Wordless Wednesday: Beatriz Milhazes’ The Beach

The Art Curator for Kids - Wordless Wednesday - Beatriz Milhazes, The Beach (A Praia), 1997

Today’s Wordless Wednesday is one I came super close to featuring in November in my Art Around the World in 30 Days series, but it didn’t make the cut, because I wanted more architecture. I really love this painting. It’s just lovely and fun and different.

You don’t see a lot of paintings that are this long and vertical. It’s interesting. I love how it seems to flow downward and each part of it makes me want to examine it closer and figure out what it means. The whole thing kind of looks like a deconstructed Brazilian woman. Really cool.

The Beach by Beatriz Milhazes from Brazil mixes her cultural heritage with a more modern style of painting. You can read more about this painting over on the Met Museum’s website. Her process seems very interesting and innovative as well and you can read about it at that link to the Met.

How could you incorporate this artwork into your curriculum? Share you ideas in the comments!

    I think you could use this painting to learn about the different flowers in it in school.

I like how this program, unlike other art class resource membership programs, feels authentic. It's like art matters more here, and not fancy flash-in-the-pan trendiness. The goal of Art Class Curator seemed to be helping kids develop a lifelong love and art appreciation versus "Hey, look. I painted this fish."

Your questions are helping me to delve into much deeper learning, and my students are getting better at discussion-and then, making connections in their own work. Art Class Curator is awesome!

Interestingly, my lower performing classes really get engaged in these [lessons] and come away with some profound thoughts!

I had the most amazing 6th grade class today. They were jumping out of their seats with hands raised just to respond and give input. It was as if I was waving candy in front of them! They saw more and more and the ideas and interpretations unfolded. So cool!!! This is what makes teaching art so wonderful – thank you!!
Caroline G.
I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable resource you have through Art Class Curator. Not only do you have thought provoking activities and discussion prompts, but it saves me so much time in preparing things for myself! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface with your site.
