CREATIVE THINKING & WRITING
This practice is designed for the viewer to use his or her imagination. Take time to look beyond
the surface into the depth of the painting, connecting shapes and assembling colors to create
images throughout the painting. The more you look at the painting, the more you begin to see
and realize the unlimited possibilities within the painting....What do you see in the painting?
Students were asked to write a story and or what they see in painting.
