Beauty and the Best

 



Shared by Jose Carlos Martínez:


The name / topic of my project is 'BEAUTY and the BEST' and I'm developing it with my class of the third course of compulsory secondary education.

The final product of the project is the creation of an art gallery to present their work that will be open for all the community so that they realize that what people call or understands by beauty is only a social convenction. The contents that we are going to deal with are : -Beauty in the prehistory : 'The Willendorf Venus'. -Beauty in the Renaissance : 'Donna Angelicata'. -Beauty in the 18th century : The 'petrimetres'. -Beauty in the 20th century : Coco Chanel. -Beauty in art : 'Las Señoritas de Avignon'. The driving question I'm using to present the project to my students is : -What is a beautiful woman? and among the wide rage of cooperative techniques that can be used to develop the project, I am focusing on group research, brainstorming, graphic organising and debate.
