7. Match the headings (A-F) with the paragraphs (1-4). There are two extra headings.

1)
Art or craftsmanship?
Are photographers artists or only craftspeople? What is the difference? A craftsperson creates useful objects by hand and then sells them. An artist creates things just to express emotions, entertain or tell a story. But is it really so simple?

Answer D Two definitions

2)
Let’s take Annie Leibovitz…
Let’s take Annie Leibovitz, for example, who is now the most famous portrait photographer in the world. She has photographed well-known actors, singers, Olympic champions and designers. Her photographs always tell an emotional story and are true pieces of art. But she also earns money on them.

Answer: E a photographer’s perspective

3)
The backgrounds for her portraits…
The backgrounds for her portraits are created by another person, Sarah Oliphant. Her works include huge landscapes, abstract paintings or small objects. She says she is a craftsperson, not an artist, because everything she makes is useful to other people and they pay her for it. But people can see her work as art too.

Answer B a modest artist in the background

4)
So what is the answer?
So what is the answer? I am a photographer and I know that people who work in the photography business are almost always craftspeople. They produce images for money on their clients’ orders. But sometimes they use their talent, tools and skills to create something personal. And then they become artists.

8. Look at the photo and choose the most suitable words from the box to describe it. Then describe the photo.

Words chosen: ambitious, ballet, dancer, room, mirror, stretch, teenage girl, trainers, theatre

In the photo, a girl is practicing ballet in a theatre room. She is wearing trainers and is doing a stretch in front of a mirror. She looks ambitious and focused, like a professional dancer.

9. In pairs, answer the questions. Which question refers directly to the photo in Exercise 8?

1) Is the activity easy for the girl to do? Why?/Why not?
No, it doesn’t look easy. Stretching like this needs flexibility, practice, and strength, so the girl is probably trained and experienced.

2) What artistic skills would you most like to learn? Why?
I would like to learn dancing because it helps express emotions and keeps the body fit.

3) Tell us about an artistic competition you watched or took part in.
I watched a dance competition on TV where dancers performed different styles. It was exciting and inspiring to see their skills.
