Are you a fan of cakes? What is your favorite type of dessert? Are you familiar with Pop Art? It is an art movement inspired by popular culture—hence the name. Artists in the Pop Art movement drew inspiration from everyday objects and images—even food! In this activity, we will take a look at the Pop art works displayed in the Museum to think about such topics as eating and consumption. Then, we will make a very sweet sculpture, using a slice of cake as our model. A workshop for our senses. A world of flavors lost and remembered, pleasant aromas, and fascinating textures!

ART Space: Art Adventures

ART Space invites all family members to engage in discovery and creation. This month, we will take a look at the work of Giovanni Anselmo, who used simple materials found in nature, such as stone, water, or cotton, to reflect on fundamental questions: time, transformation, weight… To Anselmo, art was a tool to understand the world around us. Would you like to follow a similar approach? Try different materials and use them together to make your own sculpture!

Architecture Lab III

In the third term of our Architecture Lab III, we will discuss urban networks, both visible and invisible; we will draw trees and build nests; we will learn to identify species of plants and birds in order to identify other inhabitants of our cities; we will focus on the senses through which we perceive architecture and its surroundings: the close relationship between sound and space, between touch and the texture of materials; we will take a look at the city through a magnifying glass for a detailed view of its flowers and insects; also, we will look at it from a distance to get an idea of its true size, as if in an impressionist painting. By the end of the term, we will become walking, thinking buildings in the city we would like to live in.
Conducted by: Maushaus

Fundación Crecer Juntos
Third term: from April 13 to June 15
April 13: Trees and Leaves
All the knowledge and wisdom we need to build a city can be found in nature. Trees can be considered the first natural buildings: many different species live in them. Since the dawn of time, human beings have used wood for their architectural feats. Trees grow by fractal branching, iteration by iteration. In so doing, they give us information about the seasons and shield us from heat and rain.
April 20: Nests
When we look at the common tailorbird and see how it builds its nest—sowing leaves together with plant fiber to make a cradle—we wonder whether it got this skill from humans or rather if it was the other way around. The dexterity and delicacy of some creatures when it comes to building a shelter for themselves show how much animals care for their families. Inspired by them, we will build our own nest-homes.
April 27: The Forms of Sound
If you are willing to listen, buildings will talk to you. They have a lot to tell you in terms of size, location, age, materials, purpose, and residents. The voice of a building, the way in which they express themselves, is essential to understand architecture. We can relate to space not only on the basis of light, touch, or temperature, but by means of sound as well. Close your eyes and listen carefully.
May 4: A Tactful Approach
Buildings can be appreciated by means of touch too. By feeling the texture, the roughness, the temperature, and the tectonics of materials, we can learn many things about the spaces we inhabit. We just need to close our eyes and touch. In this workshop, we will make a sample book to learn a lot of interesting things about the materials used in buildings.
May 11: I Spy with My Little Eye
Drawing with your eyes can be an interesting task. It means identifying forms and shapes before the first strokes reach the paper. This can be applied to contemplating architecture. Knowledge can enhance our understanding, as well as our drawing skills. In this lab, we will take an observational approach to architecture, resorting to different dynamics and representation techniques.
May 18: A Room with a View
City buildings shelter us. A great deal of what happens in our lives takes place in them. Looking out the windows, we can learn what is going on outside. Conversely, looking in from the street, we can imagine the stories unfolding inside, knowing that every home is a world. In this workshop, we will think and talk about city buildings, and the ways people have of living in them.
May 25: Walking Buildings
In this lab, we will create in a performative way an urban environment populated by colorful buildings. Playing a fun game with props, we will become walking buildings to think about cities and the relationship between them and the natural environment.
June 1: Urban Structures
Living in cities requires not only buildings, public spaces, or natural areas. We also need structures to communicate and get around. In this lab session, we will build connecting structures for the various spaces that make the urban layout.
June 8: Networks
Until recently, communication between people took place in the streets or in other physical spaces in the city. Today, we have “digital cities,” where we have other ways of connecting that cannot be seen, but are pretty much real. In this lab session, we will play games focusing on the city we live in as a maze of networks, with zillions of nodes, connections, and intersections.
June 15: Solving the Problem
In this workshop, we will try to find the solution to some of the problems faced by people in cities. Each of us will be an expert in a particular area of the urban world: construction noise, sidewalk flooding, picnic areas nearby, and so on.

In the third term of our Architecture Lab III, we will discuss urban networks, both visible and invisible; we will draw trees and build nests.

Drawing: A Beginners Course II

Drawing helps us think. In this final term, we will explore the possibilities of drawing as a tool for perception, and we will see how drawing changes our relationship to the world.
We will begin by analyzing how to use drawing to perceive reality. When we draw, we stop to look at things differently, broadening our view. In this workshop, we will learn to draw the structure of things beyond their appearance, and to draw the images projected by our imagination too.
The results will be surprising and fun. Throughout the course, we will learn a variety of drawing techniques—charcoal, watercolors, markers, etc.—and try them on various mediums.
Conducted by: Raúl Domínguez Pazo
Third term: from April 20 to May 25
April 20: Drawing and Thinking
How can we make our thoughts and ideas visible? We will try showing what happens inside us, the way we feel, the things we want to happen, by drawing them.
April 27: Seen and Done
We will visit some of the Museum’s galleries to make drawings. Usually, when we go to an exhibition, we just stare at the artworks on display. How does our perception of them change when we look at them and draw?
May 4: Structure and Surface
Looking at the surface of things, we will try to guess what is inside them: What lies behind a cloth? What does the skeleton of a bird look like? What do the walls in a building hide?
May 11: Maps of Imaginary Places
We will design the city we would like to live in, an unknown planet, or just the land that comes out of the tip of our fingers as we draw.
May 18: Unheard-of Associations: Frottage
Frottage (French: “rubbing”) is a technique in which paper or canvas is placed over a grainy surface and rubbed with a crayon or charcoal, thus recreating the texture of a variety of surfaces and objects. With the help of overlapping shapes and weaves, we will create unexpected compositions.
May 25: Looking at Music, Listening to Drawing
Can we make a visual representation of sound and music? Exploring the correspondences between music and drawing, we will see how to express our inner experience by means of strokes and colors.

Drawing helps us think. In this final term, we will explore the possibilities of drawing as a tool for perception, and we will see how drawing changes our relationship to the world.

ART Space: Creativity Lab

In this ART Space activity, we will draw inspiration from the colorful works of Pop art and the cunning ways devised by Pop artists to work. Some resorted to industrial materials and techniques to emulate mass production. Would you like to try this formula? Use multiple templates and colors to make your own mass-produced artworks, inspired by everyday images taken out of context.

Feel, Play, Create

Vibration, creativity, conscious touch, intuitive movement, focus, breathwork, active listening… Play, sense, feel… to live in the moment.
Against the background of the Giovanni Anselmo exhibition, we will explore a series of ideas to awaken our senses during our tour of the exhibition and later in the Education Space.
Inspired by Anselmo’s works, this play-and-creation workshop stimulates our senses in connection with matter and energy, inviting us to rely on creative intuition. Resorting to enjoyable sensory dynamics, we will learn to practice mindfulness.

Books Alive! Big Questions

A storytelling activity in English for children to get acquainted with the most fascinating stories and acquire oral communication skills as they play creative games.
Can you touch a star? What will you look like when you are older? Some questions have no easy answers… Perhaps looking at the works of Giovanni Anselmo in the Museum, you will come across some of them… Take a look, take your time, let curiosity guide you, think about stories that fuel your dreams… You will try your hand at various ways of making art: paint dripping, rolling marbles, soaking cotton in paint, and others. The results of the experiments will be amazing!

Books Alive! Big Questions | Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

What is there beneath your feet? And behind the walls around you? Pipes, wires, ducts, drains and sewers… Drawing inspiration from the works of artist June Crespo, we will come up with stories set in hidden places. As you visit the exhibition, think about the ways in which the works are interpreted and the things they suggest. Let the art surprise you, take a close look, and make your own connections. In the workshop afterwards, try hard and soft materials, compare and contrast natural and man-made elements, and connect them to tell your own made-up stories, set in imaginary lands.

Books alive! Art is Everywhere 

An amusing story is the starting point of this activity in English combining reading, creative play, and art. You will discover how art can be everywhere – not just in the galleries of a museum but also on the streets or even at home. Are you ready to find it? You will also be encouraged to explore some of the strategies used by the artists in the Pop Art movement; for instance, taking objects, portraits, paintings, or comic strips out of their original context and transforming them into something new by resorting to intervention, humor, and irony. Are you ready to do the same?

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>
