Spanish Program BARCELONA and MODERNISM _________________________________________________________________________________ Spanish Program BARCELONA AND MODERNISM (Taught in English) Total number of hours: 30 h I. COURSE CHARACTERISTICS: The Barcelona and Modernism module is a multidisciplinary course which offers students the possibility to come into contact with Spanish language and culture through art and the history of Catalan Modernism. The module encourages students to discover and view Barcelona as an open-air museum in which glass, mosaics and buildings allow them to reconstruct one of the city's most important historical periods. The module integrates Spanish language study with a range of aspect of modernist (architecture, sculpture, painting, decorative arts, literature and music). The course is complemented with guided tours of some of Barcelona's most emblematic landmarks. II. PRE-REQUISITES: None (taught in English) III. METHODOLOGY: In both its objectives and methodology, the course is highly communicative in its focus. This means that learning outcomes are set through capacity for language use and that course content is derived directly from the objectives established. The methodology is based on the practical use of Spanish with appropriate reflection to help in the assimilation of the language. IV. EVALUATION SYSTEM: The final grade for the course is distributed in the following way. Oral presentation (10%) CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT Work done outside class (20%) 60% Progress test (20%) Participation, effort and commitment throughout the course (10%) FINAL EXAM 40% V. GRADING AND CLASSIFICATION SCHEME: In assessed pieces of work and the final exam, the following grading and classification scheme will be used: Final course grade: 60% continuous assessment + 40% final exam Quantitative grade Qualitative grade The student will fail in any of the following cases: a) When they obtain a result of less than 5 out of 10 for the final course grade. b) When they obtain a result of less than 5 out of 10 on the final Unsatisfactory exam. Performance(Insuficiente) c) When they do not meet the Idiomes UPF's attendance policy. 5,0 - 6,9 Adequate Performance (Aprobado) 7,0 – 8,9 Good Performance (Notable) 9,0 – 10 Excellent Performance (Excelente) © Idiomes UPF BARCELONA AND MODERNISM – Spanish Program _________________________________________________________________________________ VI. ATTENDANCE POLICY: As language study is a cumulative process which requires continual practice to assimilate knowledge and skills, attendance is obligatory. In order to receive a final grade, students must attend a minimum of 80% of classes. In exceptional cases, and for justified reasons authorized by the appropriate committee, students will be allowed to be absent for more than 20%, providing that absence is not greater than 40% of the course. In order to ensure the maximum benefit is gained, students are required not only to attend classes, but also to participate actively in class and to dedicate a minimum of one hour of study outside of class on a daily basis. During this time, students will undertake tasks set by the professor and revise material covered. Students must submit work in strict accordance with the deadlines set. Failure to do so will result in the assignment mark being lowered by one point for every day after the hand-in date. VII. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of the course the student will be able to: Recognize the characteristic elements of the movement Demonstrate sufficient analytical elements to understand the beginning and end of this artistic movement Know the different areas in which modernist element can be found Identify the most significant modernist building in Barcelona and Spain and their architects Identify modernist paintings and sculpture and the principal Catalan representatives of the movement Identify the modernist characteristics of works of art Identify modernist traits in street furniture Recognize the principal media in which modernist intellectuals participated VIII.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

The old walls were demo- lished in 1854, and a new city sprang up. The emerging bourgeoise, enriched thanks in parti- cular to the textile sector, was looking for ways to show off its power. This was a golden age for the architects, the real protagonists of Mo- dernisme, who broadened horizons and excer- cised their skills in other fields.

  • Modernist Movement
    THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE MODERNISMIN ARCHITECTURE AND THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND, CONSEQUENTLY, IN DESIGN, CAN BE CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTIC MOVEMENT IN MODERN CATALAN CULTURE. THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT are not only important as architects but also for their extensive humanistic training. Although Gaudí had the same training, his circumstances were very dif- ferent from those of the others. Our study of this architectural movement must be seen as a debate with the central idea of Gaudí, of whom we spoke in the odernism in architecture and the first issue of this magazine, as a count- sought with faith and courage and industrial arts and, consequently, erpoint to the other two architects, without renouncing the past.

His name was Guillem Rovirosa. Rovirosa studied Management in the Electrical and Mechanical Industries School of Barcelona Industrial University. It was a very interesting Catalan institution that brought together a group of very singular students. As much as possible, I have reconstructed the lives of each member of this group, as well as that of Rovirosa, since 1917, and have observed several affinities among them. They were all people with a deep interest in any technical novelty and shared an important ability to innovate (a great propensity for creativity). Rovirosa was himself an inventor of most diverse types of electromechanical solutions, from mechanical toys to cinematographic projectors and even an electromechanical method to make wines age faster – perhaps much faster – than usual1; his friend Josep Grau was one of the promoters of using X-rays in Spain2.
