Work through the PERCEIVE card to carefully investigate your artwork.
Imagine that you are going for a walk (or a swim or a flight) into the artwork you have
chosen. Think about these questions: Would you shrink or grow when you are in the
artwork? Where would your starting point be? Where would you go next? How would you
move? What would you see around you? What would you hear, smell, and feel? Think
about your mood when you are in the artwork. Is it peaceful, bustling, scary, silly,
mysterious? How does your journey end?
Write about what you see, hear, smell, or taste while traveling. Use the most colorful and
descriptive language you can to describe your journey. From start to finish, try to paint the
experience of your image in words.
What details did you observe that you used in your writing? How do these details add
meaning and interest to the artwork? How do they add meaning and interest to your
writing?
