Cinema to Teach & Learn Art History. The Painting of William Turner

Abstract

The paper presented has as target the analysis of the results obtained in a didactic action developed using the film Mr. Turner (Mike Leight, 2014). In this action, students had to learn the caractheristics of the romantic painting through the film. The methodology used, still infrequent in art education, shows a very positive result in knowledge acquisition by the students in order to learn the author’s personality, his style and the art market of that moment.
