Understanding the two major types of Creative Essays—Braided essays and Lyric es

Understanding the two major types of Creative Essays—Braided essays and Lyric essays—pick one piece of art OR the work of one artist to use as a focal point for a creative essay. Next, choose what type of essay you would like to try to compose. Use that artist or artwork as a point of departure (refraction!) to discuss a member of your family, an important moment in your life, a memory of a local or global event, etc. Your refractory lens should be unique to you.
Consider the benefits of both types of essays—which would be most appropriate for your subject?

Comments on part I
Weizhe, This is really lovely; I’m so looking forward to your reflections. I hope you include or are able to connect memories of your grandfather (or even what you know about his life)—as well as the idea of never having spending time with your father but that sensation of opening up to him—within this essay. There’s something really beautiful about the family lineage here that I’d love you to think on a bit through this lens of the painting. Thank you! A
