Talking about art and exhibitions
Bob Dylan Artwork on show in Cardiff Bay
Watch the video and practise the following conversation either recommending or not the exhibition.
Conversation 1: Recommending an exhibition
I went to an exhibition in Cardiff Bay last Saturday.
Oh, did you? what was it?
It was a collection of graphics by Bob Dylan.
Oh really? It sounds quite interesting. What was it like?
Quite good, actually, the drawings were really great./I didn't think much of it myself.
So, would you recommend it, then?
Yes, you should go and see it./ No, I'd give it a miss, if I were you- unless you really like that sort of thing, of course.
Other expressions you can use:
It's OK if you are into that sort of thing./It's a must/ I really recommend it/it's well worth a visit
It's not worth the entrance fee/ It's not really my cup of tea/It's not my kind of thing/I just don't understand this stuff

The Carder method can teach anyone to paint
David Wilson explains how the Carder method can teach anyone to paint.
Listen to him and complete the gaps.
Painting is nothing more than (1)……………………….paint, (2) ........................... the colours, and reproducing them on (3)…………………………………. .
But for a naked eye and the untrained hand that’s difficult to do.
What makes the Carder Method so different?
You don’t have to trust your own judgment when you mix and apply colours to the canvas instead you (4)…………………………………………… called color checker
It’s a device that duplicates the color you see in your still life into mix paint on a palette.
Anyone can do this simply, hold on your color checker and ask yourself some very simple questions, like which color is more red or darker, then (5) ……………………………………. colour accordingly.
Simple colour mixing rules tell you exactly what to do.
But you are saying to yourself, how do I (6) ……………………………………………..of the subject to be painted, if I can’t draw? You don’t need any drawing ability or knowledge of mathematics.
With the small end of the proportional divider you (7)……………………………………………………….you want to draw then flip the proportional divider over and the large end tells you where to place points on your canvas.
After you’ve pointed enough points, it’s just a matter of connecting them.
