My kid was prompted to write about where they come from, where they are going, how they got here, who they are, anything he wants about this image.. in story form.. Ill post his result here later..
***************
So I wasn't real pleased with the results of my sons art prompted writing assignment.. I did a lot of describing the picture, and not alot of telling me a story about the picture. But what he wrote was punctuated well. I can't say his writing was bad, but it lacked the imagination I had hoped for. I was however impressed with some of the ideas he had.. He wrote that this was God and Jesus and they were at the grand canyon.. Beyond that it was things like, god has a white shirt, and jesus has a red hat, and that sort of thing. I need to unlock his imagination...
I blame public school, and myself for allowing it for his lack of imagination.. I remember in 1st grade he was givin a picture of a fish to color and he colored each scale a different color, and while he colored inside the lines , he got a bad grade on the picture and was told he was wrong because he didn't color it all one solid color. It ,ade me mad at the time, but hubby wasn't onboard with the homeschool idea at the time so I had no choice but let it slide.. But I think things like that stifel a creative mind. Now to figure out how to unlock that creative originality again after public school did its damage..
Anyway... We are just starting our homeschool venture and I will keep you updated on how its going.. Please feel free to update me on you homeschool venture as well..
