Good morning class! Today for our first discussion on the class blog, we will be dissecting one of the most important pieces in art. The painting titled Guernica was a masterclass from that of Pablo Picasso. In 1937, he pushed the boundaries as far as scale and meaning with this painting that some think is his magnum opus. I want you to dissect this painting yourself. There will be two parts to this assignment.
1. Explain in detail what it is you think this painting is trying to convey. The story it's trying to tell, and why the colors and expressions might be of importance to the overall meaning. Explain what feelings it may invoke in you, whether it be anguish, stress, or sadness.
2. The second part of the assignment requires you to respond to at least two classmates and question why they think the way they do. Try to spark and conversation that could lead someone to a new theory or idea. I do not want one sentence answers or questions. Really try and understand, I want to see at least 3 sentences in your responses and a paragraph for your original post.
Assignment is due Friday, at 11:59 PM. Anything turned in after that will be marked as late and will be docked points to your total grade.
