This advanced Spanish language course will concentrate on major works of art in the Spanish-speaking world in order for students to become more proficient in the Spanish language and more knowledgeable about many aspects of Hispanic culture and civilization. The course covers works of art beginning with the pre-historic cave paintings of northern Spain and ending with the Chicano art of the American southwest. Some of the artists studied will be El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, Picasso, Dali, Posada, Orozco, Kahlo, Rivera, Botero and Lam. The questions will be: "What can I see in this work of art?" and "How can I relate what I see to the Spanish speaking world?"
