Unit 7 · Epigraph
"A twenty-eight-second look at the Night Watch is not really a look at all. It is closer, structurally, to a selfie."
Objectives
What you'll be able to do
- Use verbs of perception + object + bare infinitive / gerund with the correct nuance (complete action vs. in progress).
- Convert perception structures to the passive (He was seen to leave).
- Deploy at least eight items of art vocabulary and eight colour idioms.
- Discuss what we actually see when we look at a 'masterpiece', without gallery clichés.
