Writer’s Journal #14 – Observation and Description Practice OVERVIEW Observation is a critical skill for writers, thinkers, and researchers. It is skill, and like all skills, it requires practice. Also like all skills, proper practice will result in improvement and a deepening sense of how the skill works. DIRECTIONS In this Writer’s Journal, you will have the opportunity to practice and hone your observational skills. To that end, select one of the photographs of a bedroom in Mollison’s Where Children Sleep: http://jamesmollison.com/books/where-children-sleep/ As you explore your chosen photograph please do the following: - Write down everything you can observe in as much detail as possible. What do you see? Describe the objects, colors, shapes, arrangement. (These will be notes, so they don’t need to be polished writing.) - Do NOT makes judgments. Do NOT try to analyze why things are the way they are. Your only job is to try and describe what you see in as much detail as possible. Reflection and analysis happen later. Be as detailed and thorough as possible. one side of Kaya's room is a closet full of fluppy dolls and cute dresses.
