Link Art - Visualization 

During your visit to the National Art Gallery you had the opportunity to discuss some of the paintings to help you understand what the artist had created.

Using your knowledge look at the following painting taken from the exhibition and create a paragraph/story on the painting. Remember to use some VCOP techniques.

You should include in your response:

• who you think is in the picture
• what they might be thinking/feeling
• do you think the artist would have known them
• what smells would be in the picture
• what sounds might there be
• whose garden is it - a public or personal garden
• what time of the year it is
• and in which country might it have been created.

Do you like / dislike the picture ? - why ?
