Christina Nichola

Write a descriptive essay (up to 350 words) about the below painting by Christina
Nichola :
Remember that descriptive essays describe a single thing – item, event, location, etc.

1. Engage all five of the senses – smell, sight, touch, taste and sound
2. Show versus tell (this is where describing comes into play – 3rd person is ideal for descriptive
   essays because effective description requires distance).
3. Linear if describing an event, crescendo effect when describing a person (gradual bubbling of the
   details)
4. Can use literary devices.
