DESCRIPTION:
The visit to the Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol is a fascinating experience that transports students to a world full of art, magic, and history. During the visit, students will discover how Salvador Dalí decorated the castle with great imagination, creating a unique place full of surprises.
For students in Elementary and Middle school, we will focus on the animals and fantastic beings that inhabit the castle. Students will be able to see furniture shaped like animals, doors that seem to come to life, and even radiators that look like they belong to another world.
For students in High School, the visit centers on understanding Dalí’s surrealism, an artistic style full of fantasy and dreams. Students will learn about the stories hidden behind the castle’s objects, from paintings to strange furniture. Each decorative element has a special meaning that students can decipher as they explore the castle. The goal is to help them understand how Dalí created a visual universe that broke the rules of reality and opened doors to a world where anything is possible
This visit not only allows students to learn about the art and history of Dalí and Gala but also fosters their creativity, helping them see art in a new and exciting way and appreciate the importance of imagination in artistic creation.
CONTENTS:
IIntroduction to the figures of Gala and Salvador Dalí.
Active observation and exploration of the rooms in Púbol Castle.

FINAL ACTIVITY:
At the end of the visit, we will carry out a creative activity where all students can decorate paper shields inspired by the elements and works we have discovered in the castle. The shield is a very ancient symbol used by knights to represent themselves or their families, and Dalí also played with these symbols.
Students can choose elements such as animals, surrealist objects, or other images from the castle to create their own shield. This activity will help them understand the basic concepts of composition and the symbolism of heraldic shields. Additionally, we will encourage their creativity and help them explore how ideas and emotions can be expressed through shapes and colors.
REMARKS:
Activity designed for elementary school children (6-11 years old).
In case of bad weather, the activity cannot take place. In this case, a kit will be provided to the school to carry out the activity on-site.
