Savremena鈥檚 students often enjoy their enlightening visits to different kinds of exhibitions and cultural events. As true art connoisseurs, they could not miss this unique opportunity to see the works of one of the greatest painters of the 20th century, Salvador Dali, which is why they visited the Magnificent Worlds of Salvador Dali exhibition last week.
Surrealist depictions from the Bible and the Divine Comedy
During the visit to the exhibition, the students were able to explore over 240 graphics made by Dali, all of which are from his most prolific creative opus 鈥 鈥淭he Divine Comedy鈥 and 鈥淭he Biblia Sacra鈥, 鈥淒ali鈥檚 Horses鈥, as well as the 鈥濰omage to Leonardo da Vinci鈥.
In order to relate the concept of surrealism and the works of one of the movement鈥檚 most notable representatives, art teacher Ana Manojlovi膰 made sure to introduce the students to Dali鈥檚 intriguing personality, his lifestyle and above all the techniques he used in creating his masterpieces.
Students inspired by Dali鈥檚 genius
In the words of the students, the works of the surrealist genius were truly inspiring, spurring them to recreate the scenes from famous literary works in their own imagination. Thanks to their broad knowledge and understanding of Biblical motives, students were able to understand Dali鈥檚 works depicting important details from the most read book of all time.
Given that our students will soon be learning about humanism and the Renaissance, where they will cover Dante鈥檚 Divine Comedy, Dali鈥檚 representation of the classic will serve as an additional interpretation of the author鈥檚 seminal work.
The significance of cultural events
By carefully examining Dali鈥檚 graphics, students learned about the subject matter of the Bible and the Divine Comedy in a truly unique way, which is what gives the exhibition its educational character.
It is the visits to cultural events like this one that complement the knowledge and skills students have attained and develop their appreciation for the importance that such events have for their education.
