APPROACHING ART VII

General Public

Museum Members

How to Look at Contemporary Art with Your Own Eyes
The onsite course series Approaching Art is an introduction for those who want to get basic knowledge and references in contemporary art.
Approaching Art VII offers the tools you need to appreciate and enjoy contemporary art—or maybe reject it—on the basis of rigorous criteria.
The Museum’s art program and other examples from the international art scene will be used to illustrate some of the concepts discussed in the course, which will focus on the origins and background of what we understand as “contemporary art,” review the formal and technical disruptions that resulted from the introduction of certain technologies in late-19th-century artistic practices, and finally analyze the situation of art today, from those approaches that seem to validate anything as art to those that challenge the reality of today’s global art.
Objetives 

<ul>
<li>To give an overview of Western modern and contemporary art using basic concepts and a specialized lexicon that enable participants to feel confident in the field, building their own criteria and critical views.</li>
<li>To share knowledge of specific artists and works as well as critical figures in the contemporary art scene, along with their influences and contributions, and their artistic, socio-political, and historical context.</li>
<li>To discuss the origins and background of contemporary art, the revolutionary technologies associated to it, and its development into today’s global art.</li>
<li>To shed light on women artists and give them the place they deserve in the history of 20th- and 21st-century art.</li>
<li>To encourage participants to look at art “with their own eyes,” experiencing the works physically, and to share new knowledge in practical ways during exclusive guided tours of the Museum exhibitions.</li>
</ul>

Online art courses Drawing in Contemporary Art

The online art courses of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao offer accessible yet rigorous training in key concepts and topics in the history of modern and contemporary art, addressed from current perspectives. Drawing on the contributions from experts in specific fields, these courses are inspired by the Museum’s Collection and its dynamic exhibition program.
Drawing was the first form of artistic representation used by man to communicate or convey ideas. Its development has followed the evolution of history and art since its emergence as such in the sixteenth century.
Moreover, a drawing, either on paper or in the mind, is often the starting point of the creative process for many artists – a sort of “skeleton” of their work. And many drawings have come to be considered as works of art in their own right, given their complexity, their uniqueness, or the skill with which they were drafted. Many artists in the old days were celebrated for their dexterity in the mastery of this technique, which continues to be a fundamental discipline in contemporary art.
Objectives 
This online course is aimed at:
<ul>
<li>Offering an overview of the history of drawing, illustrating it with pieces from the old masters, particularly Francisco de Goya, as a predecessor of contemporary drawing.</li>
<li>Reviewing non-Western drawing practices with an influence on contemporary drawing.</li>
<li>Highlighting the importance of drawing, both as a technique and as an independent discipline.</li>
<li>Illustrating all of the above with a selection of works from the Museum Collection that show the key role played by drawing in artists’ creative processes and accomplished works of art.</li>
</ul>
Conducted by: 
José Manuel Matilla, art historian, Chief Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Prado Museum.
Structure and contents Available from May 3
Availability 
The course will be available online for three months. Students will be able to access the course wherever they are, progressing at their own pace. Upon completing a module, they will be able to move on to the next one.

Courses Pop Art

The online art courses of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao offer accessible yet rigorous training in key concepts and topics in the history of modern and contemporary art, addressed from current perspectives. Drawing on the participation from experts in specific fields, these courses are inspired by the Museum Collection and its dynamic exhibition program.
Pop art was an art movement characterized by a return to representation, drawing inspiration from sources in popular and commercial culture—hence the name of the movement. Emerging in Britain in the 1950s, Pop art flourished in America in the 1960s, where a sudden boom in the economy triggered the growth of consumerism. Some of the artists in the Pop art movement reacted by incorporating images from mass culture and using techniques that emulated (or parodied) industrial production. Pop art drew on billboards, commercial ads, films, television, pulp magazines, comic strips, or even shop windows.
This course offers a broad overview of the relevance of Pop art and its various manifestations in the international art scene, its main representatives, and its influence on contemporary art practices.
Objectives
This online course is aimed at:
<ul>
<li>Analyzing the keys to the most salient characteristics of Pop art, as well as the social, political, economic, and cultural background that led to its emergence and development internationally.</li>
<li>Exploring the work of the leading Pop artists, including several women, and their most iconic creations.</li>
<li>Showing the influence of Pop art on other forms of culture beyond the visual arts, e.g. music or fashion.</li>
<li>Understanding the legacy of Pop art and its influence on contemporary art from a 21st-century perspective.</li>
</ul>
