A Bit of Culture

In this Spanish Medium Review picture quiz you will be experiencing a bit of culture by looking at some of the arts. Culture is what defines a people, even a nation. That same culture can have tremendous impact on the emotions, beliefs and behaviors of people around the world, not only in the present time, but throughout history, both past and present. In short – culture is timeless. That is especially true with the culture of fine arts. In appreciation for culture, this quick picture quiz is going to introduce you to a little bit of culture that has helped to shape all of us.

Some cultural arts will bring back memories while others can take part in shaping our future. Whether it was past or present - each has helped to change us for the better, either directly or indirectly.

Using your Spanish vocabulary, you can now describe some of these wonders in Spanish. For each bit of culture that is shown in the quiz pictures, either locate the correct Spanish cultural word that will translate the capitalized word or that will fit into the blank space in the given sentence.

música

malabarista
músico
The first answer means musician (female). The second answer means drummer. The third answer means juggler and the last answer means musician (male).

6.
This patio is decorated in a ____ style.
Renacimiento
contemporáneo
comedia
moderno
The first answer means Renaissance. The second answer means contemporary. The third answer means comedy and the last answer means modern. You can now quickly eliminate the third answer. You really need to know a little about decorating styles to get this correct but it is easy to tell that it is not the Renaissance style. Think of King Henry VIII for that style. That leaves contemporary and modern. Contemporary has soft lines and more subdued colors whereas modern has straight lines and bold colors and patterns. Looking at the picture there are more straight lines in the furnishings and bold colors and patterns in the furnishings. Therefore, this is a modern designed patio.
