Jan. 2: Contemplating Art

In today's writing Mr. White states that art, whether a picture, statue , or photograph can profoundly stir our emotions and stimulate our imaginations. He goes on to use two paintings as examples of this truth. He states his feelings on these two paintings and what they stir within him. He further states that the artists uses images to represent ideas and experiences much as a write uses words.
Assignment: spend time contemplating a work of art ad then write a one-page story in which you enter the work of art. Then describe how you interact with your surroundings. For possible inspiration he uses the scene in Mary Poppins, when Mary, Bert, and the children jump into one of Bert's sidewalk paintings.
