2. Describe the process of drawing or painting. What tools do we use to express ourselves?
Suggested answer.
You take a blank sheet of paper, some paints, a brush, you mix some colours. Some vague lines appear. You are creating a miracle, a story as a writer, going from the past to the future. You are creating the world of your own imagination. (Some works of different schools of painting are being shown).
