This review is from: Goya: Awakened in a Dream (DVD)

There were realities of history and culture that affected this great artist. Art appreciation can transcend class and the stereotypes of society.

This review is from: Goya: Awakened in a Dream (DVD)

The painters collection is for people who love the Masters and just like a fun film for childern and adults alike. Degas is my favorite. There are other films with the impressionist. You may want to rent one before buying.

This review is from: Goya : Awakened in a Dream [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been using this video for several years with high school design students. They respond well to it, and it is a good springboard for class discussions. I follow this in the next class period with a slide lecture on Goya's life and the purposes his art served at different stages, including: sports reporting (for example, "Unfortunate Incident in the First Row"); decorative and practical (the tapestry cartoons); social criticism with Enlightenment values (The Caprices); Political power and criticism (Portrait of King Carlos IV and family); Portraiture--and veiled love note (Duchess of Alba); Propaganda--in a GOOD sense (The Third of May, 1808); a personal thank-you note (Dr. Arietta); psychological self-examination and catharsis (The Black Paintings); even sexual excitation (both the Clothed and Nude Majas).

I believe the students respond better to my slide lecture because they have first gotten to know Goya as a flesh and blood human being through this excellent film. I must have watched it at least twenty times in the last seven years, and can find no significant fault with it.

This year I used it as the beginning of a unit on drawing from observation, and Goya's advice to Rosarita was exactly what I want the students to get: (slightly paraphrased) "You've drawn what you think a tree is like; you must learn to see, and to draw a tree it as it really is."

I just wish it was available on DVD!
