                   Getting Started


                Art, whether in the form  of  a  painted leaf or  any other creative  expression,
                has the ability to inspire and uplift individuals, even in their darkest moments.
                The beauty in the world can remind people of the  value of life and provide
                a  reason  to  keep  fighting.  ”The  Last  Leaf”  by  O.  Henry  is  about  the  power
                of hope, friendship, and the impact of one’s actions on others.


            Read and Understand

            In a small part of the city west of Washington Square, the streets have gone
            wild. They turn in different directions. They are broken into small pieces called

            “places.” One street goes across itself one or two times. A painter once discovered
            something possible and valuable about this street. Suppose a painter had some
            painting materials for which he had not paid.
