Using the artwork, title and sentence you selected from the Burdick book as your inspiration, please draft a creative piece of your choice. Spend some time on this one and shoot for at least 350-500 words, more if you can to really develop your story. Use plenty of vivid details and consider using dialogue. You might create a fictional short story or maybe adapt a narrative from your own experience that connects to Burdick's picture or words.
You'll have today and Thursday in the lab to draft and polish your story and then create a New Post on your blog by the end of class on Thursday that includes both your writing and the Burdick image (looks like most of them are on Google images if you search "harris burdick"). Use the title that went with your image as the title of your post. Use the sentence that went with your image somewhere in your piece--put that sentence in bold.
I'd like to move on to using art as writing inspiration next week, and this seemed like an interesting transition from our study of text for ideas--it so creatively (and mysteriously) fuses both. You can read more about The Mysteries of Harris Burdick (and submit your story if you'd like!) here.
