Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is pretty thorough, isn't it? Let's break it down piece by piece. "Pictures" – it’s more than just snapshots you might see. It’s about representation , that’s the key word here. Think of it like this: a picture shows us something else. It's like a window, but instead of looking out at the world, we look at a world created by someone! The dictionary says they can be made in lots of ways – “drawing, painting, printing, photography…” Let’s explore those: Drawing: Like sketching with pencil and paper, capturing an idea. Painting: Using colors to create a visual scene, bright and bold! Printing: Making copies of an image, spreading beauty to be told. Photography: Capturing light and moments, freezing time as it unfolds. So, whether it’s a portrait of a friend, a sweeping landscape wide, or even the building where we meet inside – all are pictures! They're ways artists and photographers use their skills to show us something beautiful, interesting, or meaningful. Does that make sense? Any questions about what "pictures" truly mean? Don’t be shy - let’s discuss!
