Mr. Duez will show 10-20 minutes of the video and we'll discuss the impact of art on war and peace. Is Guernica propaganda?
Agree or disagree: Great art can instruct us on the obligations of being human. Explain your answer.
“Guernica is to painting what Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is to music: a cultural icon that speaks to mankind not only against war but also of hope and peace. It is a reference when speaking about genocide from El Salvador to Bosnia.” — Alejandro Escalona, on the 75th anniversary of the painting's creation
