1. OBJECTIVE – Describing paintings using adjectives and prepositions to locate objects in an image.

In this exercise I will talk about the work of Mark Tenant and a recent exhibition at Espacio 75 in Madrid and the work of the Belgian painter Micheal Borreman.  

We will talk about using prepositions of place \ above, on top of, below etc.. and generally locating objects in an image. We will discuss the materials used \ oil paint, acrylic, canvas. The style – figurative, abstract, expressionist etc.

The INSPIRATION for the work – What era \ epoca\ do they reflect? Are they sombre \ triste\ or poppy ? What colours does the artist use?

2. OBJECTIVE – Making comparisons by using connectors WHEREAS, WHILE or HOWEVER .
