Video Activity: Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

Dear Grace,

Here is a video activity that you can do at home. We'll discuss your answers next class.

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!

BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO

1) What is beauty, in your opinion? 

2) Can you make a list of 5 qualities that define beauty? Write them in order of importance (Number 1 should be the most important one).

WHILE WATCHING

3) Watch the following video and pay attention to the general message.



AFTER WATCHING

4) Answer the following questions: 
  • How does the film make you feel?
  • How do the women in the film feel when they see their portraits? Why?
  • What’s the message of the film?
5) At the end of the movie, you can see the following phrase:

“You are more beautiful than you think.”


This is the publicity slogan of Dove the product which made the short film. 
Do you agree with this slogan? Why do you think it was chosen?

6) Go back to the list you made before (task 2). Do you want to leave it the same way, or would you like to make any changes? Why?

7) Imagine you are the publicity manager of a MAKE-UP product. Think of a good slogan that represents the idea on the Dove video.

Ginny

Dear Ginny: as a little present, I´m uploading a video that I think, in a way, rounds off our academic year, following the topic of Art we have so often included in our classes, coupled with the topic of learning, which has always been your objective and my aim.  Hope you enjoy watching it, with a cup of tea in your hands, sprawled in your sofa, feet up on a stool!!! Have a nice end of the year and fantastic holidays! Love, Natalia

The name of the video is: The Art of Learning
