We will pay attention to paintings made mainly during the thirties and forties and we will contextualize them to the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). We will analyze, among others, Guernica (1937) and we will read a poem by Rafael Alberti related to it.

Amate Paper
Time: 10.30 - 13.30
Place: National Hispanic Cultural Center.
Target audience: teachers and general public
Lecturer: Ma. Verónica Iglesias-Swanson.
Limit: 20 students.

In this workshop we will talk about amate paper, which is a paper made from the bark of different kinds of trees. We will look at how techniques to make it are similar to those used by pre-Hispanic cultures of Mexico. This will bring us closer to history and at the same time we will learn a new and versatile technique for making paper.

Why do some pictures catch our attention strongly? Where is their power? How can we analyze Visual Arts – a picture, a sculpture, a photogram? Knowing to analyze and interpret an image lets us use it. At the workshop we will discuss how images work, and how we can use them in class -especially at the Spanish class.
