Assignment - Seeing and Describing

     In this assignment you will be asked to simply describe what you see...the description can be in any form which you can create on a piece of paper...e.g., words, sentences, icons, drawings, etc.

     Below you see a bullet list. Clicking on one of these examples in this list will take you to a page where an image will be presented to you. If all goes as intended, here is what will happen. On entering the page you will see a gray rectangle for about a second. Then an image, either of a natural scene or a piece of art will be presented for about 5 seconds. Look at the image during this interval. Then, the gray rectangle should appear again. Now record your observations on a sheet of paper. (Use a separate sheet for each example and mark on the sheet the example number.) When you have finished, go back to this page by clicking on the phrase Seeing and Describing which will appear at the bottom of the page. Then go on to do another example.

     BUT, things go slightly differently for those examples marked as Scene + . In this case, after you have finished recording your description, you will go on to the next image that can be reached from that page. This will be a related image. After viewing it, revise your original description of the first image if it is appropriate to do so. (Do not describe the second image.) Use a different color pen or some means to distinguish between your original observations and the revisions. Then come back to this page by clicking on the phrase Seeing and Describing.

       Try to do all of the examples but if, for some reason, you cannot, then at least do Example 1 and one of Examples 3 and 4 and one of Examples 3 and 6. The Table below allows you to choose either a small or large version. If you have a 17 inch or better screen, then the large version is the appropriate one to choose.
