Details: The art of writing has been intertwined with visual art for centuries. The ability to articulate what is in an artwork sharpens skills in observation, communication, and discussion that are so valued in today’s world. In this tour, combine visual literacy with creative writing to expand your horizons in vocabulary, themes, plot, symbols, imagery, and more.
Students practice careful observation while discussing and responding to diverse artworks. This close observation generates descriptive words and ideas that can be used to produce creative writing. The writing activities expand students’ looking process and address state writing standards.
