Driving Question: How can art, like Picasso’s Guernica, be used to creatively express the impact of societal conflict and promote activism?
Driving Question Answer: Art like Picasso’s Guernica powerfully captures the horrors of societal conflict, using emotional imagery to raise awareness and inspire activism against violence and injustice.
For this project, in Visual Art Comp II, we promoted activism through a recreation of Picasso's "Guernica," in World Literature we created PSA videos and propaganda posters, and in Chemistry we created a piece of art along with an artist statement that conveyed artistically how neurotransmitters as well as art cause emotion.
For our artists statement video, we were supposed to be on camera, each person have a part and be in our full uniform. Our artists statement was made in order for us to explain our chosen conflict, why it matters and how people can create a change with his conflict.
Our Guernica project by boldly highlighting the serious issue of gun violence, a conflict that affects many lives today. In Art class, we explored major global problems, and Chloe, Larry, Cameron, and I chose gun violence to create a powerful propaganda piece that grabs attention, spreads awareness, and pushes for change.
For our propaganda poster we were meant o find an issue that isn't talked about enough or is something tat we find true to our heart and want to make a change about it. Our propaganda poster is supposed have 2 images, a slogan, a clear representation on what kind of audience you are referring to and a paragraph on why you chose this and to go into detail about your poster.
Our PSA is about our chosen conflict that we chose in our groups that we wanted to spread awareness about. The video should close to 30 seconds to a minute long.
