[teacherartexchange] What Paintings would make a good movie?

---------

Dear Art Educators,

Here is a message I wrote a few days ago but never sent....

A Thomas Kincade painting ("Christmas Cottage") is inspiration for a
holiday movie (one of those made for TV movies). What paintings do you
think would make a good movie? Might be fun to assign this to your
students - Have them pick out one painting and write what the movie
would be - and even select a cast for it.

Here are David Gran's selections (Carrot Revolution Blog):

Scroll down to "The Movie Version"

He found this on Modern Art Notes, Tyler Green's Blog:

Thanks David for including this in your blog. Folks are always looking
for ways to make art history/art appreciation/art criticism fun.
