Course description:
Boost your confidence with this short high-intermediate (B1.2) book club while deepening your understanding of the Spanish past tenses. Practice narrating in the past, learn new expressions and expand your vocabulary as you discuss a novel with your instructor and other participants.
In this six-week course, participants will read, analyze and discuss the book Frida Kahlo: una biografía by María Hesse, a contemporary Spanish illustrator and author, who seamlessly combines text and image to depict Frida's creative and turbulent life. Each week participants will explore the text through the lens of guiding questions: How do word and image meld to create a complete or incomplete picture of Frida? What does it mean to be an artist? What can we learn about Hesse through this biography?
You will also examine how the author tells the story and improve your understanding of Spanish past tenses while growing your knowledge of one of the world's most famous artists. Book purchase required. Reading guide and online materials included in the price. Prerequisite: Spanish 5 or equivalent.
