Foreign language teachers know the benefits of bringing art into their classrooms. Works of art are cultural artifacts that convey rich cultural perspectives. Integrating art into the foreign language curriculum facilitates visual learning, providing valuable opportunities to help the students develop visual thinking. Art can also be an effective resource to enhance oral and written communication. In this article, the author shares his experience in designing a unit on Spanish self-portraits for students enrolled in Spanish IV. The unit was inspired by an exhibit in Madrid's Prado Museum. Having students paint their own self-portraits at the end of the unit, emulating the artists that they studied, could perhaps be a way to connect the topic to their personal experience.
