Contact Page - Summer Art Workshop in Barcelona, Spain
 Metáfora
is an international art school situated in an
old factory building in the centre of Barcelona,
capital of the Catalan region in Spain, on the
northeast Mediterranean coast. Metáfora is an
international centre of Contemporary Art and
Art-therapy, offering courses and activities of
both disciplines.
 The Summer Workshop: The Metáfora Summer
Intensive 2008 is a 2-week studio-based
contemporary art program in English, created for
students and professionals from the fields of
art and design. Teaching on the summer course is in English,
although most tutors also speak Spanish. On
completing the Summer Intensive participants receive a Diploma of attendance, as well as a brief statement
concerning his/her development, and the character
of the works produced.
The idea behind this workshop is
to create an international atmosphere where each
participant is provided with time for reflection
and self-definition. Students are divided into
groups, according to their area (“Pictorial
processes and Mixed Media” - different styles
and ways of working with painting, and “Object &
Space” - sculpture and other 3d work”).
Methodology: The
Summer Intensive consists of a combination of
programmed activities as well as time for
working in the studios. Each participant will
have a small personal studio space for the two
weeks. The methodology of our courses does not
simply consist in teaching techniques or
providing students with knowledge about
materials and ways of working.
At Metáfora, we
believe that the practice of contemporary art
requires time for reflection and debate, and
most of our program revolves around the term
"artistic intention". Through tutorials,
interviews and technical advice, we help each
student formulate his/her art project, focusing
on the individual processes and agenda of each
participant.
