UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS STUDY PICASSO’S GUERNICA
Students in Rafael Moyano's Advanced Spanish IV class studied Pablo Picasso's famous painting Guernica as part of the unit: "El arte como espejo" or "Art as a mirror". The class studied its imagery of the Spanish Civil War, as an important prelude to World War II, Nazi Germany, and the rise of fascism.

Since the original painting is very large (25' 6" x 11' 6") students reflected on it in Sterling Auditorium to get a sense of the impact the size and the message had on viewers in Spain and the rest of the world. Though the symbolism of the images are disturbing, students understood they also send a message for world peace.
