art for Spanish teachers -
We did some fun activities looking at Dali's art (Persistence of Memory and
all) and talking about memories - great past tense activities for
imperfect/preterit if you like. We divided the art into 4 cuadrants and
then described the piece to each other. Kids did their own artwork with
some kind of clock at a certain time and a few other requirements and then
described its colors and location to another student who was not looking at
the original piece and then we compared.
We also did our own "mural/collage" after we looked at some muralists.
