Story telling through art

107 partnered with art to collaborate on a unit about art as a form of story telling with ended with a trip to the Chicago Art Institute. Students leaarned about characters, setting and action in both art and writing. Students looked at works of art and told stories based on inferences. Then young artists chose their own story to tell through pictures. Students brainstormed with thinking maps and then drew a moment with characters settings and action. Students then wrote a sentence insert a picture frame to describe their work. We had a gallery walk to prepare for the museum. The museum was a blast too!
