Interpretive Writing

Interpretive Writing is a small group or individual writing activity.

Directions
This activity was planned with high school students in mind, but can be adapted for a younger group. Show them a painting or other visual piece of art (examples provided). Point out key physical details of the artwork, and discuss what may be going on in the images. Individually or in small groups, have the students construct a story based on their interpretation of the visual provided. Share the stories the students have written.
