Description
Visit to Púbol Castle based on discovering Dalí’s various fantastic and magical animals to be found there. For a day, we will become explorers around the Castle’s rooms and garden and, in addition to the animals, we will be spotting various features that make this a different and magical castle.
Objectives
- To discover Púbol Castle in a play-oriented, fun way.
- To look at the Castle’s decorative features as Dalí’s artistic work.
- To distinguish the various indoor and outdoor areas of the Castle and find out about their uses.
- To recognise the various Dalinian animals on the basis of observation, riddles, etc.
- To identify and describe the shapes, colours and textures of the various animals we will be working on during the visit.
- To stimulate curiosity through discovery of the animals and of the Castle in general.
- To foster the pleasure of observing, finding out about and discovering an artistic space.
- To take part in team work and share the experiences gained over the course of the visit.
- To learn to respect the museum and the people visiting it.
Suggestions for Follow-up Work
- Writing a made-up song dedicated to the Púbol Castle animals. For three- and four-year-old children the song we suggest is devoted to the elephants (The Elephants’ Song), while for five-year olds we would suggest a song that takes in all the animals we have seen at the Castle: The Animals’ Song.
- Making a mobile decoration with drawings of the Púbol Castle animals (three- and four-year-old children).
- Painting an elephant with lobster legs, using different artistic techniques and procedures (five-year olds).
- Consulting books, stories, DVDs, CDs and the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation website to look for more works featuring the animals we have identified and worked on during the visit to Púbol Castle.
- Completing the “Dalinian Triangle” with visits to the Dalí Museum in Figueres and the Salvador Dalí House in Portlligat.
