Speaking a) Individual long turn: Interpreting artworks 21 b) Paired activity: Suggestions on must-see artworks A group of teachers from your partner school in Great Britain is coming for a short visit. They have asked you to make suggestions of mustsee works of art and architecture in your region. Together with your partner, brainstorm about: • historical buildings and church buildings • landmarks and monuments • works of art on exhibit in museums, galleries and collections. Then agree on three to five top attractions your guests should visit by all means. These paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin show two different visions of the same night café in Arles, France. Please, • Describe the form and content of the two paintings, comparing similarities and contrasting differences. • Describe the effects of light and colour in creating atmosphere. • Examine the expressive qualities of the paintings. Which mood or feeling do they convey? What does Gauguin’s work say about the café? What about van Gogh’s? • Discuss the aesthetic qualities of the two paintings. Do you like them? Why or why not? 87 4 Extensive unit 4: Art attack! Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
