- Creativity and Movement in Contemporary Spain

Catalog description

This course will explore the nature of creativity through the works of seven groundbreaking Spanish artists across multiple disciplines: Picasso, Dalí, Maruja Mallo, Arrabal, Buñuel, Almodóvar, and Calatrava. It will examine how their innovations reshaped artistic norms, challenged cultural conventions, and redefined creativity itself. The curriculum raises thought-provoking philosophical questions about creativity, such as the impact of cultural background on creativity, the role of failure in artistic innovation, the balance between originality and constraints, how societies define and value creativity differently, and the connection between storytelling, social change, activism, and ethical responsibility.
