The Art of Spanish II: Language through Film
S06, S07
Sonia Perez Villanueva
Students will be challenged to examine the cultural, historical, and artistic flavors that influence films from Spain and Latin America in the second half of this full-year introduction to the Spanish-speaking world. Directors to be explored include Bunuel, del Toro, and Almodóvar, among others. The level of difficulty will increase as students enter the world of moving pictures, keeping up with the Spanish tongue. Students will develop familiarity with limited complex structures and strategies for interpersonal discourse. Students will keep a journal where they will show their cultural and linguistic development in the form of sentence-level discourse. Find your words and create your own voice in art, paint, character, and moving image—with a Spanish touch. Introductory level, second term.
