Using Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and Archibald Motley's Nightlife as resources for narrative writing



NIGHTHAWKS

NIGHTLIFE


For this lesson, I will use Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" and Archibald John Motley's "Nightlife" as resources for narrative writing.  The lesson comes via the Chicago Institute of Art.

First, I give the students a brief background of both paintings
