Writing Flash Fiction from Art, Part 1
<p>In this Collection, students will choose art to help generate a piece of original flash fiction. </p>
<p>Flash fiction - which is limited to 750-1500 words - is uniquely useful to developing writers because it allows them to practice their writing skills over a number of shorter pieces. The artwork is of great purpose to creating Flash Fiction because it can provide a writer with three of the five essential elements - Setting, Situation, Sensory Detail - as identified by Katey Schultz of the Interlochen College of the Creative Arts. Another useful resource is found here.</p>
