Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Baroque Artwork Analysis Activity (10 - 12 minutes)

   • The teacher divides the class into small groups and distributes a printed copy of a famous Baroque artwork to each group. Each group receives a different artwork. The artworks may include Caravaggio's 'The Conversion of Saint Paul,' Bernini's 'The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa,' among others.
   • Students are instructed to analyze their group's artwork, observing characteristics such as the use of light and shadow (chiaroscuro), dramaticity, portrayed emotion, ornamentation, and religious themes.
   • Each group then prepares a brief presentation for the class, discussing their analysis of the artwork and how it incorporates the characteristic elements of Baroque art.

2. Debate on the Influence of Religion on Baroque Art (5 - 7 minutes)

   • Students are encouraged to share their opinions and ideas, based on the analyses of the artworks they conducted and the knowledge they acquired during the lesson.

3. Practical Art Activity (5 - 6 minutes)

   • To conclude the development phase, the teacher proposes a practical art activity. Each student receives a sheet of paper and colored pencils or crayons.

     2. 'What questions about Baroque art have not been answered yet or would you like to explore further?'
   • Students have a minute to think about their answers. Then, they are invited to share their reflections with the class, if they wish.
   • This step aims to encourage students to actively process what they have learned, identify any gaps in their understanding, and take responsibility for their own learning.

This return stage is essential to consolidate students' learning, providing them with the opportunity to reflect on what they have learned, make connections with theory, and identify areas for future exploration.
