Your unit sounds fascinating and I'm sure your students take away so much from it. You've inspired me to break out an old, dusty art book to look at Guernica and other works by Picasso. Perhaps someday I'll be lucky enough to see them in person.Molly Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975100905434379155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489583182385276767.post-33138154972781196482017-03-14T07:32:30.776-06:002017-03-14T07:32:30.776-06:00I once saw "Guernica" myself, but had fo...I once saw "Guernica" myself, but had forgotten much of the history of this masterpiece.
