May Week Two

Our topic this week was art and artists. We looked at several artists' works and tried to use our language skills to describe them.

LISTENING
Learners can try a listening exercise called Understanding Modern Art or listen to Biographies about Famous Artists (click mp3)

For original version, watch the Guardian's animation What is Art For? or the podcast Why Make Art?

READING
Learners can read about a pension who lashed out at a work of modern art.

For original version, check out  any of the many great works about art over at longform.

WRITING
Take a look at Google's Cultural Institute, a digital museum of sorts. Select one piece of art, describe and tell me how it makes you feel. Do you know anything about the artist?

Write a review of the art.

Best,
Kelly
