Writing Wednesday


Ms. Abma's Meme
Art by: Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Veronica Veronese (1872)

This week's writing challenge has 2 parts, and it is optional. 

PART 1 is to take a tour of a museum online and choose a work of art as your writing prompt. Use that image as a jumping off point for creative writing. It could be a story about what lead up to what is happening in the image, or it could be descriptive writing about the art or the characters, have fun with it. 
Be sure you copy the picture into your document and include the Title, Artist, and Date. 

For example, this painting by Caravaggio sets a scene. What do you think is happening? 


Here are lots of links to virtual museums to explore: https://artsandculture.google.com/partner

PART 2 is to make a meme! Humour can help us get through difficult times together. Use an image (or 2) you found during the virtual tour. Again, remember to include the original Title, Artist and Date of the work. Download the image you want to meme and use https://makeameme.org/memegenerator (or a site you're familiar with) to generate a meme. Follow the instructions there to create it. Save the image to share with us. (htabma@educbe.ca)

*Note: some art has nudity. Nudity in art is not uncommon, but please choose an image that is school appropriate*

Here are some examples to enjoy:

Writing Wednesday

Image
Todays writing challenge is to write from the perspective of an inanimate object.  Listen to an episode of the Everything Is Alive Podcast. In it, the host interviews someone who improvises their responses as if they are the object.  Choose a specific object from your house, think about where it's been, what it's used for and how it might see the world. Be descriptive in it's experiences. Your writing can be a story from the object's perspective, or it can be a conversation with the object.  Find lots of good episodes here:  Everything Is Alive Podcast  or on  spotify Writing Wednesday is an optional activity. I would be more than happy to take a look at your work if you share it with me. Here is a silly video the podcast reminded me of:
