CJ2: Creative Writing

​Use art as inspiration for creative thinking:

1. First take time to notice, wonder, discover, and interpret
2. Based on your interpretation of the piece, begin writing based on inspiration from the art piece. Consider these options:
   1. Write down the possible meaning of the image and persuade your reader to believe that your story is the correct one based on details in the image.
   2. Identify characters and their motives. Who are they and what do they want? Explain how you know based on details.
   3. Pretend that you are in the image, and describe what you see, smell, feel, and hear.
   4. Describe the details that are just outside of the image, the ones we can’t see.
   5. Introduce dialogue into your story. What are they saying?
   6. Sequence the events of the story. What happened five minutes before this scene, what is happening now, and what happens five minutes later? How do you know?
   7. Write from the perspective of one of the characters in the image.
   8. Explain who is the protagonist and antagonist. What is their conflict?
