A. Análisis:
. Haz una descripción de lo que ves.
. Relaciona el título, el mural, y el lugar donde lo pintó Siqueiros.
. ¿Cuál es el mensaje del mural? Cita los detalles del mural que apoyen tu conclusión.
B. Collage.Basándote en los textos de la unidad, vas a crear tu propio collage que responda a la pregunta de enfoque: ¿Qué impacto ha tenido, tiene, y tendrá el desarrollo científico en nuestra vida cotidiana? Debes representar al menos 10 impactos: tres en el pasado, tres actualmente y cuatro en el futuro. Puedes usar fotos, dibujos, recortes de revistas … Cuando lo termines vas a escribir una descripción de lo que has hecho, o sea, una explicación del arte que has eligido para representar cada uno de los 10 impactos, al igual que una explicación de la estructura del collage.
