overture literary magazine SPECIAL EDITION: Art Issue | Cardamom and Cloves
OVERTURE ART ISSUE | WINTER 2016 | CARDAMOM AND CLOVES
The winter art issue theme for 2016, "Cardamom and Cloves," has two commonly used Christmas spices as the focus, bringing to mind a freshness of the soul. Never one without the other, the two spices complement each other beautifully: cardamom, the strong, spicy, herbal brother and clove, the sweet, intense, and warm sister. Our artists have a wonderful melding of different skills as well, and each piece is a product of myriad "tastes."

OVERTURE
This is Overture Literary Magazine, a pursuit by Miller Middle School and Lynbrook High School to expand writing, art, and imagination within the Miller Middle School community. Join us as we share the creativity of students by publishing their work in a monthly magazine.
In musical terms, an overture is an orchestral composition forming the prelude or introduction to a musical piece. Much like an overture in music, this creative writing program will serve as an introduction to the landscapes of creativity, self-expression, and imagination.
Overture strives to inspire imagination, foster literary and artistic talent, and promote creative growth by teaching middle school students how to develop their own creative writing or art styles through mediums not offered at their own schools.
FOUNDED SPRING 2011 BY ROOPA SHANKAR AND KIMBERLY TAN
