Choose a piece of art, such as a painting or sculpture, and give the children quiet time to look at it before talking about it. Maybe take a few moments for the children to name several things they see in the artwork. Pose one of the following questions to build the children's observation and imagination skills:


1. If this artwork is the beginning of a story, what might happen next?

2. If this artwork is the middle of a story, what might have happened before? What might be about to happen?

3. If this artwork is the end of a story, what might the story be? 


This could be done in large group.
