Objectives (5 - 10 minutes)
-
Main Objective 1: Understand the concept of art perception and its importance in the contemporary world. Students should be able to define the term 'art perception' and explain why it is relevant in their daily lives.
-
Main Objective 2: Develop critical analysis skills of art. Students should learn to observe and interpret different forms of art, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, cinema, music, among others, and express their opinions in a well-founded manner.
-
Main Objective 3: Apply art perception in practical contexts. Students should be able to relate what they have learned about art perception to the real world, such as appreciating an art exhibition, a music concert, a film, etc.
- Secondary Objective: Foster students' creativity and artistic sensitivity. With a deep perception of art, it is expected that students become more open and receptive to artistic expressions, encouraging their own creativity and sensitivity.
At the beginning of the class, the teacher should explain these Objectives to the students, so they can understand what is expected of them and what they should learn by the end of the class.
Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)
-
Review of Previous Content: The teacher should start the class by briefly reviewing the concepts of art and its various forms of expression, which were addressed in previous classes. This can be done through questions to the students, encouraging them to participate actively in the review. (3 - 5 minutes)
-
Problem Situations: After the review, the teacher should present two problem situations to initiate the discussion on art perception:
-
Situation 1: 'Imagine you are in an art gallery and come across an abstract painting. How would you describe it to someone who has not seen it?' This situation serves to highlight the importance of individual perception in the appreciation of art.
-
Situation 2: 'Have you ever wondered why some people like a certain type of music, while others prefer completely different styles?' This situation introduces the concept of subjectivity in art perception. (3 - 5 minutes)
-
-
Contextualization: The teacher should then present the importance of art perception in everyday life, highlighting how it influences our choices, emotions, worldviews, among other aspects. Examples of how art perception is used in advertising, cinema, design, etc., can be cited. (2 - 3 minutes)
-
Introduction to the Topic: To spark students' interest in the topic, the teacher can share some curiosities or stories related to art perception:
-
Curiosity 1: 'Did you know that the Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings in the world, was stolen from the Louvre in 1911? What is interesting about this is that, although the painting was returned in 1913, the theft made the Mona Lisa even more famous and valuable, illustrating how art perception can be influenced by external factors.'
-
Curiosity 2: 'Have you heard of the 'Mozart Effect', which suggests that listening to classical music, especially by Mozart, can improve cognition? Although the science behind this is controversial, this popular belief demonstrates how art perception can affect our perceptions and behaviors.' (3 - 5 minutes)
-
Development (20 - 25 minutes)
-
Activity 1: 'Sound Painting' (10 - 12 minutes)
-
Description: In this activity, students will be divided into groups of 4 or 5. Each group will receive a large sheet of paper, paints of various colors, brushes, and a device for playing music (such as a cell phone with a speaker, for example). The teacher will select different styles of music, from classical to contemporary, and ask the groups to 'paint' what they feel while listening to the music, without knowing the musical style being played.
-
Step by step:
- The teacher selects a song and plays it for all groups.
- While the music plays, the group's students start painting on the sheet of paper, expressing their visual perceptions of the music.
- After a while (about 2-3 minutes), the music is stopped and the students stop painting.
- Each group then shares their painting with the class, explaining the perceptions they had during the activity.
- This process is repeated for different styles of music.
-
-
Activity 2: 'Interpretative Scene' (10 - 12 minutes)
-
Description: In this activity, students will continue in their groups. Each group will receive a short and simple scene from a famous movie, without sound. The students will have to 'create' the soundtrack of the scene, selecting and playing different types of music (provided by the teacher), so that the soundtrack reflects the group's perception of the scene.
-
Step by step:
- The teacher distributes the scenes to each group and explains the activity.
- The students discuss the scene, sharing their perceptions and ideas about the soundtrack.
- They select the music they believe is appropriate for the scene and play it.
- After watching the scene with the selected soundtrack, the students discuss how the perception of the scene changed with the addition of music.
-
These activities aim to promote the exploration of art perception by students, allowing them to experience and reflect on how different forms of art (in this case, music and cinema) can be interpreted in various ways by different people. Additionally, they encourage teamwork, creativity, and artistic expression.
Return (10 - 15 minutes)
-
Group Discussion (5 - 7 minutes)
-
Description: After the conclusion of the activities, the teacher should lead a group discussion where each team shares their perceptions and conclusions. Each group will have a maximum of 3 minutes to present their observations. The teacher should ensure that all teams participate actively and respect each other's time.
-
Step by step:
- The teacher requests each group to present their perceptions and conclusions, starting with Group 1.
- While one group presents, the others should listen attentively and, if necessary, ask questions or provide constructive comments.
- The teacher moderates the discussion, ensuring that all groups have the opportunity to speak and that the conversation remains focused on the topic.
-
-
Connection with Theory (3 - 5 minutes)
-
Description: After the groups' presentations, the teacher should review the main ideas discussed and connect them with the theory presented at the beginning of the class. The teacher can highlight how the practical activities helped illustrate the theoretical concepts and how art perception can vary according to individual interpretation.
-
Step by step:
- The teacher recaps the main ideas presented by the groups.
- The teacher makes the connection between the groups' ideas and the theory, highlighting how art perception was applied and explored during the activities.
- The teacher answers any remaining questions and clarifies any misunderstandings.
-
-
Final Reflection (2 - 3 minutes)
-
Description: To conclude the class, the teacher should propose that students reflect individually for one minute on the following questions. Students can write down their answers in a notebook or share them orally with the class, depending on the classroom dynamics.
-
Reflection Questions:
- What was the most important concept you learned today?
- What questions have not been answered yet?
-
Step by step:
- The teacher proposes the reflection questions and gives students a minute to think about them.
- Students have the option to share their answers with the class or keep them private.
- The teacher thanks the students for their participation and ends the class.
-
This Return stage is crucial to consolidate students' learning, allowing them to reflect on what they have learned and identify any areas that they still do not fully understand. Additionally, the group discussion promotes collaboration and communication among students, while the connection with theory helps integrate practical learning with conceptual knowledge.
