Picturesque Writing

by Kim Waltmire

All learning types will benefit from this fresh, hands-on approach to grammar and composition.  The rich visual and sensory components in the writing process will enhance story making and expand the studen't s vocabulary.  The lessons create an interactive atmosphere where writing topics that used to be ordinary and mundane become varied and imaginative.  Stories become lasting and meaningful because students have the opportunity to create a picture, project or puppet through expresive art.  Each student will become engrossed in a brilliant idea sculpting, coloring, painting, or swirling a brush using dabs of contrasting colors.  Children will step back and survey their work with confidence, so even those who had once been reluctant writers are eager to pick up their pencil and scratch the surface of their paper with their rich, descriptive language.  Softcover · 126 pgs.  Grades K-12
