Steps:
- Choose an artwork and try out the “What’s the Story?” Looking Card with a partner!
- Look closely at your artwork and ask yourself: what is going on in this artwork? Think about the following parts of your story…
- Who – a character in your story
- What – an object that’s a part of the story
- Where – a symbol or object shows where the story takes place
- Create 3 foam ornaments that represent the “who”, “what”, and “where” of your story. Example: Who: Sally the crocodile / What: the golden apples she’s searching for / Where: a forest at night time with a red and blue star in the sky!
- Attach each ornament to a piece of white twine: tie around your ornament or use a pencil to punch a hole for hanging.
- Tie your ornaments to your paper roll hanger.
- Feed fabric “yarn” through the paper roll to hang up your artwork!
