“The Fountains of Silence Gallery”
In this activity, students will demonstrate their understanding of characterization and theme in Fountains of Silence by creating a gallery of Estampa Popular art “curated” by four of the novel’s main characters.
In Fountains of Silence, Daniel’s photography is one means of resistance against Franco’s oppression, and Ana finds a kind of emotional and spiritual relief in the paintings of Joaquín Sorollo. Historically, art has had an important role in fighting oppression—and this was also true in Spain during Franco’s regime. In this activity, you will learn about the artists of the Estampa Popular movement and create a collection of their work that reflects the personalities and beliefs of four characters from Fountains of Silence.
