Art and Writing

I like to incorporate art into most subjects, especially writing. Reluctant writers respond well to drawing or painting their ideas first, then transforming their thoughts into words. So often students appreciate the opportunity to have a choice in how they express themselves. I generally encourage students to write about their art, which has inspiired creativity in both areas.

Creating comic strips is a good way to introduce art into writing. With the interest in graphic novels, it is not difficult to present this method of writing to students.

Another way to use art as an ispiration to write is to post an interesting picture and have student construct a story about it.

I am happy to share them with teachers, students, homeschool parents. I will add to them routinely. View all posts by Caysunset
