Second grade students are in the process of completing a project on the painting The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí. They learned about the painting in Spanish and art class. They learned that the melting clocks represent time fading away and the way memories become fuzzy. It also can represent how time moves in dreams. Students also learned that the ants on the pocket watch represent decay. In Spanish class, they are learning how to tell time on the hour and half hour in Spanish (they are also learning to tell time in English!). In art class, they made their own melting clocks. Then, during Spanish morning meeting (tertulia), we filmed ourselves saying the different times on our clocks.
Hope Valley has finished their video and it came out great! Here is their video. Thanks to Mrs. DiFranco, Mrs. Mello, and Miss D'Agostino for working with me on this project! I will post Ashaway's and Mrs. Webster's videos soon. This is the original painting by Dalí:
