Visita comentada
De la mano de artistas como
Pablo Picasso,
Isidre Nonell o
Joan Miró
esta visita comentada revela cómo distintas identidades individuales y
colectivas confluyen en las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Los alumnos
son interpelados acerca de esta circunstancia por medio del análisis de
obras en las que aparece el cuerpo y la personalidad como objeto de
estudio físico y simbólico.
La mujer del cambio del siglo o la
figura del artista de vanguardia que proyecta sus inquietudes personales
sobre su obra, son algunas de las identidades que aparecerán reflejadas
en las piezas que componen el itinerario. De este modo, los
voluntarios culturales
del Museo Reina Sofía plantean a los grupos del primer ciclo de
Secundaria una exploración tanto formal como conceptual que, a modo de
recorrido dialogado, tiene lugar en la salas de la
Colección 1.
