l'arte parlante

This is a whole website with text, videos, images, traditional activities (to be done on paper) and digital activities (to be done on screen).

A fascinating virtual journey to visit five Italian artists of 20th century - Amedeo Modigliani, Giorgio De Chirico, Gino Severini, Antonio Ligabue and Renato Guttuso - and five of their masterpieces.

Each of the five digital chapters includes eight sections to introduce the topic, explore the artist's life and world, analyse the painting, expand relevant vocab, share some curious facts, and invite you to write a dialogue (or a monologue in one case!) for the characters in the painting.
