english project 2

an art exhibition, a project for English

Our school has planned an art exhibition in the library, and you have been selected as guides. You will have to be prepared to describe one or two pictures to visitors. We may have someone recording your presentation in the library!





tasks

  1. Work in pairs.
  2. Decide which picture(s) from the video above you are going to describe, and tell your teacher.
  3. Get ready for your presentation. You will have to talk about:
  • the name of the picture and the artist,
  • what colours the artist has used,
  • what you can see in the painting (people, animals, a river, etc.),
  • what the weather is like,
  • what people are wearing,
  • what people are doing,
  • how people look like (feelings).

evaluation

At the end of the project, you will be evaluated by your teacher with this evaluation form.



resources
  1. To practice pronunciation, watch these videos about clothes, feelings, and the weather.





  2. Do you need help with the name of the artist? Choose from this list and find out who your painter is. You can use a searching engine like Google, or an online encyclopedia like Wikipedia, or you can try at the school library.
