Art and Drawing: IELTS Speaking Part 1 questions and answers

Do you like drawing or painting?

I like drawing as a way to relax, although I am not very talented. I sometimes sketch people or landscapes in a notebook.

Did you learn art at school?

Do you visit art galleries?

Is art important in education?

Yes. It develops creativity and patience, and it gives students who are not strong in other subjects a chance to succeed.

Do you have any paintings at home?

A few. My mother likes landscape paintings, so there are several in the living room, and one of them was painted by my uncle.

Would you like to improve your drawing skills?

Yes, I would like to take a short course. Learning basic techniques would let me express my ideas better.
