WORLD HERITAGE MONUMENTS

El siguiente proyecto que tenemos que realizar es sobre algún monumento PATRIMONIO DE LA HUMANIDAD de Andalucía o España. Es un proyecto que vamos a hacer conjuntamente con un colegio de Polonia, así que los polacos harán sus trabajos sobre monumentos de su país y los mandarán a Garrucha para que los conozcamos y expongamos. Nosotros haremos lo mismo.

Nuestra genial auxiliar Susan nos va a ayudar a preparar este trabajo durante la segunda semana de diciembre, partiendo de un texto con mucha información de un monumento Patrimonio de la Humanidad de UK, la Torre de Londres. Leeremos la información, buscaremos las palabras clave y redactaremos la información básica en un inglés asequible, pues TODOS VUESTROS TRABAJOS SE VAN A EXPONER ORALMENTE Y REALIZAREMOS UN VÍDEO DONDE SALDREMOS TODOS!!!!

Las normas del proyecto son:

- Tamaño: media cartulina, en donde con variedad de materiales  y total libertad creativa haremos nuestro monumento, con la forma y los detalles del mismo.El texto, que será breve con diez frases como máximo, debe estar integrado en la imagen, en nuestro monumento.

- Hay que usar el presente histórico, es decir, frases como "El monumento está en...", "está hecho de ....", "lo construye.....".

- Hay que poner información relativa a DÓNDE, QUIÉN, CÓMO, PARA QUÉ Y ALGUNAS CURIOSIDADES.

En inglés, patrimonio de la humanidad se dice WORLD HERITAGE, y aquí os dejo algunos enlaces de interés:

You can watch the video here.

And here you have the lyrics:
Me da miedo cuando sales
Sonriendo pa' la calle
Porque todos pueden ver
Los hoyuelitos que te salen

Y del aire cuando pasa
Por levantarte el cabello
Y del oro que te viste
Por amarrarse a tu cuello
Y del cielo y de la luna
Porque tú quieras mirarlos
Hasta del agua que bebes
Cuando te moja los labios

Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho

Pienso en tu mirá
Pienso en tu mirá

Me da miedo cuando sales
Sonriendo pa' la calle
Porque todos pueden ver
Los hoyuelitos que te salen

Me da miedo cuando sales
Sonriendo pa' la calle
Porque todos pueden ver
Los hoyuelitos que te salen

Tan bonita que amenaza
Cuando callas, me das miedo
Tan fría como la nieve
Cuando cae desde el cielo
Cuando sales por la puerta
Pienso que no vuelves nunca
Y si no te agarro fuerte
Siento que será mi culpa

Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho
Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clava' es una bala en el pecho

Pienso en tu mirá
Pienso en tu mirá
(Pa' trá')

Me da miedo cuando sales
Sonriendo pa' la calle
Porque todos pueden ver
Los hoyuelitos que te salen

Me da miedo cuando sales
Sonriendo pa' la calle
Porque todos pueden ver
Los hoyuelitos que te salen

Kandinsky, the artist who invented Abstraction

  Kandinsky created the Abstract Art at around 1910, due to the expansion of photography and because he had something really especial called SYNESTHESIA. There was another painter that is considered the co-founder of Abstraction, Hilma af Klint.                   

Watch this presentation about Kandinsky: 


                     

Read again carefully the information: 

 Wassily Kandinsky was born in December 1866, in Russia. As a child he loved music and learned to play the piano and the cello. When he left school he became a teacher. 

When he was 30 he went to Germany to learn how to draw and paint. Later, he settled in Germany after World War I and became an art teacher. Twenty years later, in 1933, he went back to France where he stayed for the rest of his life. Kandinsky’s artwork is called abstract. His paintings are made up of lots of shapes. Kandinsky used music to help him work. This helped him to work out which colours and shapes to use. Kandinsky wanted to make people feel an emotion when they looked at his paintings. Emotion means a feeling like being happy or sad. Kandinsky died in December 1944. He was 78 years old.

The Tower, Delaunay

The Tower, by Robert Delaunay

The cubist artist Robert Delaunay was fascinated by the Eiffel Tower, and during his life he painted the famous French tower time and again, as you can see below:

Read this text about one of Delaunay's drawings and answer the questions:

Robert Delaunay
The Tower
(1911) (inscribed 1910)
Ink and pencil on paper
21 1/4 x 19 1/4" (53.9 x 48.9 cm)
The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Fund

As the world’s tallest monument at the time, the Eiffel Tower was for Delaunay a symbol of both modernity and masculinity, and he depicted it time and again. He was among the first artists to focus on this Parisian landmark as a subject. Rather than represent the Eiffel Tower from one view, Delaunay’s drawing uses rhythmically placed lines and patterns to capture his experience of the tower from multiple perspectives.

The drawing is an example of Delaunay’s engagement with the dynamic architecture of Paris at the turn of the 20th century. The Eiffel Tower was just one of the exciting public projects undertaken during an era that would later be described as the Belle Époque (French for “beautiful era”). In comparison to the horrors of World War I that would follow it, the Belle Époque was a time of peace, invention, and intense art production for France and its neighbors.

QUESTIONS

1. Which was the tallest monument at the time that Delaunay made this drawing?

2. The Eiffel tower was for Delaunay a symbol of modernity, why?

3. Explain whether or not Delaunay's drawing of the Eiffel Tower is very realistic. Support your answer with evidence from the text and drawing.

4. Write some characteristics of the Belle Époque from the text.
