In honor of Salvador Dalí’s birthday on May 11, I wanted to share with you all of my favorite Salvador Dali Spanish lesson plans. As you probably can tell by now, teaching about Hispanic artists is my passion. It is such a fun way to engage your students in the target language while letting them express themselves creatively. With these Salvador Dali Spanish lesson ideas, your students will learn about Dali’s life, surrealism, and even be able to describe his artworks in the target language!
1. Salvador Dali Biography in Spanish
Salvador Dali had a very unique childhood. Did you know that he had an older brother who passed away at a young age? His name was Salvador, as well. Dalí’s parents believed that the second-born Dalí (the painter we know today), was the reincarnation of his older brother. His parents even took Dalí to the grave site of his brother and told him that he was the reincarnation. What kind of effect can that have on a person?! Now, his unique style and surrealist pieces might begin to make some sense to you!
It is important that your students know about Dalí’s childhood, school, and artistic inspiration. Begin teaching about Dalí with a biography in the target language. You can find 3 differentiated versions of a Salvador Dalí biography HERE. This is perfect for all levels of Spanish students.
