During this project, we learned about many different conflicts going on currently and also in the past. For our entry event, we went to the movies and saw the movie Bob Marley: One Love. This was to show us different conflicts that were going on in the past in places like Jamaica. In World Literature, we read the book Night by Elie Wiesel and learned about the horrible conditions going on in the Holocaust during World War II. We also made propaganda poster's and PSA's about current conflicts going on during the present time. My PSA was on drug cartels and my propaganda poster was on gun violence and school shootings. We even had to write research papers as well. In Art, we learned about Pablo Picasso's Guernica and attempted to recreate the Guernica on our own with different conflicts. In Spanish, we learned about different types of trafficking in Latin America. We had to create a Public Service Announcement and presentation on the type of trafficking we chose (my group chose Drug Trafficking). In Chemsitry, we learned about the make up of paint. Considering our Guernica color was green, we attempted to create green paint and painted it on our Guernica.
For the entry event, we took a virtual tour of the Holocaust Museum and saw different artifacts from the Holocaust. Then, we went to the movies and saw the movie Bob Marley: One Love. We learned about conflicts happening during the time period of his life.
In this portion of the project, we had to make a Public Service Announcement on a current, ongoing conflict. My group picked drug cartels. This PSA was used in order for us to convince people to report and stay away from drugs and cartels.
This video is my groups' Artist Statement on our section of the Guernica. We talk about why we picked the topic of drug cartels for our conflict and statistics about our conflict.
