MFL Art Appreciation

mcmagirlsart — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 10:47:24 +0000

In MFL lessons this term, Year 7 have been looking at paintings by French and Spanish artists and learning to talk about them in a different language. They have learnt to describe the shapes and colours as well as giving their opinions of the paintings and comparing them with other pieces of art. Here are some of the reviews they have written in Spanish.

Pablo Picasso – The Weeping Woman

Este cuadro es por Pablo Picasso. Naciό en Mάlaga en España en 1881, viviό en una casa Mougins en Francia y muriό en Francia en 1973.

Su estilo de cuadro es abstracto. Me encante sus cuadros porque son vistosos, creativos y felizes.

Este cuadro se llama ‘The Weeping Woman’. Es un cuadro muy famoso, es tambien de colores muy vives y emocionante.

En este cuadro puedo ver un a rayas fondo amarillo, naranja y marŕon detras la mujer abstracta. Tambien en este cuadro hay muchas formas diferente.

Puedo ver dos triangulos azules oscuro y rojos (para pelos). De bajo los triangulos hay dos estrellas negras dentro de dos circulos blancos (para ojos). También puedo ver más formas a la izquierda de estas formas.

Me gusta el cuadro de Dali ‘Swans Reflecting Elephants’ porque es detallado y surreal, sin embargo el cuadro de Picasso es menos apagado que el Dali. Porque de esta prefiero el cuadro de Picasso ‘The Weeping Woman’.

¡El Jardín!

El cuadro ‘El Jardín’ es bonito y alegre. El estilo es abstracto y de color es muy vivo. ¡Me encanta este cuadro porque es feliz, abstracto y claro! ¡Me gusta este cuadrado mas que ‘Weeping Woman’ porque es mas alegre! En esta pintura hay un pájaro negro. Detrás el pájaro hay formas de color es muy vivos. En mi opinión ‘El Jardín’ es feliz, tranquilo, bonito y alegre.

Swans reflecting elephants

Este cuadro se llama “Swans Reflecting Elephants”. Este cuadro es por Salvatore Dali. En este cuadro hay un triángulo blanco. Hay tambien tres cisnes blancos y tres elephants gris. Los elephants son de bajo del cisnes.

El fondo es claro azul. Hay líneas marŕones curva. Este cuadro es oscuro y tranquilo sin embargo “El Jardín” por Joan Miró es alegre colorido. El cuadro es muy creativo y imaginativo . Veo rocas negro y morrenos , ramas morrenos y un hombre. Las ramas son detras del cisnes pero el hombre está a la izquierda al lado de los cisnes.

Me gusta este cuadro por que es muy creativo y abstracto sin embargo prefiero “El Jardín” por Joan Miró.
