snap a photo, the creature had disappeared. Not even a ripple appeared on the water to show that it had ever been there. As quickly as it all began, it was over and the monster was gone.
Describing a picture
This oil painting shows a country scene. It is a portrait of a group of schoolchildren on a Sunday school walk with their teacher. In the background is the sky and the open countryside and on the right is a country cottage. The teacher is in the foreground in the centre surrounded by her pupils. The children are enjoying themselves and some of them are holding flowers, so it may be springtime. The colours are pale shades of blue, green, red and brown. The painting looks very natural.
This picture shows many strange shapes and objects. I can see swans on a smooth lake but they have the reflection of elephants in the lake. The lake is surrounded by a rocky landscape and unusual trees with a clear blue sky. The artist has used bright colours in shades of blue, brown and yellow. This painting makes me feel curious about how Dali came up with the idea.
( cubism) This painting is called‘ Bread, Fruit and Table’. Pablo Picasso painted it in 1908. It shows a table with a bowl of fruit and some bread on it. The painter uses dark, green and bright yellow colours. The painting makes me feel calm.( surrealism) This painting is called‘ The Human Condition’. Rene Magritte painted it in 1935. It shows a painting within a painting. In the background I can see the ocean. The painter uses a few plain colours. The painting makes me feel sad and lonely.
Art as a way to express oneself
Some people like to draw and paint things rather than write about them. It is easier to express feelings through art, rather than writing about them or talking about them. Some people prefer to draw and paint about their lives. I think they are many ways to express yourself and show your emotions. People should try different ways to express themselves.
A story about a ghost
It was a dark, stormy afternoon during the school holidays and Ann and Tim were watching TV at home, feeling bored.‘ I know, Ann! Let’ s go to the castle.’ Tim said excitedly.‘ There’ s a good museum there.’
It was late afternoon when they arrived and they were the only visitors.‘ Ooh, it’ s a bit scary in here!’ Ann said as they were walking slowly through the cold, dark rooms of exhibits.‘ Don’ t be silly,’ Tim replied.
Suddenly, Tim noticed an interesting exhibit which was a model of a man wearing a very old costume. He stood next to him and Ann took a photo of them with her digital camera, but then when she looked at the screen she couldn’ t believe her eyes! Tim was standing alone in the photo ― the man wasn’ t next to him! Then, they looked up and saw that the model wasn’ t in the room any more! It had disappeared!
Ann and Tim ran quickly back to the reception desk. They were terrified! They told the lady there their story.‘ Ah-ha! That wasn’ t a model, that was Henry, the museum ghost,’ she said, smiling. Tim looked at Ann. She was completely white!
Technology
Technology refers to all things electronic or digital which have been made for practical purposes in order to improve our lives. I think we will learn about different kinds of technology and how they affect our lives.
