Paint Chip Pieces


Please polish and post the paint chip inspired pieces (alliteration!) you came up with in your journal during class.  You may group them all in one post or do a separate post for each one.  Include an image for each piece.  Let me show you how to do this if you don't know--it's easy and important to add visual interest to your work.

You should have (in any order you choose):
  • 3 haikus 
  • an acrostic using a paint color name
  • an 8+ line free verse poem that uses the 4 paint color names
  • an 8+ line narrative poem using the paint name as a title or in a line
You may substitute other pieces inspired by color instead of one or two (no more) of the above poems.  




If you finish with this assignment, click around on the info at HGTV about the Psychology of Color, how different colors affect our moods.   There are various color quizzes out there you could try, too.  Or you could continue to customize your blog with gadgets (quotes, images, tools) on your sidebar, or update your profile.  You could also check out what your classmates are posting today and leave them the kind of friendly, specific, supportive comments we are going for.  Thanks!

Monday's class will devoted to full writing workshop. Knowing how hard it is to think or write when there are distractions - talking - we are going to have a silent workshop.  This ought to help all of us complete the writing pieces inspired by color, post that writing to your blog, read and comment to others, work on the writer's notebook, or read independently, so no comfy chair or carpet area where it's tempting to talk and text.  Let's see how it goes!  Happy blogging!
