DESCRIPTION
Modernism is the most idiosyncratic, creative and original of all European Art Nouveau movements. It also gives Barcelona its distinctive image and brings to mind the name of Gaudí. But a general overview of this style will always be slightly misleading just because in Modernism the art is in the detail, and details are what general overviews leave out. This course offers the opportunity to discover the master works of Barcelona?s Art Nouveau architecture and the marvels of design contained in them. The history and cultural context of Modernism will be explained in the classroom, but this course will give special emphasis to the outdoors practice. Students will do sketches in front of the buildings and in the museum discovering and appreciating the often hidden qualities of the flowing Art Nouveau lines. The approach will be much more personal and accurate than if given in the strictly academic fashion.
