Using their keen eyes and ears, learners build story observation skills which they will use to create sensory detail in their art. They note all of the things they observed on a walk, categorize them by sense, and then use the same skill as they analyze the painting, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The lesson culminates in a writing and play-acting activity.

Visual art is the inspiration for a creative writing activity focused on having learners write from different perspectives.
