!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Francisco Jose de Goya de Lucientes was born in Fuendetodos, in the province of Saragossa on the 30th of March in 1746. His parents were Joseph Goya and Gracia Lucientes. It is difficult, in the life of this painter to discern what is truth and what is legend, because fantasy and reality are mixed in this life as in no other.
His childhood was spent in Fuendetodos where his parents and brothers and sisters lived in the family house, which bore the family crest of his mother, and which was surrounded by the dry lands, treeless and waterless where his father practiced his trade of gilder.
About 1749 the family bought a house in the City of Saragossa and some years later finally went to live in it. Then Goya attended the Escuelas Pias, a School where he formed a close friendship with Martin Zapater, whom he was never to forget and whose correspondence with him has become valuable documentary evidence. He then entered the studio of Jose Lujan, Academic painter, from whom he learnt the elementary steps of painting. We do not know how this period of his life gave birth to the Goyesque legend which supposes him to have fought bulls at the local bull fighting festivals; to have strummed the guitar gaily; and to have loved so violently and so often, that one of these affairs forced him to leave Saragossa and move to Madrid.

LEARNING ENGLISH THROUGH ART: EMIL NOLDE
Information about Emil Nolde: http://www.answers.com/topic/emil-nolde
Emil Hansen was born near the German-Danish border on 7 August 1867. He adopted the name of his birth town as his artist name at a later date. Nolde completed an apprenticeship as a furniture designer and wood carver in Flensburg between 1884 and 1888 and then worked for various furniture factories in Munich, Karlsruhe and Berlin. He was employed as a teacher of industrial drawing at the Gewerbemuseum (Industrial Museum) in St. Gallen in 1892, where he taught until 1898. There, where at first mainly landscape watercolours and drawings of mountain farmers emerged, Nolde became known through small coloured drawings of Swiss mountains.

Teaching English CLIL: CLASSROOM BENEFITS
Sometimes, just thinking about developing a CLIL program or even teaching one CLIL lesson can beintimidating, overwhelming, and confusing. But don’t let the tough appearance of CLIL fool you – it can be a very intuitive, natural way to teach and learn. Like any instructional method, though, it requires a certain amount of understanding and dedication from you. It also helps if you’re willing to learn through the process of teaching, as I’m sure you are – being teachable is one of the keys to successful pedagogy. CLIL can be successfully implemented by one teacher, but often, two teachers collaborate before developing lesson plans – and that means learning from each other.

CLIL Learning English through art. Willian Hogarth La carriera del libertino: Il matrimonio
William Hogarth
Genre Painting
During the 18th century, there was a tremendous amount of variety in the subject matter of genre painting, which usually represented scenes from everyday life. Such work often depicted the lives of commoners, including beggars, soldiers of fortune, and tradespeople. One of the most popular subjects was the depiction of women engaged in domestic tasks. These paintings were collectively known as bambocciate, or scenes of "trivial" subjects. An eye for exaggeration and the grotesque was often a characteristic of this style. Flemish and Dutch artists accounted for the majority of genre painters, and Austrian and German painters followed their lead. Many of these, working in Italy as well as in their native lands, were loosely connected with a group of bamboccianti painters who had converged on Rome during the previous century. Of the many practitioners of low-life and peasant scenes, certain painters stand out as exceptional; these include the Italian Giacomo Ceruti (c.1698-1767). who was principally active in Brescia. The English artist William Hogarth (1697-1764) dealt with similar subject matter, but his bitter and witty comments and his moral reflections on the society of his day place him in a different, more satirical artistic category.

(b London, 10 Nov 1697; d London, 25–26 Oct 1764).
English painter and engraver. He played a crucial part in establishing an English school of painting, both through the quality of his painting and through campaigns to improve the status of the artist in England. He also demonstrated that artists could become independent of wealthy patrons by publishing engravings after their own paintings. He is best remembered for the satirical engravings that gave the name ‘Hogarthian’ to low-life scenes of the period.

LEARNING ENGLISH THROUGH PAINTINGS. Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516). THE CONJURER.
The conjurer.
Hieronymus Bosch
(1450-1516)
Hieronymus Bosch
Bosch's pictures have always fascinated viewers, but in earlier centuries it was widely assumed that his diabolic scenes were intended merely to amuse or titillate, most people regarded him as "the inventor of monsters and chimeras." Philip II, though, collected his works more for education than for entertainment. A Dutch art historian in the early 17th century described Bosch's paintings chiefly as "wondrous and strange fantasies" often less pleasant than gruesome to look at'. In the 20th century, however, scholars decided that Bosch's art has a more profound significance, and there have been many attempts to explain its origins and meaning. Some writers saw him as a sort of 15th century surrealist and linked his name with that of Salvator Dali. For others, Bosch's
art reflects mysterious practices of the Middle Ages.
No matter what explanation and comprehension of
his art might be, Bosch remains the most extravagant
painter of his time.

CARNIVAL EVENING BY ROUSSEAU. LEARNING ENGLISH THROUGH ART.
Henri Rousseau (1844-1910)
Arguably the greatest exponent of naive (naif) or primitive art, the self-taught French painter Henri Rousseau ("Le Douanier") was derided by critics but much admired by many of his fellow artists, including the colourist Henri Matisse, the Post-Impressionist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and the Cubist Robert Delaunay, as well as Pablo Picasso who championed the strong colour and child-like simplicity of his primitive landscape painting. Picasso hosted a dinner in the painter's honour in 1908, which duly triggered a wave of intellectual interest in the Rousseau's works, and elevated his primitivism to the level of high art. Rousseau was later revered by Surrealists in the 1920s for the surrealism of images such as The Sleeping Gypsy (1897), which is now one of the world's most popular posters of modern art.

MARC CHAGALL BIOGRAPHY. ENHANCING ENGLISH THROUGH ART.
Marc Chagall was born in 1887 to a poor Jewish family in Russia. He was the eldest of nine children. Chagall began to display his artistic talent while studying at a secular Russian school, and despite his father’s disapproval, in 1907 he began studying art with Leon Bakst in St. Petersburg. It was at this time that his distinct style that we recognize today began to emerge. As his paintings began to center on images from his childhood, the focus that would guide his artistic motivation for the rest of his life came to fruition.
In 1910, Chagall, moved to Paris for four years. It was during this period that he painted some of his most famous paintings of the Jewish village, and developed the features that became recognizable trademarks of his art. Strong and bright colors began to portray the world in a dreamlike state. Fantasy, nostalgia, and religion began to fuse together to create otherworldly images.
