Explore Gaudi – Discover Your Creative Self
Revitalize your life in Barcelona - a world of culture, architecture and inspiration. Imagine yourself immersed in the deep, rich history of the creative and enchanting Gaudi universe. See yourself sitting in the landscape of the Mediterranean coastline, sketching in the opulent parks and Art Nouveau lined boulevards, smelling the aroma of cafes and tapas restaurants, or listening to the sounds of the bustling, vibrant art scene of Barcelona.
In our world of automation and hustle, our human need for artistic creativity and imaginative expression can often get smothered, or sometimes, even lost. Creativity nurtures the soul, enhances brain development, improves communication and is simply vital to life's adventure. Many professionals find themselves overwhelmed in the corporate or institutional world and desire an outlet for their inner artist to grow and bloom. Now is the time to explore and flourish in your true talents.
The Inspiration of Antonio Gaudi
Learn how to awaken your creativity. We use Antonio Gaudi as your inspiration, your ‘muse’ throughout the course. We will challenge you to understand, for example, his use of light and shadow and then use this for your inspiration as you revive your creative spirit and open your mind. We will teach you to build confidence using art and drawing as medium. How can Gaudi’s artistry, his mastery, inspire you? Ask yourself:
