 * Narrative Writing involves a story, and every story -- whether through image or text, involves plot, character, setting, conflict, and point of view. Our goal in this session was to model ways of engaging your students in the close examination of works of art and the stories they hold for us. With //Breaking Home Ties// we focused primarily on character, conflict, and point of view. With //The Annunciation,// we examined the details artists use to tell stories which are central and well-known within a culture. With //The Life Line// we moved toward the examination of symbol and theme. Our examination of the //Chinese tomb figures// allowed us to use objects to form conclusions about character and setting.**
