| Summary |
"From painting to decorative arts and sculpture, art is a wonderful avenue for students to explore the basic skills of writing - point of view, stream of consciousness, description, monologue, and more. Using pieces from different historical periods (which can be substituted by similar pieces in any museum), Walsh-Piper shows how to get students to draw upon art, imagination, sensations, and even dreams to develop their writing."--BOOK JACKET |
