Shared by Mª José García:

First of all, I will create a PPT and its first slide will show the question: " WHAT IS ART?". 

I will write on the board the students´ answers. In another slide, the question will be " WHAT IS A WORK OF ART FOR YOU?. 

Then, I will show them different works of art from different categories in an interactive image within the ppt. We will discuss on them. On another slide I will show them "Death and the Miser" by Hieronymus Bosch .

I will ask them some questions for them to focus, such as:

- What does this painting make you feel?

- Can you suggest a title?

- What is the topic being dealt with?

- When do you think it was painted?

- Who might be the man in the bed?

- What could he do for a living?

- Why do you think he is naked?

- Who could be the man in green?

-Which animals can you see? What might they represent?

Finally, I will ask them to imagine being the man in bed and write their last thoughts.
