5. Wednesday, March 27 I can discuss the mood of an image and the effects on its audience.

6. Imagine you are an artist that wants to paint a scene from “The Charge of the Light Brigade” using paint and canvas. What part of the plot in this narrative poem would you paint? Why? What mood would you try to portray in that scene? What evidence from the text did you use to come up with the mood? Spend the next class period creating it.

7. What will you tell them? Your painting is now hanging in the school hallway. Students are standing in front of your painting observing and thinking about it. They ask you to explain why you painted the scene the way you did. What will you tell them? Think about: Why you chose certain colors? What mood were you trying to create? Why? What you felt while creating it? What you wanted your audience to feel when they looked at it? Why you chose that part of the plot over others? What would you write as a caption for your painting? Why? Be ready to share!
