Literacy 8_Guernica

You have completed LAW 6, which described the process of art criticism. By now, you should also have criticized (or critiqued) the painting Guernica and decided if it is good or bad, based on the art criticism theory called Emotionalism.

We are now going to use LAW standard 8 and an article about Guernica.

Standard 8 is:

Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is valid and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; identify false statements and fallacious reasoning.

What I Want You to Know:
I can trace an argument based upon the facts from the reading.
I can examine carefully the author’s claims in the text.
I can decide if the evidence from the reading is true and sufficient.
I can identify statements that are false and misleading.

Go to this link and read the article.
