psychologist Lev Vygotsky posed that language forms thought and thought forms language. So, for students to
create art with rich, meaningful ideas, and purposeful intention, they need prompts to inspire their thinking. This packet
outlines how to use quotations from literature to engage the imagination and prior knowledge of students. This way,
students receive scaffolded support while developing a strong sense of what they want to create and, more impor-
tantly, why. As an interactive guide, this packet demonstrates how literature can be a gateway to art making as well
as how to identify quotes that serve as successful entry-points.

7. Gather inspiration.Turn to a partner, or in a small group, and discuss your MAIN THEME. What images or ideas come to mind?
Take notes or sketch ideas.
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.”EXAMPLE:
(One possible theme might be: intuition and instinct perceive what truly matters.)
8. Thumbnails.Create at least three thumbnail sketches of visual compositions that express your ideas in relation to the main theme
of your quote. Rotate the paper for landscape or portrait orientation. Thumbnails should be quick studies that con-
sider the following: a sense of light and shadows, focal point, various perspectives, foreground/background, balance,
rule of thirds, and perhaps color.
Berk, Inspiring Student Art Making, 2013, p. 8
(NOTE: Sketches should NOT be a DIRECT representation of your quote. !e quote is an inspiration for the intention of your art.)
9. Reflect, gather feedback.Show your compositions to a teacher or colleague.
Which composition is the strongest, why?
How clearly is your idea communicated? Can they understand what you drew and why?
What can you do to strengthen your composition or evolve your idea even further?
