Instructions:
The student will write an original piece of prose or poetry inspired by an image (in my ENC 1101, I chose to provide a link to the online gallery of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)).
Search the Internet and choose a second image inspired by your free-write.
Write an original piece of prose or poetry inspired by the second image you've chosen.
Culminating Group Activity:
Groups share their images and responses to the Form with the entire class, creating an open, full class discussion about visual composition.
