Using your device (or a borrowed laptop), work with your teams to find out the following information about Velazquez: When did he live? What type of painting did he do? (realistic, abstract, etc.) What are typical characteristics/similarities in his works? **Remember. This is ART and sometimes artists paint all of the human body. If you run across anything that is not middle school appropriate, please be “professional” and move on. Look for characteristics/similarities here!

8 Explore on your own… Do an internet search for “artist from the 17th century”. Compare and contrast artwork from that time period in general to that of Velazquez’s. For example, were most artists doing portraits or something else? Were most artists doing realistic paintings or something else? Be prepared to talk about at least one other painter and tell the class how his/her artwork compared to Velazuez’s work. Finally, in your opinion, was Velazquez’s are a form of Self-Expression or was he making a statement about something? SUPPORT your opinion!

Using your device (or a borrowed laptop), work with your teams to find out the following information about Salvador Dali: When & where did he live? We now know what surrealism is. (Thanks Dalí!) How is Miró’s art also surrealism if it is SO different than that of Dalí? What do the following symbols represent in Miró’s art? 4. How did Miró’s use of color change over the years? Pick 2-3 paintings from different times of his life to justify your answer. Symbolism    General Info Some of his art explained:

21 Dig deeper It was mentioned in a variety of places that surrealism sprang from DADA. Search “DADA ART”. What is DADA and DADADISM? How do you see influences of DADA in the works of Salvador Dali and Joan Miró? Be specific.

22 REFLECT AND REVIEW (day 3) Take a few minutes and sketch your own modern drawing (like Goya). Be prepared to “defend” your drawing based o the principles or modernistic art. Take a few minutes and sketch your own surrealistic drawing. Be prepared to “defend” your drawing based on the principles or surrealism. OR

23 Final project – gallery walk
How can art be both a form of self-expression and a statement? Throughout this unit we have seen how a variety of Spanish artists have either created or participated in major artistic movements. The BIG question we’ve been asking ourselves is “Is the artist just expressing himself, making a statement about something, or both? We have seen over and over again that the artist often is BOTH expressing himself artistically and making a statement about something. For your final project, you will be creating your own unique piece of art! You must incorporate knowledge you have learned from this unit and show how your art is both self-expression and makes a statement. See rubric for full details. Have fun!
