1. 0:05Hello.
2. 0:05>> Hello.
3. 0:06>> My name is Andrea. I spell that A N D R
4. 0:11E A. What's your name?
5. 0:13>> My name is Rick. Nice to meet you.
6. 0:14>> Nice Rick. How do you spell your name?
7. 0:16>> Uh
8. 0:17R
9. 0:18>> Well done. Good.
10. 0:19>> Uh I
11. 0:20>> Nice.
12. 0:20>> C
13. 0:21>> Yeah.
14. 0:21>> And
15. 0:22uh K.
16. 0:23>> K. Fantastic.
17. 0:25Okay, Rick. I'm going to draw a picture
18. 0:28of an object. Any object that comes to
19. 0:31mind. Okay? [clears throat]
20. 0:32>> Okay.
21. 0:32>> for example, the most easy thing to draw
22. 0:35as well is a potato.
23. 0:37>> Of course.
24. 0:38>> Why not? Okay, this is my potato.
25. 0:41>> Mhm.
26. 0:41>> Um I want you to draw an object, any
27. 0:43object that you want. Okay? Don't think
28. 0:46too hard. Just go for it.
29. 0:49>> Um
30. 0:53Let me guess.
31. 0:55>> Is it a car?
32. 0:56>> It is.
33. 0:56>> Well done.
34. 0:57Very good. Looks like a beetle.
35. 0:59>> A beetle.
36. 1:00>> It's a very rounded car there.
37. 1:02So you
38. 1:03>> Ah, you like beetles.
39. 1:04Okay, good. Now, I want us to imagine we
40. 1:07are stranded on an island.
41. 1:10>> Okay.
42. 1:10>> Okay? [laughter] And [clears throat] we
43. 1:11have to talk about what our object can
44. 1:14do to help us survive on the island. So
45. 1:17for example, um with my potato, perhaps
46. 1:21I'm going to throw it at animals so that
47. 1:24I can capture them and kill them and eat
48. 1:26them. I have to survive after all, okay?
49. 1:29>> Um
50. 1:30also, I can throw it at the at the trees
51. 1:35to knock down coconuts.
52. 1:36>> Mhm. That's smart.
53. 1:37>> Uh which is a good idea. And maybe I can
54. 1:40draw a face on it and pretend it's my
55. 1:43friend. This is always good to have a
56. 1:45friend on an island. All right? So
57. 1:48that's my example. Tell me about your
58. 1:50car and being stranded on an island.
59. 1:53>> I think I will use my car to sleep in it
60. 1:56because in the night it's really cold
61. 1:58outside and I also think it's cold in
62. 2:00the on the island.
63. 2:01>> Uh-huh, it's good.
64. 2:02>> So, uh yeah, you can just sleep in the
65. 2:04car and then it's warmer inside of the
66. 2:06car than outside.
67. 2:07Uh
68. 2:08and I think what else would I use it
69. 2:11for?
70. 2:14Maybe to drive around the island.
71. 2:16>> Well, let's hope it's a big island.
72. 2:18Otherwise, it would be a very quick
73. 2:19drive.
74. 2:20>> Yeah, that's true. [laughter]
75. 2:21Because then we can just explore the
76. 2:23island and then you can see what is the
77. 2:26best part of the island and then you can
78. 2:27maybe live easy on that part than on
79. 2:29that part.
80. 2:30>> Ah, I like that. I like that. Let's go
81. 2:32search the island.
82. 2:33>> Yeah,
83. 2:35yeah. I think that that that kind of is
84. 2:37the best part.
85. 2:38>> Okay. Um the big question is like how
86. 2:40did you get a car on an island in the
87. 2:41first place?
88. 2:42>> Yeah, that's true. That's true.
89. 2:44>> That's that's another story. That's
90. 2:45another another story. Okay, that was
91. 2:48fun. I like that. All right, so I'm
92. 2:49going to show you this quote. Okay? It
93. 2:53says, "The more minimal the art, the
94. 2:57longer the explanation."
95. 2:59Okay? I want you to tell me whether you
96. 3:02agree or disagree with this statement
97. 3:04and why. So, for example,
98. 3:07I would say I disagree because the less
99. 3:11content in a in a picture, the less I
100. 3:14have to say. So, for me, I I also think
101. 3:17the opposite
102. 3:19because it doesn't inspire me
103. 3:22and there's nothing to say. What do you
104. 3:23think?
105. 3:24>> Um I think I agree with it
106. 3:28>> Mhm.
107. 3:28>> because if there are not really much
108. 3:33like things in the art
109. 3:35uh so it's more abstract abstract
110. 3:38>> abstract well done
111. 3:40>> then you can't really
112. 3:42explain the
113. 3:44the painting what what what they want to
114. 3:46tell you.
115. 3:47>> Okay.
116. 3:48>> So, I think
117. 3:49that it's then harder to
118. 3:52explain the painting.
119. 3:54>> Okay.
120. 3:55>> So I think then it's the story is going
121. 3:57to be longer.
122. 3:58>> Oh, all right. Oh, so we kind of have
123. 4:00different opinions there. All right. And
124. 4:02what's your opinion about art in
125. 4:04general, Rick?
126. 4:05>> I'm not really familiar with it.
127. 4:08Familiar, is that
128. 4:09>> You can say I don't know much about it.
129. 4:11>> Mhm, yeah, exactly. I don't know much
130. 4:14about art.
131. 4:15>> Nice.
132. 4:15>> Uh last week there was the first time in
133. 4:17my life that I went to a museum and
134. 4:19there was a lot of art.
135. 4:21>> Uh-huh.
136. 4:21>> And I thought it was really fun to go
137. 4:24there
138. 4:25for the first time. Yeah.
139. 4:27>> Ah, nice. So you were you enjoyed the
140. 4:29experience.
141. 4:29>> Yeah, I did. Yeah.
142. 4:30>> Very nice. So you said here, I thought
143. 4:33it was fun. So just remember with the
144. 4:35th, we have the th here. We need to
145. 4:37bring the tongue here.
146. 4:38>> Ah, I thought. Thought.
147. 4:40>> I thought.
148. 4:41>> I thought.
149. 4:42>> Uh don't worry about this one. This is
150. 4:43the same as before. So it's just the
151. 4:44change of this one. I thought.
152. 4:46>> I thought. I thought.
153. 4:47>> Very nice. I thought it was fun. Okay,
154. 4:49would you go to another art museum?
155. 4:51>> Mhm, maybe. Maybe sometime.
156. 4:53>> Maybe or maybe not.
157. 4:54>> Yeah.
158. 4:55>> Which which museum was it, by the way?
159. 4:56>> Mhm, I can't remember the name.
160. 4:58>> Ah, but in in Madrid.
161. 5:01>> Yeah, it was in Madrid. Yeah.
162. 5:02>> Okay, okay, very nice. All right, let's
163. 5:04take a look at this picture.
164. 5:06>> Yeah.
165. 5:07>> Um what do you see in this picture?
166. 5:10Describe it to me.
167. 5:11>> I see really much colors.
168. 5:13>> Uh-huh.
169. 5:15>> Uh
170. 5:15and I see that the painting is abstract.
171. 5:19>> Ah, you say abstract, very nice. Okay.
172. 5:23What makes this picture abstract?
173. 5:26>> Because there is not something realistic
174. 5:29in it and
175. 5:31it looks like it's just
176. 5:33Yeah, however the painting a little bit.
177. 5:36>> Okay. All right. Um
178. 5:38if we use the word abstract to describe
179. 5:41something, what would you say is the
180. 5:43description of the word abstract?
181. 5:45>> Mhm.
182. 5:48That really much color in it. I
183. 5:51think often, yeah, a lot of color.
184. 5:54Um, and that you can't see like
185. 5:58one realistic thing in it.
186. 6:00>> Okay, very good. I really like that's a
187. 6:02great description. Something that
188. 6:03doesn't have like one more one meaning
189. 6:06can can mean very things. Okay. Um,
190. 6:10we're going to come back to this word
191. 6:11abstract in a minute. But I want to have
192. 6:13another look at another word which I
193. 6:15think describes this picture
194. 6:17differently. Uh, the word is bold.
195. 6:20>> Okay.
196. 6:20>> What does bold mean?
197. 6:23>> Uh,
198. 6:24I don't know.
199. 6:25>> Okay. Do you want to have a guess? Look
200. 6:27at the picture. What do you think?
201. 6:28>> Um.
202. 6:33No, I really don't know.
203. 6:34>> Okay, don't worry. So, if I say, uh,
204. 6:37this picture is bold because the colors
205. 6:40are really deep and, um, loud. Uh,
206. 6:45they're they're really kind of
207. 6:46attractive colors. So, it's very bold.
208. 6:50They're really really nice colors and
209. 6:51and deep colors. What do you think now?
210. 6:54>> Um,
211. 6:56that it's really, uh, attracts your
212. 6:58attention really fast.
213. 7:00>> Very good, wonderful. Um, in fact, your
214. 7:03your jumper is quite bold today, I
215. 7:06think. We're in red. We're wearing bold
216. 7:08colors. Okay.
217. 7:09Use bold in a sentence to describe
218. 7:12something yourself.
219. 7:16I think that this painting is really
220. 7:19bold.
221. 7:20>> Okay, why?
222. 7:22>> Why is uh
223. 7:24because of the colors in the painting.
224. 7:27>> Okay, what colors are they that are
225. 7:28bold?
226. 7:28>> Um, the colors in the painting are
227. 7:31yellow
228. 7:32>> Mhm.
229. 7:32>> and red.
230. 7:33>> Very nice. So, they're nice deep colors.
231. 7:35Okay,
232. 7:36very good, very good. Okay, let me show
233. 7:39you another picture.
234. 7:41This one, perhaps, Uh,
235. 7:44might go with the previous word that you
236. 7:47had here. But, describe the picture,
237. 7:49Jimmy.
238. 7:50>> Um it's not abs- abstract.
239. 7:54>> Okay.
240. 7:55>> abstract
241. 7:55>> abstract
242. 7:56>> abstract
243. 7:57>> Uh-huh. Why is it Why is it not
244. 7:59abstract?
245. 8:00>> Because I can see something not like
246. 8:03literally realistic, but you can see
247. 8:06that it's a human, right?
248. 8:07>> Okay. Okay.
249. 8:08>> Um
250. 8:10And yeah, so I think it's realistic.
251. 8:13>> Okay. Describe what you see in the
252. 8:16picture.
253. 8:16>> I see someone who is
254. 8:19uh standing on his toes.
255. 8:22>> Good.
256. 8:23>> Uh and
257. 8:24>> toes does he have?
258. 8:25>> I think toes? I think like 12. 20.
259. 8:30>> Yeah, he has He has a lot of feet.
260. 8:31>> Yeah, like four feet that I can see now.
261. 8:33>> Uh-huh.
262. 8:34>> And uh he has
263. 8:36um
264. 8:37like you see that this is this is real
265. 8:40hands and this one. And the rest of it
266. 8:42are like
267. 8:44uh
268. 8:45maybe a moved a moved thing that I that
269. 8:48he did before.
270. 8:49>> Mhm.
271. 8:50>> The
272. 8:50Yeah, like Yeah, exactly. Maybe
273. 8:52something like that.
274. 8:53>> Very good.
275. 8:54>> Uh like that you see here another pose
276. 8:57that he did. So, yeah. I think uh
277. 9:00>> Okay. I like it. Good description. Good
278. 9:01description. Now, you said here that he
279. 9:03has four feet.
280. 9:05>> Yeah.
281. 9:05>> Okay. Now, if this was one, what do we
282. 9:09call it? One
283. 9:10>> feet
284. 9:11>> Is it feet or
285. 9:12>> foot
286. 9:13>> You're very close. It's a four-letter
287. 9:15word, but it has a different vowel.
288. 9:19>> Um
289. 9:20>> But, it's one
290. 9:23>> one foot
291. 9:24>> One foot. Very good. Okay. So, if it's
292. 9:27one foot and we want to make it plural,
293. 9:30it is two
294. 9:32>> feet
295. 9:33>> Almost.
296. 9:35>> feet
297. 9:36>> It's only got the four letters.
298. 9:40>> Uh two feet.
299. 9:42>> Feet, brilliant. So, what do we need to
300. 9:45do here to change it? Four
301. 9:47We have four feet.
302. 9:49>> Four foots or just four foots.
303. 9:53>> It's good foot is the word.
304. 9:55>> Ah, foot.
305. 9:56>> And then we make it plural is feet.
306. 9:59>> four feet.
307. 9:59>> four feet. Exactly. Okay. So, we don't
308. 10:02need the S because we already changing
309. 10:04the the word from a singular to plural.
310. 10:07>> Ah, yeah, exactly. Okay.
311. 10:08>> Yeah. Very good. Okay, so I'm going to
312. 10:10use the word here to describe this
313. 10:12myself as dramatic.
314. 10:15>> Mhm.
315. 10:15>> Dramatic. So, what's What does dramatic
316. 10:17mean?
317. 10:18>> Uh
318. 10:19like something is really um
319. 10:23dramatic
320. 10:24>> Have a look at the picture. What do you
321. 10:25think? How does it describe it?
322. 10:26>> Yeah, like uh
323. 10:29how do I describe that describe that?
324. 10:32Uh
325. 10:33like something is really
326. 10:35uh
327. 10:36really much much Yeah, a lot a lot of
328. 10:39it. Something that you do but then
329. 10:41really a lot of it.
330. 10:43>> Yeah, it's a lot. It's different. It's a
331. 10:44bit out there. It's changed. Nice, very
332. 10:47nice. Okay.
333. 10:49Very good. Can you use the word dramatic
334. 10:51in a sentence to describe
335. 10:54picture or something else?
336. 10:56>> Uh I think how you now act that that is
337. 10:59really
338. 11:00dramatic.
339. 11:02>> This is true. What would be a a show
340. 11:04with a dramatic act?
341. 11:06>> Um
342. 11:08when someone is crying uh about
343. 11:11something that is like
344. 11:14not that it and he or or she doesn't
345. 11:18have to cry about it.
346. 11:19>> There you go. So, really dramatic about
347. 11:21it.
348. 11:21>> They'll be so dramatic.
349. 11:22>> Yeah, exactly.
350. 11:24>> So, when we talk about art it's also
351. 11:26about dramatic pictures. That's
352. 11:27something quite different, quite out
353. 11:29there, quite that's quite a lot. Okay,
354. 11:31very good. Let me show you another
355. 11:34picture here
356. 11:35which is
357. 11:37a picture of a house and some garden and
358. 11:42some lovely colors.
359. 11:45How would you describe this picture?
360. 11:47>> I would describe this picture as
361. 11:51a picture where you where they used a
362. 11:53lot of blue in it.
363. 11:55>> Okay.
364. 11:55>> And a little bit red here but the house
365. 11:58you see here a lot of blue and the on
366. 12:00the ground is also blue.
367. 12:01>> Yeah.
368. 12:04>> And I think it's
369. 12:06abstract.
370. 12:07>> Nice.
371. 12:08>> Abstract but
372. 12:10then like realistic abstract.
373. 12:12>> And realistic as well. Very nice, very
374. 12:14nice.
375. 12:14>> So you can see something in in the in
376. 12:16the painting but
377. 12:18they used abstract.
378. 12:19>> Okay.
379. 12:20>> The abstract style, I guess.
380. 12:21>> All right, good. Well, let me use this
381. 12:24word. This is a word that I would use to
382. 12:27describe it. Atmospheric.
383. 12:30What do you think is the meaning of
384. 12:31atmospheric when we use this kind of
385. 12:33picture?
386. 12:34>> Like the at- atmosphere?
387. 12:36>> Okay, very nice. What else?
388. 12:39>> Um
389. 12:44>> What is the feeling of atmospheric?
390. 12:47>> Yeah, like that you can't really
391. 12:49Yeah, like
392. 12:52a bit blurry.
393. 12:53>> Okay, yeah, I like that. That's good.
394. 12:56Maybe quite romantic, I think. It's
395. 12:58soft and romantic and the colors merge.
396. 13:03Okay,
397. 13:03very nice.
398. 13:04All right, can you use the word
399. 13:06atmospheric to describe something,
400. 13:09please?
401. 13:10>> Ooh,
402. 13:13that's a difficult one.
403. 13:15Uh
404. 13:18the
405. 13:21air, the sky is really atmo-
406. 13:26>> atmo- atmospheric.
407. 13:27>> spheric.
408. 13:28>> Very good. Try again. Atmospheric.
409. 13:30>> atmospheric
410. 13:31>> Very nice. Oh, yes, in the evenings when
411. 13:33the sun is coming down.
412. 13:35>> maybe when you have the the sunset and
413. 13:37then you see something like orange and
414. 13:40yeah.
415. 13:40>> Yeah,
416. 13:41that's what we have in here with the
417. 13:42oranges, the reds, and the blue. It's
418. 13:45all there. Very nice. Okay.
419. 13:48Let's take a look at the next picture
420. 13:50which I think is a really good one.
421. 13:52>> Okay.
422. 13:53>> Related to the previous word we talked
423. 13:55about.
424. 13:56>> Ooh.
425. 13:56>> Okay. So, abstract.
426. 13:59>> Mhm.
427. 14:00>> Why and how would you describe this
428. 14:02picture as abstract?
429. 14:03>> Uh
430. 14:04I would describe this picture as
431. 14:06abstract because it's not really
432. 14:09realistic and you see a lot of colors.
433. 14:12>> Okay. Good. Is there a particular
434. 14:15picture here?
435. 14:17>> Mhm.
436. 14:20I can see one.

439. 14:24>> can't see it.
440. 14:25>> No.
441. 14:25>> Yeah, exactly. This is kind of part of
442. 14:27what abstract is.
443. 14:28>> Yeah.
444. 14:28>> Uh
445. 14:29you're unable to make a picture out of
446. 14:32it. Okay. Um can you use the word
447. 14:34abstract now yourself to describe some
448. 14:37art or something different? Something
449. 14:39where you cannot describe it
450. 14:40particularly.
451. 14:41>> About this About this picture?
452. 14:43>> that you would like using the word
453. 14:45abstract.
454. 14:45>> Ah, okay. Um
455. 14:49This picture is really abstract because
456. 14:52I can't see something in the painting.
457. 14:56>> Okay.
458. 14:57>> Or in the picture.
459. 14:58>> Okay. And for what Why can you not see
460. 15:00it?
461. 15:01>> Uh because I don't see something
462. 15:03realistic
463. 15:04>> Mhm.
464. 15:04>> in the picture.
465. 15:06>> Okay. Good. Well done.
466. 15:08All right. Let's take a look at uh the
467. 15:11next one. I think you're going to like
468. 15:12this one. This is an interesting one.
469. 15:16>> Ooh.
470. 15:16>> Take Ooh, yes. Take a look at that
471. 15:18picture. Now, tell Tell what you see.
472. 15:20What do you think you see happening?
473. 15:22>> I see a man is making not a picture, no.
474. 15:27Not a picture, but he is looking at a
475. 15:29woman that is posing on a rock
476. 15:32>> Mhm.
477. 15:32>> in a a lake.
478. 15:34>> Okay.
479. 15:35>> I see a
480. 15:37a a swan.
481. 15:38>> A swan.
482. 15:39>> A swan.
483. 15:40>> Very nice.
484. 15:40>> I see a really beautiful swan.
485. 15:43Uh,
486. 15:43and I see someone
487. 15:47in a little boat
488. 15:49uh, in the middle of the lake.
489. 15:51>> So, what is this What is this telling us
490. 15:53this story? What do you think?
491. 15:55>> Ooh.
492. 15:58Uh, maybe like something romantic
493. 16:00because of this the swan and the woman
494. 16:02and the and the man.
495. 16:04>> Okay, swan.
496. 16:05>> Swan.
497. 16:06>> Swan. Very nice. Okay. So, if I give you
498. 16:08this word, ambiguous.
499. 16:12This is Do you know this word?
500. 16:13Ambiguous.
501. 16:14>> Never heard about it.
502. 16:15>> Think about this word related to this
503. 16:16picture. What do you think it means?
504. 16:18Ambiguous.
505. 16:21>> Uh, like
506. 16:24ambitious and
507. 16:26like No, I don't know. I don't think so
508. 16:29that it is.
509. 16:29>> Okay.
510. 16:30>> No, I don't know.
511. 16:30>> It's It's very much describes what you
512. 16:32said. So, this picture is ambiguous
513. 16:35because it can have many meanings, and
514. 16:38in this case, there is no concrete idea.
515. 16:41>> Mhm.
516. 16:42>> So,
517. 16:43it's a bit ambiguous because there's no
518. 16:45defined picture, but we can see there's
519. 16:47a man, we can see there's a woman,
520. 16:49>> Yeah.
521. 16:49>> we can see there's a swan, but what does
522. 16:51it really mean? What is the the story
523. 16:54behind this picture?
524. 16:55>> Yeah, I agree.
525. 16:55>> We don't know. So, it's it's ambiguous.
526. 16:57Okay? So, there's no clearly defined
527. 16:59answer there. So, use ambiguous in your
528. 17:03own sentence.
529. 17:04>> Mhm.
530. 17:08The lesson that I had today, I really
531. 17:10didn't get it get get something about
532. 17:12it, and I think it it was really
533. 17:15ambiguous.
534. 17:17>> Ah, very good. Very good. I hope that's
535. 17:19not what you're talking about our lesson
536. 17:21today.
537. 17:21>> No, of course not.
538. 17:22>> But you're right. If a lesson is
539. 17:24ambiguous, it means there's no real
540. 17:25concrete evidence. Okay. Wonderful. And
541. 17:30just to confirm here, we talked about
542. 17:32this plural and singular here. It's the
543. 17:34same for this. So you said a women,
544. 17:36but how many is women?
545. 17:38>> Uh
546. 17:39multiply
547. 17:40>> Exactly. Yes. So
548. 17:42>> So it's a woman.
549. 17:43>> A woman, very good. A woman. Nice.
550. 17:45>> Okay.
551. 17:46>> Okay. We are nearly finished.
552. 17:50And we have another image here.
553. 17:52>> Okay.
554. 17:52>> What do you see happening in this
555. 17:54picture?
556. 17:54>> Uh I see a boy and a girl kissing each
557. 17:58other.
558. 17:58>> Okay.
559. 17:59>> Uh
560. 18:00but with a mask on the face because of
561. 18:03COVID, I guess.
562. 18:04>> Of course. Yes.
563. 18:05>> Um
564. 18:07Yeah, and I maybe
565. 18:10this like the
566. 18:12right side of the
567. 18:14picture is a little bit dark
568. 18:15>> Okay.
569. 18:16>> because it's not a not a it was not a
570. 18:19good time to have in COVID.
571. 18:23>> Very true.
572. 18:23>> So maybe that's why this is a little bit
573. 18:26dark. And here you see like something
574. 18:29like the sun, maybe.
575. 18:30>> Okay, the sun.
576. 18:31>> The sun.
577. 18:32>> Very nice. Okay.
578. 18:34>> Yeah.
579. 18:34>> Yeah, it's it's a good picture, isn't
580. 18:35it? I think it really describes a kind
581. 18:37of a nice moment here.
582. 18:38>> Mhm. Yeah, exactly.
583. 18:40>> in the with the masks.
584. 18:41>> Mhm.
585. 18:42>> Okay, so to use this word intimate to
586. 18:45describe this picture,
587. 18:47>> Uh
588. 18:47>> what do you think you we are saying?
589. 18:49>> Maybe the boy and the girl are intimate.
590. 18:53>> Intimate?
591. 18:54>> Intimate.
592. 18:55>> Intimate. Mhm. Okay. And why would we
593. 18:57describe the painting as intimate?
594. 19:00>> Because they are kissing each other.
595. 19:02>> Exactly. Yes, it's something quite
596. 19:03sensual,
597. 19:06but also a bit romantic, like we said
598. 19:08before. Yeah. Okay, so very nice. So can
599. 19:11you use intimate in your own sentence?
600. 19:14>> Mhm.
601. 19:18>> The
602. 19:19the couple around now on the other side
603. 19:24on the street
604. 19:25>> Yes.
605. 19:26>> are really intimate
606. 19:28intimate with each other.
607. 19:29>> Oh, and what are they doing? Do we dare
608. 19:31ask?
609. 19:32>> no.
610. 19:33>> [laughter]
611. 19:34>> Okay, don't tell me. Don't tell me.
612. 19:35We'll take that, but so it's intimate.
613. 19:37>> Yeah, intimate.
614. 19:38>> Intimate, very nice. We don't need to
615. 19:40say eight here. We just say intimate.
616. 19:42Okay? Very nice. All right. Now, the
617. 19:45last word I want to use you have used
618. 19:48yourself is realistic.
619. 19:50>> Mhm.
620. 19:51>> So, can you describe a painting that you
621. 19:54think is realistic?
622. 19:56>> Describe a painting.
623. 19:58>> What would you expect to see in it?
624. 20:00>> Um
625. 20:02okay. I I see a a house in front of me.
626. 20:06>> Mhm.
627. 20:07>> And
628. 20:08the roof of the house is in fire. So,
629. 20:11the
630. 20:12>> on fire
631. 20:12>> the house is
632. 20:13>> on fire
633. 20:14>> on fire
634. 20:15>> only the roof.
635. 20:16>> Okay.
636. 20:17>> And you see a family,
637. 20:20two children and two parents
638. 20:22>> All right.
639. 20:23>> running out of the front door.
640. 20:26>> So, yeah. This is not a very happy
641. 20:27painting.
642. 20:28>> [laughter]
643. 20:28>> No.
644. 20:30Yeah.
645. 20:32That's can be in real life. That can
646. 20:35happen in real life. So, I think that is
647. 20:38a realistic
648. 20:40picture of a real
649. 20:40>> Exactly. Yes, you can see it all the
650. 20:43details. It looks real. It's a life a
651. 20:46life picture. Okay, wonderful. Well
652. 20:49done.
653. 20:50Right. Now, to have a practice of these
654. 20:53words that we've just been using, okay?
655. 20:56I'm going to give you this
656. 20:58activity sheet and it says, "Read the
657. 21:01following definitions and fill the gap
658. 21:05with the correct adjective, okay? The
659. 21:08first one has been done for you. So,
660. 21:10we're going to use these words that
661. 21:12we've looked at already. So, abstract,
662. 21:14bold, dramatic, atmospheric, ambiguous,
663. 21:18intimate, and realistic. Okay, so the
664. 21:20first one says,
665. 21:22"The
666. 21:22colors are very bright, strong, and
667. 21:25clear." So, the word that goes in there
668. 21:27is bold.
669. 21:29So, here you have your pencil. You can
670. 21:31write on the sheet and let me know when
671. 21:33you have finished.
672. 21:34>> Yeah.
673. 21:35>> Okay.
674. 21:44>> [music]
675. 21:45>> Okay, how are you getting on, Rick?
676. 21:47>> Uh
677. 21:49Yes, I'm done.
678. 21:50>> Yes?
679. 21:51>> Yeah, I'm ready.
680. 21:52>> Fantastic. All right, why don't you read
681. 21:54out the sentences for me from number
682. 21:56two? And then let's talk about your
683. 21:58answers and see if they're correct.
684. 21:59>> Yeah, should I read it?
685. 22:01>> Yes, read the whole sentence.
686. 22:02>> Okay, uh if a painting is I have in the
687. 22:05gap realistic, it's contains a lot of
688. 22:09existing action.
689. 22:11>> Okay, existing action, so that is real.
690. 22:14I think that sounds good. Well done.
691. 22:16>> Mhm, thank you.
692. 22:17Um if a atmo- atmospheric
693. 22:22if it's it it is
694. 22:25>> if it's atmospheric
695. 22:27>> if it's atmospheric, a painting creates
696. 22:31a special mood such a feeling of romance
697. 22:34and mystery.
698. 22:36>> Ooh, very good. Now, do you think it's
699. 22:38atmospheric? Yes, I think so. Could be
700. 22:40maybe intimate, but let's see. Let's
701. 22:42see.
702. 22:43>> Um
703. 22:44abstract painting shows an artist's
704. 22:47feeling or
705. 22:49thoughts through shapes and colors, but
706. 22:53a realistic painting shows real-life
707. 22:56objects or events.
708. 22:59>> Very good. You you realistic again
709. 23:01there. And, abstract, did you say?
710. 23:03>> Yeah, abstract.
711. 23:04>> Right, okay.
712. 23:05>> Then, five. It is abstract
713. 23:09uh
714. 23:10the meaning of the work isn't clear.
715. 23:13It's open to interpretation.
716. 23:16>> Interpretation.
717. 23:17>> Interpretation.
718. 23:18>> Very nice. Okay, now we've used abstract
719. 23:21already, haven't we?
720. 23:22>> Yes, we did.
721. 23:23>> So, is there another word on here that
722. 23:25you think means the same?
723. 23:27>> Um
724. 23:28um
725. 23:29biguous. Ambiguous.
726. 23:31>> Ambiguous, excellent. Correct. That's
727. 23:33what I'd say. You have number five would
728. 23:35be ambiguous, very nice.
729. 23:37>> Then, six. Uh
730. 23:39um intimate painting shows private
731. 23:42moments in someone's life.
732. 23:44>> Very nice, very nice. Did we have bold?
733. 23:47>> Uh yes, in the first
734. 23:49>> first one, of course.
735. 23:50>> Yeah, in the first one.
736. 23:51>> All right, fantastic. So, you're
737. 23:53comfortable with the meaning of each of
738. 23:55those.
739. 23:55>> Mhm.
740. 23:56>> No, I'm good.
741. 23:57Okay, for this last activity, okay?
742. 24:01You're a a guide working at a museum.
743. 24:05>> Okay.
744. 24:05>> Right? This is good experience for you,
745. 24:07cuz you've already been to a museum now.
746. 24:09>> Yeah.
747. 24:10>> [laughter]
748. 24:10>> Okay, so you can be the expert now.
749. 24:12>> Mhm.
750. 24:13>> Your job is to describe your museum's
751. 24:16paintings.
752. 24:17>> Okay.
753. 24:17>> Right?
754. 24:19Um you're going to use the language here
755. 24:22to describe them, okay? And, you're
756. 24:24going to tell your the people that are
757. 24:26visiting, all right? What type of art it
758. 24:30is, and why it's considered to be that
759. 24:33type of art.
760. 24:34>> Okay.
761. 24:35>> You're going to use the images um that
762. 24:38I've given you here, that you can use
763. 24:40again, right? And, you'll have a maximum
764. 24:43of five minutes
765. 24:44>> Okay.
766. 24:45>> to prepare
767. 24:46your speech, so your idea of being the
768. 24:49guide, right? You're going to then uh
769. 24:52present your guide your speech to me uh
770. 24:56as one of your visitors to your museum.
771. 24:58>> About one painting or about all of the
772. 25:00>> All of the paintings. Well, the most
773. 25:01important thing is that you need to use
774. 25:04all of the words, okay?
775. 25:05>> Ah, okay.
776. 25:06>> Right? So, for example, um I have
777. 25:08another picture here just as an example,
778. 25:11all right? If I was to use this one as
779. 25:13the guide, I would say, "In this
780. 25:15painting, you will see workers in a
781. 25:17field in the 18th century." All right?
782. 25:21>> Um it shows us what it was like to be
783. 25:23working and to be a working family, um
784. 25:27and therefore it is a realistic painting
785. 25:29of a situation in the 18th century.
786. 25:31>> Mhm, okay.
787. 25:32>> Okay?
788. 25:33>> Yeah.
789. 25:33>> All right, so um I'm going to give you
790. 25:35some time to prepare.
791. 25:37>> Mhm.
792. 25:37>> Um you need to be able to use all of the
793. 25:40words
794. 25:41uh with the paintings in your own style,
795. 25:43okay?
796. 25:43>> Okay, yeah, that's okay.
797. 25:45>> All right, take your time um to prepare
798. 25:47your speech, and then we'll go through
799. 25:49it later.

842. 27:04>> Woo, that's true. Very true. Okay.
843. 27:09>> Then this painting is really bold
844. 27:12because of the fair colors.
845. 27:13>> Mhm.
846. 27:14>> Uh, and I think it's also abstract
847. 27:17because here's also not a a
848. 27:20a a
849. 27:21concrete meaning in the picture.
850. 27:23>> Mhm, okay. [clears throat]
851. 27:25Do we know is there supposed to be a
852. 27:28particular story behind this
853. 27:30or
854. 27:31>> Mhm, no.
855. 27:32>> Uh-huh, so because it's abstract, what
856. 27:34does that mean I have to do when I look
857. 27:36at the picture?
858. 27:37>> that you can fill in your own opinion.
859. 27:40>> Oh, okay. Because I feel like I see a
860. 27:43bird or something in here.
861. 27:44>> Yeah, that is yeah, if you say say it
862. 27:47like that then I can also
863. 27:49>> You can see a bird?
864. 27:50>> No, not really. But like every everyone
865. 27:53opinions is different, so
866. 27:54>> Oh, okay.
867. 27:55>> it's just like really your own feeling.
868. 27:58>> Oh, I like it. I like it. This is a nice
869. 28:00one. It's very bold.
870. 28:01>> Yeah.
871. 28:01>> For sure.
872. 28:03>> Then this painting. This painting is
873. 28:05really ambi- ambiguous
874. 28:08because there is not a concrete meaning
875. 28:11in the painting.
876. 28:12>> Mhm.
877. 28:13Wow, um
878. 28:15Okay, yes, because I don't understand
879. 28:17what's happening here.
880. 28:18>> No, me neither.
881. 28:19>> Okay.
882. 28:20>> [laughter]
883. 28:21>> Okay, this is good. This is good. Um,
884. 28:24can you describe what is ambiguous about
885. 28:26this?
886. 28:26>> Um, because there you see a lot of
887. 28:30a lot of realistic things
888. 28:32>> Mhm.
889. 28:32>> but there's not like a really meaning in
890. 28:35the picture, so that's the reason that
891. 28:36it's
892. 28:37uh, ambiguous.
893. 28:38>> Okay, so there could be many meanings,
894. 28:41right?
895. 28:42Yeah, I like it. This is an interesting
896. 28:44picture.
897. 28:45>> Yeah, it is.
898. 28:45>> Okay.
899. 28:48>> Then this painting uh, is really
900. 28:50realistic because you see two people
901. 28:53kissing.
902. 28:53>> Yes.
903. 28:54>> And the people are being intimate with
904. 28:57each other.
905. 28:58>> Uh-huh, this is very nice.
906. 28:59>> Because they are kissing with each
907. 29:01other.
908. 29:01>> Uh-huh, this seems quite modern as well
909. 29:03as a picture I guess being taken in the
910. 29:05last couple of years.
911. 29:07Good.
912. 29:08>> Yeah, that's true.
913. 29:09>> Okay, so this is realistic, okay.
914. 29:12All right.
915. 29:14>> Then the last one.
916. 29:16This painting is really
917. 29:19atmospheric.
918. 29:20>> Nice. It's beautiful.
919. 29:23>> But at the same time you also can see
920. 29:26something realistic in it.
921. 29:27>> Uh-huh.
922. 29:28>> Because you can see
923. 29:30a house
924. 29:32and here the streets and here a little
925. 29:34bit of the garden.
926. 29:35>> Yes.
927. 29:36>> So it is a little bit abstract and
928. 29:39atmospheric, but it's at the same time
929. 29:41also a little bit realistic.
930. 29:44>> Okay, so atmospheric, not necessarily
931. 29:46abstract. Yeah,
932. 29:47atmospheric.
933. 29:48>> Yeah.
934. 29:48>> But what is that what is atmospheric
935. 29:50about it?
936. 29:51>> Because of the really
937. 29:54beautiful colors
938. 29:56Yeah. Because of the colors.
939. 29:58>> Because of the colors.
940. 29:59>> And about the style in the painting.
941. 30:01>> Very nice. Okay, wonderful.
942. 30:04And is that everything?
943. 30:06>> That is everything.
944. 30:07>> Wow, you have such an amazing collection
945. 30:09in your museum.
946. 30:09>> Yes, yes.
947. 30:10>> Fantastic.
948. 30:11>> Thank you.
949. 30:11>> Yeah, thank you for talking me through
950. 30:13these different paintings.
951. 30:14>> Yes, of course.
952. 30:15>> That was really nice. Thank you.
953. 30:16>> Mhm.
954. 30:17>> Okay, well done. Thank you.
955. 30:19>> Thank you. Thank [laughter] you.
956. 30:20>> You have learned a lot about art today.
957. 30:22>> I did, I did.
958. 30:24>> Okay, I just want to mention two small
959. 30:28errors that we can check. So you
960. 30:30mentioned two pictures
961. 30:33are bold because of the fell colors.
962. 30:36What do you mean by fell?
963. 30:39>> Uh
964. 30:40>> What are you describing here?
965. 30:41>> Oh, maybe that's not English.
966. 30:44>> Well, it might be, but that's
967. 30:45>> Like that the colors are really
968. 30:48fell.
969. 30:49I don't know the word for it.
970. 30:51>> Can you describe what you mean by fell?
971. 30:53>> Mhm.
972. 30:55Like yellow and red are fell colors.
973. 30:57>> Oh, and and fell is Are you describing
974. 31:00here the the season? Like at a specific
975. 31:04time of year?
976. 31:05>> No. I I mean like
977. 31:07the
978. 31:08that it is a really strong color.
979. 31:10>> Okay. Okay. Strong colors. This is
980. 31:12perfect because of the strong colors,
981. 31:13okay? So, in this case, fell is not
982. 31:17an adjective in this case, okay?
983. 31:20I was wondering if you were trying to
984. 31:22use fall,
985. 31:23the autumn, because autumn colors are
986. 31:25red, orange, and yellow.
987. 31:27>> No, it's not.
988. 31:27>> Okay. So, strong colors. Perfect.
989. 31:29Perfect. And I saw on some of these, not
990. 31:32all of them, that you had written
991. 31:34the word painting.
992. 31:35>> Mhm.
993. 31:36>> But I see it's correct here. But I just
994. 31:38wanted to check that you have the A and
995. 31:40I because in some you had p i n t i n g.
996. 31:45>> Oh, okay.
997. 31:45>> So, yes, you're correct here, painting.
998. 31:47Just have to keep that consistent. Okay?
999. 31:50All right. Fantastic. Well done.
1000. 31:52>> Yeah, thank you.
1001. 31:53>> Thank you for coming to class. I'll see
1002. 31:54you next time.
1003. 31:55>> Thank you for the lesson. Bye-bye.
1004. 31:56>> Bye-bye.
