GRADE 5 COLOUR FAMILIES.

Hot, cold and cool colours.

Making 2D images into 3D sculptures.
​

Grade 5 have been looking at the painting of Guernica by Pablo Picasso as a starting point to create a sculpture.
The painting
"Guernica" is also the name of a famous painting by Pablo Picasso, depicting the bombing of Guernica. Pablo Picasso, asked by the Spanish Republican government to paint a picture to decorate the Spanish Pavilion during the 1937World's fair in Paris, created a painting depicting the event and called it Guernica.
Picasso's Guernica depicts people, animals, and buildings wrenched by the violence and chaos of the carpet bombing. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war, and the cruety of bombing civilians.
After the fair, when the Republican government had fallen, Picasso refused to allow this painting, one of his most famous, to be displayed in Spain until after the end of the Franco regime. It therefore spent many years at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, but was repatriated after Franco's death. It is now in the Queen Sophia Museum in Madrid. The exact location was polemic in Spain, since Picasso's will stated that it should be at the Prado Museum. However as in the late 20th century the Prado moved all of its collections of art after the early 19th century to other nearby buildings in the city for reasons of space, the Sophia, which houses the capital's national collection of 20th centuryart, seems the appropriate place for it. A special gallery was constructed to at the Sophia to display Picasso's masterpiece to best advantage.
A copy of Picasso's Guernica is displayed on the wall of the United Nationsbuilding in New York City, at the entrance to the Security Council[?] room. It was placed there as a reminder of the horrors of war.
