The Spanish Civil War 1936 - 1939
Introduction:
• The administration at
Guggenheim-Bilbao
knows that we just
completed a lesson
regarding the Spanish
Civil War. They have
requested our help:
Task:

Knowledge of Spanish Civil War
Required
Wing of Museum needs artwork
relating to the Spanish Civil War.
Please supply us with 3 suggested
pieces and suggested audio/video.
BONUS: YOU may choose an
unknown artist whose work will
be shown in our museum.
Process:
• We will use the information we learned in
our review of the Spanish Civil War to
assist the Guggenheim-Bilbao in their
search for additional art pieces. We will
use the following plan to achieve our goals.
Step 1: More on the Spanish
Civil War:
• Each student will review Picasso’s Guernica, and
provide a biography on the painter, a report on
the subject, and your opinion on what the artist
was attempting to express.

ern2-25-99.asp
• You have now
completed your
review of Pablo
Picasso’s painting,
Guernica, and know
that it is one of the
first examples of
protest art.
• We will continue to
work on continuing to
gather information on
the Spanish Civil War.
Let’s move on to our
next task!
Step 2:
We will now divide into
teams of Three:
Each group will have
one of the following:
• A location expert.
• An architect expert
• An artist
The location expert will

Guggenheim museum in
Bilbao, Spain. Please use
the following sources:

the museum’s Spanish
Civil War wing. Please
provide an original piece,
choices include a
painting, photography, or
sculpture.
• Please provide a report
discussing how the
Spanish Civil War
influenced this piece.
Step 3: As a Group:
• Please decide on three
pieces to be added to the
Guggenheim-Bilbao
Spanish Civil War Art
wing. You may suggest
paintings that are with
other museums, war
propaganda posters, or
other sources. Please

each piece and why you
consider it an important
addition to the museum’s
collection.

Teacher Resources:
• If you do not have access to Preston’s book, The
Spanish Civil War, I suggest using the following
sites: http://www.wcml.org.uk/spainarch.html ,
or
http://www.ellonacademy.org.uk/history/higher,
%20int,%20cys%20pages/App…/spanish.html
• Suggestion: contact a local Art Historian to
speak to your class once the project is complete
to relate the project to career possibilities.
Teacher Resources, cont’d.
• Target audience is High School World History,
AP World History, and/or Art History students.
• Process: Please evaluate the amount of time you
have to spend on this project and allow sufficient
class time. However, I would suggest that the
individual work be completed prior to the group
setting so that each member has background
information sufficient to allow active group
participation.
Teacher Resources, cont’d.
• Technology needed: access to the internet,
word processing, possible digital camera,
art supplies, any books covering the
subject from your school library,
community members who might come in
and discuss living in Spain during Franco’s
time.
Conclusion:
• I hope you have enjoyed learning about art,
architecture, and history.
• One final question: Why do you think that
a wall specifically designed to hold
Picasso’s Guernica remains blank, and the
painting is likely to never be moved here?
