    Ijust finished a class at the Dallas Musuem of Art on art and storytelling.
    Choose an art work that has some easily recognized objects, action or
    people. Discuss the painting with the students as a group discussion and try
    to find some connections. Try using an artwork such as a Faith Ringgold
    storyquilt. You can also make connections with Ringgold by reading Tar Beach.
    Next, have the students find one aspect of the painting that they can relate
    to and write a story about what is happening. You can also have then make
    paper quilt squares about what is happening in their story and include the
    story underneath.
