DESCRIBING A PICTURE

YOU CAN DO IT IN AN EASY WAY FOLLOWING THE STEPS AND USING

STRUCTURES YOU KNOW

LET´S HAVE AN EXAMPLE

THIS PAINTING IS the saint dinner by Leonardo Da Vinci

This painting was made by Leonardo Da Vinci. It was painted in ……. And it is in Milán in a cathedral.

He wanted to represent the moment in which Jesus Christ is betrayed by Judas.

HOW CAN WE DESCRIBE IT? ´LET´S SEE…..

WHAT WE CAN SEE

AT THE TOP

AT THE BOTTOM

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE

ON THE LEFT ON THE RIGHT

AT THE BACK

AT THE FRONT

LET´S START WRITINGIN THE MIDDLE• INTHE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE

WE CAN SEE THE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST. HE IS SITTING DOWN WITH HIS HANDS OPEN ON THE TABLE. WE CAN SEE THAT HE IS QUIET AND SEEMS TO BE SMILING.HE IS WEARING RED AND BLUE CLOTHES.

• IN MY OPINION HE IS JOINING ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE.

LEFT ON THE LEFT THERE ARE SIX MEN

LOOKING AT JESUS CHRIST. THERE ARE THREE STANDING UP. The first man is wearing dark green clothes. He is laughing. The following man wearing red clothes is putting his hand on the other man´s shoulder. The white haired man is expresing something with his hands open.

Close to the figure of Jesus Christ there are three men. One of them is lying on the table watching the rest of the group. The one with long, brown hair is sad with his eyes closed. The colours of their clothes are blue, black and dark red.

RIGHT

ON THE RIGHT THERE ARE SIX MEN SPEAKING AND SHOWING SURPRISE.

THEIR HANDS ARE REALLY MEANINGFUL. AND SO THEIR FACES ARE.THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED AND ARE ASKING FOR SOME EXPLANATIONS.

AT THE TOPAT THE BACK

• AT THE TOP THERE IS A CEILING DECORATED WITH BLACK SQUARES AND AT THE BACK THERE ARE THREE WINDOWS. THE LIGHT OF THE PAINTING IS GETTING INTO THE ROOM AND WE CAN SEE THE COUNTRYSIDE THROUGH THEM.

AT THE BOTTOMAT THE FRONT

• AT THE BOTTOM WE CAN SEE THE TABLE WITH THE WHITE TABLECLOTH AND THE FOOD THEY ARE SHARING . AT THE FRONT THERE IS A DECORATED SQUARE. IT DOESN´T LET US SEE IF JESUS CHRIST IS SITTING OR STANDING UP.

• WE CAN SEE THE MEN´S FEET WITH PART OF THEIR CLOTHES AND THE FLOOR OF THE ROOM.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING

• THE MEN ARE SPEAKING AND DISCUSSING ABOUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT. THEIR FACES ARE EXPRESSING SURPRISE, WORRY AND CONCERN.

• THE FIGURE OF JESUS CHRIST IS GIVING PEACE TO THE SCENE FROM THE MIDDLE-

MY OPINION

• I LIKE THE PAINTING BECAUSE THE ARTIST IS PLAYING WITH THE COLOURS : ON THE ONE HAND, WHITE, BLACK AND GREY IN THE FURNITURE AND WALLS AND ,ON THE OTHER HAND, GREEN, BLUE, RED AND LIGHT BROWN IN THE HUMAN PART.

• MOREOVER, I FANCY THE WAY HE MADE THE STRUCTURE: THREE SCENES INSIDE ONE- ONE GROUP OF MEN .. JESUS CHRIST.. THE OTHER GROUP OF MEN. IT MEANS BALANCE AMONG ALL PARTS.
