I am terribly sorry for uploading the pictures soooo late, but I´ve had an extremely long day and only got back to my apartment about half an hour ago (it´s 11.30 right now) - Prof. Windischbauer and I were talking about tomorrow´s meeting.... it´s going to be quite interesting!
But, back to business. Here are the tasks that you can choose from:
1) Look at the pictures below and pick one of them. Then describe what you can see on the picture in as much detail as possible! Use there is/there are/there isn´t/aren´t ... AND describe details of the picture using adjectives, colours, and so on.
2) Write a narrative (= story) about one of the events, things you can see on the pictures. You must think of a title, and decide if you want to create a romantic, thrilling, horror or a nice story. (titles like: "The day Billy broke through the ice", or "The snowstorm", "My ski trip disaster", ...) As you can see, the paintings are mostly from the Middle Ages, so the time you should write in should be the PAST TENSE!
The story OR the description should be AT LEAST 200 words - and here are the pictures:
Pic I: A winter landscape by Fridel
(example for description of pic I: There is a man with a young child who is holding a scythe (Sense). He is walking towards his house, past the frozen pond. Next to him, there is a little dark brown dog, running along his left side, barking after the little boy in front of them with a sledge....so, try to use details, ok?)
Picture 2: Avercamp - a masterpiece!
Picture 3: Pieter Bruegel - Landscape with iceskaters and a birdtrap - another masterpiece!
(example beginning for an adventure story for pic 3: It had been a cold night and many people were out on the frozen river that day, when Billy decided, he also wanted to go ice skating. So, he took his skates, told his mum he was leaving and left the house. ... Suddenly, the ice underneath him cracked and he fell in - the water was icy and he felt the pain in his chest (Brustkorb) like pins and needles. What could he do?...)
Picture 4: a more modern version of a winter landscape - for an adventure story perhaps?
Picture 5: Another modern, more child like depiction of a winter landscape...:
There you go, that´s it... pick one of the pictures and do one of the two tasks above - of course, you can do 2 tasks as well - and you can also choose several pictures, too!Pic I: A winter landscape by Fridel

All the best, concentrate on writing your text and have fun! I´m really looking forward to seeing your stories or descriptions - they should be finished by Tuesday, I would like to give you some feedback BEFORE Christmas!
