Describing a Work of Art

When we describe something, we want to give the reader/listener a good idea of what it looks like. All artists try to express their feelings and emotions through art/ in their paintings.

It’s such a powerful exciting composition.

7) Who is doing what?

Here you describe the objects in the work of art or you say what is happening just now. Use the Present Continuous

Describe season/weather.

What can we see? At the first glance very little, but suddenly we notice… .

This famous picture depicts a scene from… .

The subject is depicted… .

(Detail/s) tell/s us that the subject was a tailor.

Other details (symbols) represent ideas of themes. The skull in the foreground symbolizes death.
