Story Behind the Artwork

Pick your favorite drawing that you’ve created and turn it into a story.

Artwork can hold a universe of narratives, characters, and emotions, even those created by first graders! This prompt encourages the intertwining of visual and written storytelling, urging students to give life and personalities to their artworks’ subjects. Encourage them to not only detail the story in their mind but also explore their creative process, making them think about what inspired their artwork in the first place.
