Setting – Practice Activity

2. Directions
1. First, for each piece of artwork, list details about the setting. Include examples of each component (time, place, cultural context) if possible.
2. Next, describe how this setting might create a mood/atmosphere, impact the plot, or impact characterization if it were transferred to a story rather than just a piece of art.
