Work through the PERCEIVE card to carefully investigate your artwork.
Draw a line down your page. Looking at both images, list the things they have
in common
in the left column. To the right side, list as many differences as you can
see.
How might your two images relate in a story? Imagine time. Would one show an
earlier part
of a story and the other a later scene? Which of the pictures would be first?
Why? What
could cause the story to move to your second image? What can you create that
links them?
Write a short story that moves from your first image to your second image. Start by using your observations and senses to describe the first scene. Use your list of comparisons to share all the details you see. Imagine and tell what happens in or to the artwork that causes it to change. Is it a different time? Place? Different characters? What happened? Close your story with the same detailed description, but this time of the second image.
How did you decide which image to use as your first scene? Could you flip them and make a story work? What details did you see in each image that became important to your story? Could you continue your story and write your way back to the first image? Or is there a third scene you could depict?
