Third Avenue El

Do you like watching the people around you in a busy place? Do you wonder who they are and what they are doing?

The artist, Reginald Marsh, took a sketchbook wherever he went in New York City so he could draw the people he saw going about their daily lives. This painting is based on sketches he made inside a train carriage, jam-packed with passengers.

• Count how many people you can see.

• Choose a person in the picture and invent a story about who they are and what they are doing.
