Our Perceptions of the World...Starry Night



We tried our hands at interpreting art (the famous Van Gogh Painting, "Starry Night") and duplicating our own water color versions. It was cool to see how we could all see the same painting but interpret it differently. From there we wrote poetry about the art work, and it is (as you know) displayed in our room. How wonderful!

The same idea could apply to the current book we are reading together. Though we all read the same words, each of us brings our own personal experience to the story, life experiences, books, movies, stories we've heard or read about. That's what makes sharing a story together so interesting. We have so much to learn from and about each other. Stay tuned!
