This course is intended to be an active introduction to the history of art and design in Barcelona, for either new arrivals, or those who might already be familiar with the city. Taking the students out into Barcelona, the aim is to map the city’s cultural, political and economic fortunes as exemplified by art and design in every field: graphic, architecture, fashion, painting, sculpture and the decorative arts.

Its rich architectural heritage is explored: Romanesque, Gothic, ‘Modernista’, Gaudí, with the 1992 Olympic Games as most recent renaissance. We will see and understand the importance of artists like Picasso, Miró, Dalí and Tapies, together with current significant design referents (studios and stores).

Barcelona is situated as being an extraordinary focus for artistic activity, both within Europe and the wider international arena.The purpose of this course is both to gain a broad understanding of this city as vital, changing entity, community, whilst learning how to access all it has to offer, its resources such as libraries, shops, museums, within the setting of its infrastructure.

Art & Design Tour


“I wish to consider the course as making an art and design historical map of this city. The focus of our museum visits and talks is intended to provide each student with the necessary information and methods of enquiry to make this map, as a visual record, in whichever way they may choose: poetry, dialogues, pictures, their own designs and models and (where permitted), photography.

Throughout the course, I introduce various extra written materials, encouraging curiosity and stimulating an enquiring attitude. My method is to consider the nature of the changing role of art and the artist and designer throughout history and specifically as these grew and transformed in relation to Barcelona’s burgeoning industrial and maritime growth. It is also a profoundly human approach, whereby we can also meet people who are living and working here, whilst at the same time come together as a kind of student forum to discuss and explore ideas, experience and creativity”.

The course consists of 8 classes of 3 hours. The timetable is from 17.00-20.00 (with some possible variations according to the visit), Tuesdays & Thursdays (in Spanish) and Mondays & Wednesdays (in English).
