In the Classroom
Show students a selection of famous allegorical paintings. Have them work in pairs to identify symbols and guess their meanings before discussing them as a class. Students can use magazine clippings, drawings, or digital tools such as PhotoCollage reviewed here or Photo Joiner reviewed here to create a visual collage representing an abstract concept (ex.: justice, freedom, ambition). They present their work, explaining the symbolism they included. Challenge students to create their own allegorical paintings based on contemporary themes. They must title their work and write an artist's statement explaining the symbolism. Set up a classroom gallery of allegorical paintings (printed or digital). Students walk around, writing brief interpretations on sticky notes. Then, discuss different perspectives as a class.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Assign students to explore a specific stage and write a reflection describing its architectural features, history, and cultural significance. Have students select two stages from different countries and create a visual or written comparison of their design, history, and cultural importance. This activity can include research on the types of performances each venue typically hosts. After touring a theater, ask students to write a short play or script inspired by that venue's design or historical performances. They can present their work as a staged reading or share it in small groups. Combine art and music by asking students to design a performance poster or program for an imaginary event at one of the stages.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
