INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
“El arte es una mentira que nos acerca a la verdad.”
Pablo Picasso (Spanish artist)
GAT EWAY S TO ART
PLANT THE SEEDS
Design a bulletin board that encapsulates the values and key
objectives of the Art Series as they are explored throughout
the unit.
The bulletin board becomes a metaphoric garden where
ideas are planted and knowledge and student productivity are
harvested. This is a tremendous tool to create an interactive,
child-centered environment to launch the theme of the unit.
You may want to use the model below as an inspiration for
your Art bulletin board.
¿Qué es el arte? Engage students in a discussion about what
art is. Ask them whether they like to paint or draw, and what
they feel when they are making their paintings or drawings.
Discuss the purposes of art, from the artist’s own enjoyment
and pleasure, to decoration and social purposes. Invite them to
brainstorm types of art other than drawings and paintings and
list them on the board. Besides the multiple forms of plastic
arts, the list might include architecture, dance, music, theater,
and even music. Accept all answers as valid.
Explain that art has existed since the first human beings existed.
All people in all places and times have created their own forms
of art, and have created and recreated beauty through drawings,
objects, clothing, buildings, and various utensils.
Tell students that the works of art that they are going to view
in Azul y verde will provide them with opportunities to learn
about different techniques, styles, and subjects used by several
important artists of Hispanic origins. This is a new opportunity
to get to know people who have enriched the culture of the
millions of people who speak Spanish in the world.
LAUNCHING THE UNIT
¡Abramos las puertas!Motivate students to create their own
reduced version of the bulletin board in which they record
notes, sketches, sayings, summaries, citations from the book,
elaboration and amplifications that connect the knowledge
learned as they look at and examine the works of art presented
in the Art series of Puertas al sol . Students may use this “map
of learning” as a cover of a portfolio or a personal collection of
work and activities developed throughout this unit.
