ROMANESQUE ART

HERE you are the presentation with the pictures for your assignment.

Remember: you should choose ONE picture from architecture and ONE from painting OR sculpture.

ROMANTICISM AND REALISM

Today we are going to create our own image about what Romanticism and Realism are.
After watching some videos, and with the help of the textbook, you have an idea about these two movements.

Now it's time to look for some examples to illustrate our shared creation: the padlet.

As you can see, it is a wall to stick on it anything we consider interesting about the most important people in each movement.
So, you have to choose one of them and look for one of their pieces of art (painting, book, poem, text, song) and write a shot comment about it based on the main principles of these two movements.

ALL OF YOU have to write something. There will be positive or negative points, so, DON'T FORGET TO WRITE YOUR NAME

Time to start. Are you ready?  if so, CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO START.
