step 3: interpretation Based on what you have learned so far about the artwork, what do you think the artist is trying to say? Why did the artist create this artwork? What do you think it means? What feelings do you have when looking at this artwork? Do you think there are things in the artwork that represent other things - symbols? Hughie Lee-Smith. The Piper. 1953. Oil on canvas.

Now you try it... Write a DESCRIPTION for the following slide.

Pablo Picasso. Guernica. 1889. Oil on canvas. (11 x 23 ft.).

Guernica History Spanish Dictator, Francisco Franco granted Adolf Hitler permission to practice his new war strategy of bombing cities on a small Basque village in Northern Spain. On April 27, 1937 - market day - Hitler’s air force bombed Guernica for three hours killing over 1600 people. Picasso began making sketches for the mural one week after the bombing and completed the canvas on June 6, 1937.

Analysis: Which principles of design did Picasso use? Visual Movement Variety Proportion Balance Unity Emphasis

Interpretation: What was Picasso trying to say? What is the bull a symbol of? Why does the texture on the horse look like newspaper? Why does all this happen in a room? Why are there two “lights”? Why does the warrior have a flower and a broken sword?

Judgment: Do you like it, or not - and why?
