Assignments for Oct 6

For your Scribbler assignment, write about your Writing Space. 300 words (note this is longer than your usual Scribbler pieces).

You might find useful these Guardian profiles of Writers' Rooms.

For your other Assignment, please write 800 words or so on a personal encounter with a work of art. For this piece, you need to visit a museum and look at an original artwork (no reproductions) and then write a personal reaction to it. Your essay could be emotional, intellectual or philosophical. Just make it personal. And please include some background on the work beyond its title. Do a little research onthe artist, genre, the story of the work itself. Just a short paragraph explaining the work's provenance.

You might find interesting the Art Blog by Bob. The posts here are all first rate. And he has lots of useful art links, as well.
