The program will analyze the history of Spanish art. The first part will focus on Spanish architecture and will cover the following styles: Roman, Pre-Romanesque, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque. Some of the classes will be taught in the actual monuments. The second part will focus on Spanish painting, including the following painters: Velázquez, El Greco, Goya, Picasso, Dalí, and Miró. We will visit museums where many of their works are housed: Museo del Prado, Museo Reina Sofía, and Museo Thyssen Borsemiza. During the program we will have three field trips: Salamanca and Madrid (2 days each) and Bilbao to see the Guggenheim Museum, one of the emblematic monuments of contemporary art. We will also go to a flamenco show in Madrid.
