The symbols of power through art and time

Shared by Ángel Salvador García: 

A PROJECT FOR 4^TH ESO UNIVERSAL MODERN HISTORY SUBJECT

 In the Padlet link you have several pictures of famous works of art of different periods related to the image of power.

The idea of this project is to give you a wide perspective about how, in the exercise of power, the Art has been used throughout History as a useful tool, used by institutions and individuals to control behaviour, beliefs, attitudes and opinions of those submitted to them through certain iconography.

First of all, using Google Lens identify each one of the works of art. Then, create a timeline in which you have to place in chronological order all of them. 

You can use the timeline option from Padlet, and dont forget to include some facts about each one of them (character depicted, chronology and historical period, name of the work of art). You can add new works of art related to the project´s subject

After that, it´s time to reflect and write an essay of 200 words about Iconography of power in Art based on the following questions:

 - What do you consider as a symbol of power in a work of art? Could be objects or something else?

- What kind of individuals are related to Power symbology depiction?

- Is there an evolution of the power iconography throughout time or, on the contrary, they have kept immutable?

- Do you think this kind of art is effective for its own purposes (related to power)?

- Can you find similarities between the pictures you have analyzed?
