We are going to find out about some famous artists and some famous museums. Then we look at street artists and minute art.
Finally, we will look at a teenage artist and look at the phenomena of the social media and the promotion of art.
How about you?
Are you interested in art? Do you like paintings?
Have you ever visited an art museum?
Art can be found in places all around us; a dance, a painting, sculpture, poetry, in nature... A tricky concept to define because everyone's entitled to their own preferences and feelings when it comes to art.
Have fun!

Lessons
Below are the four lessons that belong to this topic.
Make your choice.
Final project - your own exhibition
You are going to hold your own exhibition.
First you need to decide on a maximum of five pieces of art to include in your exhibition. Every exhibition has a theme – so decide on the theme. It could be ‘nature’ or ‘new artists’ or ‘street art in my town’. You’ll have your own ideas.
Then look for some art that could fit the theme. Look at the grand masters, but also search on Instagram, or local artists.
Once you have chosen the theme and the five works, you now need to put them together and say why.
Take a photo of the works and put them on a ppt.
Prepare your talk for your class.
Practice your presentation with your partner. Then give your talk to your class.
Your talk should include a maximum of 5 slides, and should last no longer than three minutes.

Musicians are artists too, and they can be inspired by painters.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo painted this picture.
It’s called "Sandías con leyenda: Viva la vida" (Watermelons with legend: the life lives).
Frida Kahlo
Chris Martin of Coldplay christened his song and the album after this. He explained: 'She went through a lot...' and then she started a big painting in her house that said 'Viva la Vida'. I just loved the boldness of it. The movie 'Frida', starring Salma Hayek is about her life.
