Learning through art 2025

Introduction Exhibition Did you know that Resources Gallery

This exhibition presents the work done by more than one hundred children, aged 6 to 12, during the 2024/2025 school year in the context of Learning through Art, an educational program of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. This initiative brings artists to the classroom, where they work with teachers in projects designed to incorporate art into the school curriculum.

Through artistic exploration and discussion, the schoolchildren deal with the contents of the elementary school subjects in creative and personal ways. The activities are designed to connect art to a variety of school areas—Natural and Social Science, Spanish/Basque, Math, and so on—as a way to explore and understand the world around the students.

This year, the projects focused on the seasons and their influence on nature; the effects of human action on the environment; how to camouflage into the natural world around us. They also learned about creation and activism and their possible impact on society, and the work of local artists. Through art and self-knowledge activities they also reflected on identity, at both the personal and the collective levels.

In their processes, the students resorted to a wide variety of disciplines and mediums—painting, sculpture, photography, and performance, among others. All the projects encouraged freedom of expression and emphasized the importance of creativity in education.
