“THE SHERLOCK HOLMES STRATEGY”

MYSTERY PAINTING – STEP 1

In this activity we’re going to use the “Sherlock Holmes” strategy to discover a mysterious painting …

Look at this picture. It’s part of a painting – the far right end. What kind of hypotheses or predictions can you make about this scene? What kind of evidence can you use to support your hypotheses? Make some notes. If you like, use the questions below to focus your attention.

 

 

 

 

·What kind of place is it?

·Where is it?

·What time is it?

·Is there anybody in this place? Who can it be? What can she/he be doing?

·How do you feel when you look at this place?

 When you think you’ve “exhausted” your imagination (for the time being!) and feel ready to look at another “piece” of this painting, click here.
