Abstract: This section promotes students to actively respond to works of art. Students have the opportunity to assess what they have discovered and define what they still want to know. The pre-visit activity, Art Analysis and Creative Writing, asks students to write a fictional narrative based on a work of art. This exercise reveals how works of art elicit multiple interpretations. The on-site activity, Sharing Stories, Looking at Books and Paintings, asks students to share their personal perspectives, view examples of original books in The Wolfsonian collection, and compare paintings in the galleries. Students respond to a questionnaire that asks them to write their reflections on a work of art of their choice, including questions they may still have. The post-site activities comprise two creative writing exercises. The first activity asks students to write an acrostic poem that addresses the theme of nature or the environment. The second activity asks students to write a description of a personal conflict they have experienced. Visit www.pageatatime.org to see more about this collection.
