The artist’s eye
It was 1937. Spain, Pablo Picasso's home country was suffering from
a civil war, while he was living in Paris. On April 26th, the Spanish
government sent planes to bombard a small village in northern Spain
called Guernica. Guernica was completely destroyed. 1600 civilians were
killed. A._____________
Picasso was stunned by the photographs. He rushed
to his studio, where he quickly sketched the first images for the mural he
would call “Guernica”.
The cubist painting by Picasso, called “Guernica”, is an immense black
and white mural painted in oil. The mural depicts a scene of death,
violence, brutality, and helplessness. It shows the suffering people and
animals experience in the violence and chaos of a war. The overall scene is
within a room. There are humans, animals and buildings in this scene but
there seems to be no background. B.________ . On the right, there is
another woman trapped in a burning building.
The painting is very large: 349 x 776 cm. Despite its great size, it was
painted in less than two months. Picasso was so angry about what had
happened in Guernica that he wanted everybody to immediately take notice
of the brutal event. All the figures in the painting seem to be crammed
together and their mouths are open as though they are crying out.
C_______ .
D._______ The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as
they understand them”. Even though opinions about the exact meaning of
the images of the painting are numerous, there is no doubt that the
painting sends a strong antiwar message, not only about what happened in
Guernica but about the kind of suffering that takes place in any war.

Task 3.
Now, read the article in detail and put the missing paragraphs in place. Check
your answers.
1. On the left side of the painting we can see a mother holding her dead child.
A wide-eyed bull stands over the woman. At the bottom lies a fallen soldier,
still holding his broken sword from which a flower grows. In the centre
above the soldier is a horse whose body is pierced with a spear.
2. The next day, George Steer, a reporter working for The Times revealed the
destruction. By May, news of the massacre at Guernica had reached Paris.
Eyewitness reports filled the front pages of Paris papers.
3. Some people criticized Picasso's cubist style because they could not
understand his symbolism. Picasso answered his critics, “It isn’t up to the
painter to define the symbols.
4. We get the feeling that they can't get away from the horrors of war; they are
trapped in their suffering.

Task 4.
a. Read the article again. Underline any unknown words. Try to guess their
meaning from the context. As a class discuss the meanings of the words.
b. In pairs, scan the text and find the words below. Then, match them to their
definitions.
1. immense a. slaughter

7. interpret g. defenselessness

"The Wall of Brain"

Can we help our brains grow? What is a fixed and what a growth mindset? After having read, researched, discussed done questionnaires and come to serious conclusions about the power of the brain we managed to bring our brainpower together and create posters for the "Wall of Brain". 

Yes, we can (almost) all agree that the brain has the power to grow, change and help us succeed in anything we choose to do. It takes hard work and there is challenge and effort involved of course but it's all worth it in the end. The video below shows our work for the creation of Growth Brain Posters....
