This is a charming HBO made-for-children movie, which tells the story of Francisco Goya's growing friendship with the daughter of his housekeeper. He's teaching her to paint. First Painter to the King of Spain for many years, Goya no longer has patience for Court intrigue. He's old and wants to be left alone to paint and teach. But Spain's reactionary king, served by an aggressive Inquisition, has other plans for Spain's greatest artist.
The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to Goya: Awakened in a Dream will help teachers and parents introduce children to the first modern artist, a man whose paintings presaged Romanticism, Impressionism, Expressionism and Surrealism.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below the first two sections of the Learning Guide to Goya: Awakened in a Dream.
Description: Francisco Goya (1746 - 1828) was one of the most accomplished and original painters of all time. His work predicted the dominant movements of modern art in the 19th and 20th centuries: Romanticism, Impressionism, Expressionism and Surrealism. Goya's ground breaking paintings served as an inspiration to French artists, such as the Impressionists, who broke away from the scholastic artistic traditions that prevailed in the second half of the nineteenth century.
In this film, Goya is an old man, threatened by the Inquisition and misunderstood by his only surviving son. Goya has hired a new housekeeper. He finds solace in his "Black Paintings" and in teaching his housekeeper's daughter how to paint.
This is another installment of the award winning Artists' Specials, created for HBO by Devine Entertainment. While Goya: Awakened in a Dream did not itself garner any awards, it is well made and interesting.
