At first the teacher Paqui has said that as Jose hadn't come at class, I had to do the journal...

Then we have seen a panoramic photo of la Quinta del Sordo ( the house of Goya) and we have spoken about the walls of his house, and the opinions of the teacher and the classmates about the frescoes and canvanses..

Then we have watched some paintings, like for example "Two old men eating soup", "Women laughing" and "Figth with cudgels"
We have compared some paintings (with some others of different styles, like of expressionism,surrealism, impressionism...)

In 1823 Goya exiled in France, where he painted his last paintings: I'm still learning", "The Milkmaid of Bordeaux"( 1826)

And finally Goya died in 1828. Goya anticipated some styles like Romanticism, Realism, Expressionism and Surrealism

Then we have spoken about the spelling mistakes of a painting by Goya ( not a mistake in that century) and the teacher has explained that the vocabulary has change a lot from the past.

And finally we have copied a scheme about Goya styles and life ( to do in class) :

1st stage (1775-1792)-2nd stage (1792-1828)


Goodbye!
