Picasso.

Pensado para introducir a los más pequeños en el mundo de la pintura, cuenta la vida y obra de Picasso: El periodo azul, el periodo rosa, el cubismo y hace una mención especial al Guernica. El autor no explica los principios del cubismo, sino que se centra en las peculiaridades de las imágenes más que en las ideas. Además de las reproducciones de las pinturas, el texto está ilustrado por dibujos animados.

Anna Clark (2008) History’s Children: History Wars in the Classroom. UNSW Press, Sydney, 178 pages

“History’s Children” stems from Anna Clark’s 2004 postdoctoral research into the ways in which Australian students connect with the past, and aims at bringing some classroom perspectives into the public debates about Australian history education. Although the title makes reference to the “History Wars”, there is little evidence of contestation, engagement, passion or intellectual excitement in Clark’s conclusions about what happens in history classrooms. Rather, Clark’s small focus groups with 182 high school students in 34 high schools around Australia indicate that “it got a bit dismal hearing student after student being so dismissive of Australian history” (p. 143). Apart from some enthusiasm for the study of Australians at war, a sort of resigned boredom seems to characterise what students have to say about learning Australian history, despite their acknowledgement that it is important to “know about” it.
