~Project Summary~
Our project centered around Pablo Picasso’s iconic painting Guernica, a powerful anti-war artwork created in response to the 1937 bombing of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Picasso’s original piece uses stark symbolism and distorted forms to express the pain, chaos, and suffering inflicted by war on innocent civilians. Inspired by Guernica’s raw emotional power and political message, we repainted the scene using imagery drawn from current real-world conflicts. Instead of warplanes and shattered buildings, our reinterpretation highlights modern struggles such as inequality in healthcare, systemic racism, and the refugee crisis. We aimed to show that while the context may change, human suffering and injustice remain global issues. In addition to the visual reinterpretation, we created a public service announcement (PSA) to raise awareness about these issues, particularly focusing on disparities in healthcare access. Our goal was to extend Picasso’s message of protest into today’s world, encouraging viewers to reflect on the conflicts that still demand our attention and action.
Geometry Cubism
Cubism, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, breaks down objects into geometric forms and reassembles them in an abstract way. Shapes may overlap, be viewed from multiple perspectives, or be fragmented into smaller sections. Our assignment was to create an image using cubism and incoorperating 5 3d shapes which was a pyramid, rectangualr prism, cyldinder, and a cube. I chose to create the face of a man. I feel like the cone was the easiest to use and and the cube was the hardest. Geometry changes the way you think about art because now you can spot different shapes in every work of art
Literature PSA/Propaganda
As part of our Guernica-inspired project, we created a public service announcement (PSA) that sheds light on a modern conflict: racial inequality in healthcare. Our PSA tells the story of a Black man who was denied life-saving medication and ultimately died as a result—an all-too-real scenario that reflects systemic bias and neglect within medical systems. The PSA is designed to be emotionally impactful and thought-provoking. It uses a combination of narration, visuals, and sound to draw viewers into the personal tragedy while also highlighting the broader issue. We included facts and statistics about racial disparities in healthcare, showing that this is not an isolated case but part of a widespread pattern
I also created a propaganda poster to reflect a real world problem. In my propaganda, i used bold words, and the color red to emphasize the problem of the gender wage gap. I also used a misleading nature, like most propaganda did during the spanish civil war, WWI, and WWII, so that I could bring attention to my cause/conflict.
Chemistry Emotion Chemicals
In chemistry, I illustrated the bull from Guernica with stress chemicals like cortisol to show the emotional weight of the actual civil war in Spain that where, people felt fear, anger, hope, and grief. The conflict divided families and left lasting emotional scars. In my artwork, we drew sharp lines and bold shapes around the bull to show stress and movement. This project helped me understand how art and science are connected. Learning about the chemicals in our brain helps us understand how we feel and why we act the way we do.
ChemVas Guernica Painting
we chose the conflict of vaping and its effect on youth stress. It’s important because it shows a fight for control—between big companies and personal health. For our project, we reimagined Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to show the dangers of vaping and how it can lead to death. Just like Picasso used strong images to show the pain and destruction of war, we used emotional and symbolic visuals to show how vaping—especially among young people—has become a serious and deadly problem.
