Why are you interested in this subject? (Please be honest)
What would you like to learn with this subject? Do you have any expectation about this subject?
During the next three months we’ll run through the world of Art from the beginning of the 20th Century to the first avantgard movements. We’ll focus on three Spanish artists involved in the entrance of Art in the contemporary era:
Pablo Picasso
Salvador Dalí
Joan Miró.
We’ll see how the Spanish culture and their evolution and training periods abroad are expressed in their works. In order to understand all this, we’ll talk of different art movements and philosophical ideas and we’ll learn how to find these influences in their works. We will learn to analyze works of art locating them at the historical and cultural context.
And now, let’s play a game…
