Teacher’s favorite art unit! Present Velázquez, Goya and Picasso! The unit includes a text on the people in the Meninas; then comes the vocabulary of painters and painting plus more paintings, oral presentations, oral exercises with cartoons of two paintings, even a list of Spanish museums and painters for further study. What more can you ask?
