The Juniors get inspired for The Writer’s Eye

On a rainy Friday, Karen, Stuart, and Charlotte accompanied the Juniors on their docent-led tours of UVA’s The Fralin Museum of Art. In preparation for the annual writing competition, students learned about several selected works of art from paintings and photographs to sculptures and etchings. They were encouraged to take notice of details, interpret visual information, and discuss their responses. Then students chose a piece or explored the museum further, in search of a style or medium that appealed to their senses. They will now begin the process of creating their own inspired prose or poetry about their chosen piece.
