertaining and interesting, but your personality is so friendly and joyful. your channel is full of insightful and fun videos and i always learn something cool. good luck in the future of your channel 💕
Literally just found this channel and I'm in love. From personally being a book lover and artist myself, this channel is a breath of fresh air!! ♥️
I think this is such a beautiful idea and a set of acrylic paint JUST arrived for me from Amazon today.... books here I commmmmme!!!
Boho Bookworm IT'S MEANT TO BE!!!
Can you do a video showing more of your method explaining how you pick words that you do pick? What is the point of this poem?
OMG my class did blackout poetry as a unit last year in writing and I LOVED IT 😍😍😍
I love how you always recommend this kind of creative things because they always inspire me a lot ❤️
your videos have been so on point this past year! love it
A. De she is very unique and very intelligent I like 👍🏼
Ariel, I love these new videos you've been making! I've always heard about black out poetry and think it's extremely cool but I've never tried it myself - maybe now I will! and I annotated the last book I read and I kept thinking how great that video was too :) xx
Oooh. Stumbled across this whilst watching your videos. I've never heard of black out poetry.
At first it seems a bit bizarre but given a bit of time to think about it, it has huge creative potential. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for posting this one Ariel.
I love your enthusiasm its so refreshing 🥺
Nice! I love that you mentioned this can be a great way to stumble into some words you wouldn't use normally. I'll have to give it a try!
Kinzee it's actually quite refreshing but I love true self found words
I'm sharing this video with my students as part of my poetry unit! Thanks for your enthusiasm! Black-out poetry is a big hit with my students (unless they're posting here about being made to do it!)
hahaha fantastic! I love to hear that.
AH NOW I WANT TO TRY THIS. !!! I love how crazy unique your videos are !!!
I love how passionate she's about this
Thanks for reminding me this exists! I used to do this but just stopped for some reason. I also love creating an image out of the spaces and words that remain, and try to make a shape or figure that matches the poem. Which is more difficult, but very neat :)
love this idea! can't wait to dig through my stash and get started. I'm interested to see how painting would work....
Just started a sketchbook type thing. I just did a page where i cut out words from a book and put them together to form a poem! I just started sketching and journaling and i love it !! And love this idea!! You just got a new subscriber
Lol omg i said "just" so many times 😂😂 i'm done.
Fantastic. I've always been fascinated by alternate devices for arriving at poetry. This particular approach reminds me a lot of W.S. Burroughs's Cut-Up Machine, which would make a great follow-up to this (unless you're just too horrified by the Beats, which some people should be, though I've never met anyone that was....).
thank you so much for this! i find blackout poetry very therapeutic and relaxing ☺️☺️☺️
I am a high school SPED English teacher in California. You're are amazing this is the best Blackout Poetry video ever. You are a Goddess.
I'm a stay-at-home mom looking for ways to challenge my mind and came across this! Also, im an Estee subby and I'm so happy she introduced you to my world!
New to your channel and I just have to say your hair is fabulous!! Love them curls.
absolutely loved this video!! and the one on zines was soooo good as well! would love to see more of these types of vids i absolutely adore them
Chelsea Crowe Thanks so much! I really love making them - I love getting creative with them and sharing something I'm so excited about with everyone!
I just learned about this today and this video has been very informative. Thank you.
This sounds so cool! I'd never heard of it before but I definitely want to try it out :)
I did this at school and it's really fun!
That's a really nice concept, thanks for that! Certainly needed it to deal with my writer's block!
Magdalena Kolodziej let writers block pass because it will, never force your self to write but walking, talking, reading and generally living life outside your comfort zone will start your creative juices flowing
I had seen black-out poetry before on tumblr but had no idea what it was and that is was even a thing! Thank you so much for the discovery, I will definitely try!
This is such a cool idea! I'm definitely going to give this a go
THANK YOUUU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
I've recently begun trying to write poetry, and this looks like a fun way to do it. I imagine it's also a good exercise for getting a better eye (ear? feeling?) for the rhythm of language. I think I'll try this out soon!
Love it! Thanks for this Black Out Tutorial
Love it! Great way to spend quarantine haha
I need to do this for my Creative Writing class but I didn't really know how to do it! Thank you so much!!
Came here from Estee's vlog and I'm so glad I found your channel !! Binge watching mode on !
I did this as a library program with my teens last year. They really enjoyed it and got super creative!
jenthelibrarian I did it at a birthday party and it was SO MUCH FUN.
I love this idea and I'm definitely going to try it out! (Although I must admit my heart died a little when I saw that page you used was ripped out of a copy of Pride and Prejudice...:D )
This is an awesome idea! I can finally repurpose some of my unwanted books!
WAHOO to this video & omg you're so close to 100k!!!!'
I know this video is super old but I'm just coming back to it to say this made me start doing blackout poetry! And I know you posted at the end to share pictures with you, so I thought I'd tell you that I just posted up a video where I talk about getting into it and then read all of the ones I've done so far :)
You could cover the cover (ew) with brown paper so it looks cooler, you can write on it and change your mind without risking the book falling apart :)
It's like what Victor did in Vicious by V. E. Schwab, right?
I haven't read that book, but maybe!
In a way I suppose it is but Victor didn't really do it for poetry reasons.
Hey, what kind of watercolor paint is that? I have a set I got years ago I'm highschool but absolutely forgot the brand.
Using photocopies is another good way to do this "safely." You can also print off a blog post or article online and use it for a poem.
This was great! Thank you!
almost at 100K subs :) So happy for you!
NOW I WILL GO TRY IT OUT THIS INSTANCE
YES! GO! GO! GO! GO!
I watched this video in class today my teacher said you seem "very enthusiastic about black out poetry!" I think he's sooo right!
I love this, so cool. I'm heading off the second hand book store soon haha, 😄
this is an awesome idea!!
i genuinely enjoy watching your videos. ahh.
Love the confidence
thank you for teaching us to do black out poetry. we need to do it because out teacher tell us to do this but she didn't teach how to do this poetry. so thankyou.
I have never heard of Black Out Poetry before, thank you Ariel for introducing me to it. I feel inspired haha, i'm gonna try it :-D
I swear, it is one of the most innovative and artistic ways to create poetry nowadays! We could not have done it without the other people's work. ;)
Bro we watch you in class luv your vids
I thought about starting this and I think I'll make new covers so that I don't have to rip them off, but cover them with paper that I can paint or do doodles or use giftpapers or something. Or maybe use old fabric for cover?
thank you! I have been interested in black out poetry and i did try once but I couldnt 'find' a poem. I will try the planning idea!
i love donating my old books but sometimes i wanna keep them and do smt else with them 😭 so this is what i’ve been doing 💋
this is wonderful
I have a question. When you are looking for words you like, are you also trying to make actual sentences and phrases or only looking for words you like? Love this idea.
Good tutorial!
Where can i read or see videos of your poems??? I heard glass flower and spots and i really NEED more of your poetry!!!
So inspirational! I've just started with black out poetry and it's beautiful and funny too xD I started with "on the road" by Jack Kerouac, my life long love in literature!
really loved the idea :)
I have seen these before I think it was on the big "PINTER" site, you know what I mean. Never knew what they were called until now. It looks easy enough. I hate to admit it, but I am not a reader of books. But will go check out a book or two from the thrift shop. I am going to give this a try. Thanks for taking the time to show this. Oh, as for the cover, take one of your pages that you blacked out and glue it on the cover, or something else, such as a picture of something you like.
Wow, I had actually seen black out poetry while not knowing it was black out poetry, I'm definitely trying it out!
I love your videos 😌👌🏻
Where have I been? This is so cool!
Lauren Falcon it literally makes you feel awesome give it a go 👍🏼
how would you feel about doing a how to video about "regular" poetry? I'm a beginner and I'd love some tips (or just things you've learned over the years) :)
oooh i'm really excited to try this now.... guess what i'm doing over the march break???
I feel like this is very similar to just using magnetic poetry sets. Words are there for you, you just need to pick them. And no need to tear the cover off...just get a pretty scrapbook paper from the craftstore and cover it.
I love your personality :)
Using it to teach poetry tomorrow so Let’s see how it goes
For paint, try using a white crayon over your chosen words. Then when you add paint, the wax will resist the paint and keep it neat and give it a different effect.
Legit gonna go to the charity shop tomorrow and buy a book to make black out poetry with !!! u inspired me man !!!
becky louise Yes!!!!!!!!
I usually do collage poetry which is zeroxing different pages of books and cutting out words, its fun being able to move the words around to create poetry. But I need to explore blackout poetry as well! This video gave me a great idea to do so with a book that I didn't like the content that much, but the physical copy has sentimental value. SO why not create an art piece with it
I suddenly got distracted by that cool gold pen!
I'm definitely going to get a used book and completely fill it with black out poetry!
Bailee Walsh Heehee! It's from a brand called "Hay"!
Love this, and can’t wait to try it! Thank you! It’s so cool to see another book lover, your channel is so relatable! New sub 😍
THANKYOUUU
ahh Ariel I LITERALLY thought that I wanna try out blackout poetry earlier today
I tried this out in summer in a Sherlock Holmes book but this is motivation to get back at it! Maybe some more planning would actually help. :)
Wisperwynd yeah I feel the same, I think it's about being prepared
Beautiful
does it have to make sense?
Hey Ariel, have you read Nets? It's a poetry collection by Jen Bervin and its all of Shakespeare's sonnets but the poet did black out poetry on it and it's really cool!
dembookstho I haven't, but it sounds amazing! I'll definitely look into it!
Thank. You. So. Much.
Thank you
