Vincent Kray - Guernica Project One Love 2024

The Guernica Project

For this project my group and I were tasked with figuring out how we can grow as a society through conflict. We researched different conflicts going on throughout the world and made art to express them. In Art, we studied different artistic styles inspired by Pablo Picasso’s Guernica and used a variety of references and painting techniques, such as pattern, unity, and gradients, to create our section of a modern recreation of the piece. In Chemistry, we explored how pigments are used to produce paint, then selected our own pigment percentages to create a custom green paint that we later used in our Guernica project.

Food For Thought

For the Cook-off project in AP World History, we studied the Columbian Exchange and learned how different foods originated in either the Eastern or Western Hemisphere. After Ms. Cain assigned each group a hemisphere, we were challenged to create a dish using only ingredients from that region. My group was assigned the Eastern Hemisphere, so we used foods like peppers, ground beef, rice, and chicken to create our final dish. In Art class, we connected this project to cultural design by choosing a culture and creating dishware inspired by its ceramic style. My group selected Native American pottery, researched traditional Native American ceramics, and then created a fork, two bowls, and a plate using authentic patterns and designs. We also used the coil method in both our prototypes and final pieces, which reflects a technique commonly used in Native American pottery.
