ART PROJECT "Art is the signature of man."​ - [|G.K. Chesterton]

=DESCRIPTION= As the quote above states, Art is indeed the signature of man. Even before recorded history, we have [|evidence] that our forefathers enjoyed creating art. Surely, creating art is one of distinctive of man's existence as it separates us from the brute animals. Appreciating this art is a vital part of a good education. In this project, therefore, you will be exploring and, hopefully, enjoying some of the Spanish-speaking world's great art.

[|Art Project]

Go ahead. Peruse the paintings there at your leisure. You can view it as a slideshow and pause it when you find one that you really like. You can also view the paintings all at once by scrolling through it and choosing the ones that you most enjoy for a closer look.

Next, pick THREE paintings that particularly catch your eye. You don't have to choose a certain painting for any specific reason other than that you like it. However, there are some constraints (See **Requirements** below).

Lastly, you will create a Powerpoint presentation with four slides per painting.

=**REQUIREMENTS**=

Artwork:

1 painting must be from the years 1400-1799. 1 painting must be from 1800-1899. 1 painting must be from 1900-present.

Presentation

The first slide is an intro slide to the project.

Each painting should have four slides devoted to it: Painting, Info about Painting (English), En Español, and Me gusta. **//See Profe's Example Project.//**

The first slide will be the painting itself. (Unfortunately, you cannot copy and paste from the Art Project, so you can use [|Google Images] to find the painting. Just type the title of the painting in the search bar and it should pop up for you that way. Copy and paste from there. Also, there is a list of the paintings in my collection at the bottom of this page.)

The second slide will contain important info about the painting (like artist's name, title, date of composition, etc.). **//If you click on the painting itself, it will pull up with a "details" tab that you can click on for further information. Sometimes this page or the "More Details" page will include the information about date of composition. This page sometimes also lists the name of the painting in Spanish. If you can't find it here, google it and see if there is a wikipedia page dedicated to the painter.//**

The third slide will have five sentences about the painting IN SPANISH. First sentence: The name of the painter Second sentence: Where the painter is from Third sentence: Information about the painter (ex: what's he like, etc.) Fourth sentence: The name of the painting (in Spanish, if available-see above) Fifth sentence: Describe the painting.

The fourth slide will have two sentences that describe //why// you like the painting IN SPANISH. See my example. You might say you like it because it's pretty, mysterious, fun, silly, you like the activity in the picture, etc.
