Module 15 part 2

1. Use the vocabulary you have learned in class to describe this artwork or performance in detail.

Guernica by Pablo Picasso was created by using oil paints, it also lacks color and has many different images within the painting. All of the animals and humans figures that was used int he painting are all in different proportions , it makes the picture look unrealistic. In the picture the elements of lines, shape and form was used throughout this painting to give it it's own personality. In the picture, i can see broken swords and faces that look like they are in pain, so this picture must have a deper meaning to it. 

2. What processes were used to create this work? What social influences might the artist be responding to and why?

I think that a lot of emotion was used in order to create this piece of art. It showed human and animal figures, but their bodies were disproportionate and combined together.  I think that it might have been personal problems that influenced him to create this piece and also the surroundings of were he lived.

3. What is the relationship of this work to the time and society in which it was created? Describe the symbols used to express this relationship.

During the time of this painting their was a war in action. So the painting represented the amount of fear that was coming from everyone. what was used to show this were the wounded man and broken swords that are in the painting. You can tell by the look of the faces in the picture that they are going through pain and is being attacked. 

4. Identify elements in the work that evoke a persuasive or emotional response. Be specific about what those responses are and why.

What stands out emotionally is the expressions of the men faces in the pictures. It shows suffering and a great emotion that fear is present. Something else that stands out is, in the picture their is a mans arm on the floor holding a broken sword. Showing how their has been death.

5. Evaluate what you perceive to be the strengths and weaknesses of the work.  Apply discipline specific vocabulary and concepts when describing your point of view.

I was have to say a strength would be the lack of color, it allows that audience to focus only on the painting and not to be distracted by the colors that could have been used. A weakness would be the use of text in part of the picture, it can catch some people attention and draw away from the art itself.
