Visual representation

Can you see it? Can you picture it in your head? Words create pictures- mention a barn and I see a big red building that houses farm animals. What do you see if someone mentions a barn?

Ebsco Images is a database just for pictures, images, visual representations.

I did a search for barn. Pictures of barn owls, authors signing at Barnes & Noble, and finally a red barn.

There are still photos from television shows, movies, newspapers! Search and see if you can find a picture that matches the image you create in your mind when you hear a word.
