This course focuses on how Public Art, Graffiti and Urban Interventions have an important cultural value to a forever developing city. Urban environments with a strong public art expression give communities a stronger sense of place and identity. In the first part of the course, students will develop an understanding of the fundamental elements which help us look at and observe painting and sculpture.

This foundation will then be used in order to further analyze the content and intentions of Spanish and International artists' work that contribute to a local cultural sense of identity.

The second part of the program looks specifically at Public works of art as Urban Interventions with reference to the cityscape of Barcelona world renowned for its development of urban spaces. In order to maintain the course as close to real artistic practice, there will be scheduled visits to various museums and public spaces.

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 Gaudi. 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. 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. Cross-Cultural Management.
