Structures of Contemporary Art: The Everlasting Question of How Works of Art Are Created and What They Mean

The online art courses of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao offer accessible yet rigorous training in key concepts and topics in the history of modern art, addressed from contemporary perspectives.

Drawing on contributions from experts and based on the Museum’s Collection and its dynamic program, offering a wide range of different activities, the courses are designed to give participants an overview of the subjects under study while awakening their curiosity and kindling their desire to study and learn.

Objectives

This online course is aimed at:

  • Exploring the reasons why artists create art, emphasizing the importance of the creative processes (both physical and mental) that lead to the creation of works of art.
  • Analyzing how the stories and messages conveyed by artists through a variety of visual languages cause moods, feelings, and responses in the viewer, thus adding a beneficial layer to art.
  • Focusing on the power of art, as well as on the artist’s commitment to the writing and rewriting of history on the basis of personal perspective and historical context.
  • Highlighting the future potential of art, based on the understanding of the present.
