👉 A representation of anything (as a person, a landscape, a building) upon canvas, paper, or other surface, by drawing, painting, printing, photography, etc.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a very good definition from the dictionary, isn't it? Let's break that down piece by piece. "Picture" – it's more than just something you see, you know. It’s about showing us something. Think of it like this: when you look at a photograph, or a painting on a wall, what are they doing? They're representing things! That means they’re creating a stand-in for the real thing – a person, a beautiful scene, a grand old building. The dictionary says “a representation,” and that's key. It’s like giving us an image of something. Now let’s look at how it’s made: "by drawing, painting, printing, photography…etc." – That means pictures can be created in lots of different ways! You can draw with a pencil, paint with brushes and colors, print them out on paper, or even capture them with a camera. So, to put it simply, a picture is like a little window into something else. It’s an artist's way of sharing their vision - wouldn’t you agree? Does that make sense, class? Do you have any questions about what we just covered?
