Raise your hand to describe what you see. Painting by N.C. Wyeth.

What do you think is happening in this painting?

What do you think might happen next?

This is a painting done by the artist N.C.Wyeth. The original idea for the painting was about children using their imaginations and finding imaginary shapes of things in the clouds.

This was an illustration done for the story, “Jack and the Beanstalk.” How does the giant fit in the room compared to the other things in the room? Does the giant look comfortable standing in this room? This illustration is in the public domain.

More Ideas for your drawing: Will your drawing be about long ago or today? Will there be other imaginary characters there? What is your giant doing? Are they trying to do the same sorts of things we do everyday but in a tiny space? Are they working, playing or resting? What kinds of clothes will they wear? What sort of things will be around them? Are there other giants around? Are there normal sized people around? What are those people doing? Are they afraid or happy? ©Janet Johnson 2013
