How to use depict in a sentence?

  1. Louis Leterrier:

    It's not like I can go and cast Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts and I know what Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts're going to bring to me, i had to build my Brad Pitt and build my Julia Roberts and describe to incredible sculptors the emotion that I wanted to depict and the raw puppets to have. It's so important, in the colors, the textures, everything -- every detail in a certain puppet is creating a character.

  2. Eleanor Holmes Norton:

    Although formerly enslaved Americans paid for this statue, the design and sculpting process was done without their input or participation, and it shows, the statue fails to depict how enslaved African Americans pressed for their own emancipation. At the time, they had only recently been liberated from slavery and were grateful for any recognition of their freedom. However, in his keynote address at the unveiling of the statue, Frederick Douglass pointedly did not praise the statue, and, indeed, in private remarks, went as far as to say, it ‘showed the Negro on his knee when a more manly attitude would have been indicative of freedom.’.

  3. Ashley Montagu:

    Because women live creatively, they rarely experience the need to depict or write about that which to them is a primary experience and which men know only at a second remove. Women create naturally, men create artificially.

  4. The Republican lawmakers:

    These many incidents are alarming on their own; together, they depict a complete failure to lead the Department.

  5. Giovanni Cocco:

    I try to understand what her way of looking at reality is. I try to capture what she captures, the worlds I see around Monia would not exist without her. They recount her personality. That is why I try to depict the visual space that surrounds her, even through an obscured, unclear view.
