A picture description is an ideal way of practising your English vocabulary in all sorts of fields. And there's also a benefit for everyday life – imagine you want to show pictures of your family or home to your foreign friends. Have a close look at the picture and decide on how to structure your picture description. What is important or special? What should the viewer pay attention to? If possible, use the hints below:
-
name of artist and picture, year of origin (John Holcroft - Look up in the Net)
-
short description of the scene (e. g. place, event)
-
details (who / what can you see)
-
impression on the viewer
-
artist's intention
-
perspective, colours, forms, proportions etc.
