Valentina Bilbao CURRICULUM CURRICULUM 2 Valentina Bilbao is a visual artist, born in Caracas, Venezuela. She discovered her love of painting, drawing, and poetry at a young age. She dedicated herself to learning new techniques that allowed her to further develop her artistic skills. She felt the need to convey her knowledge, so she created the Drawing and Painting Workshop “Pinceladas”, which had children and youth of different ages. Valentina continued to dabble in art and received more training at the School of Visual Arts, while at the same time she studied Psychology. Her artwork captures a full and complete expression of emotions such as joy, passion and love with spontaneity, energy, and strength through a wide range of colors, textures, shapes, and figures, making all of her artwork comprehensive and rich in content. In addition, her artwork has balance and harmony, which is the result of all the elements in the right proportions coming alive and containing a constant motion. Color is the main character of her work, which all other elements are combined. This technique is the result of admiration, and study of the different movements of art, which shows an extraordinary capacity for synthesis and integration. CURRICULUM 3 My paintings carry a message of love, energy, bliss, absolute dedication, and passion. My artistic process is reflected onto my artwork through My passion for life inspires me to bring positive emotions music. Music becomes my air.

Known all over the world for his buildings, many of which have attained iconic status, Frank Gehry has revolutionised architecture’s aesthetics, its social and cultural role, and its relationship to the city. It was in Los Angeles, in the early 1960s, that Gehry opened his own office as an architect. There he engaged with the California art scene, becoming friends with artists such as Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Larry Bell, and Ron Davis. His encounter with the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns would open the way to a transformation of his practice as an architect, for which his own, now world-famous, house at Santa Monica would serve as a manifesto. Frank Gehry’s work has since then been based on the interrogation of architecture’s means of expression, a process that has brought with it new methods of design and a new approach to materials, with for example the use of such “poor” materials as cardboard, sheet steel and industrial wire mesh.

Blanton Museum to Exhibit 'Making Africa: a Continent Of
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACTS: Carlotta Stankiewicz, 512.475.6784, [email protected] Penny Snyder, 512.471.0241, [email protected] BLANTON MUSEUM TO EXHIBIT MAKING AFRICA: A CONTINENT OF CONTEMPORARY DESIGN Exhibition featuring the work of over 120 creatives sheds new light on contemporary African design AUSTIN, Texas—September 11, 2018— The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin will present Making Africa: A Continent of Contemporary Design from October 14, 2018 to January 6, 2019 in the Sarah and Ernest Butler Gallery. Making Africa showcases the work of over 120 artists and designers from and within Africa working in an exhilarating range of media including sculpture, fashion, furniture, architecture, film, photography, maps, digital comics, graphic and web design, and more. The exhibition presents Africa as a hub of experimentation—and as a driving force in the development of design in the twenty-first century. Making Africa reconsiders and expands definitions of both design and Africa—a shift in perspective symbolized by Kenyan artist Cyrus Kabiru’s sculptural C-Stunner eyeglasses made of found materials (2012). The exhibition offers a vision of Africa in the twenty-first century as a place of unbounded optimism, rapid growth, and massive cultural transformation. This spirit echoes that of the mid- twentieth century, when a young generation of Africans, celebrating their liberation from colonization, self-assuredly asserted themselves on a global stage. The exhibition draws parallels to that era by juxtaposing select examples of mid-twentieth-century art and design with contemporary works. “The Blanton is thrilled to present this deeply insightful and relevant exhibition to Austin’s creative community,” said Blanton director Simone Wicha.

A Case Study of Santiago Calatrava's Architectural Designs
European International Journal of Science and Technology ISSN: 2304-9693 www.eijst.org.uk AESTHETICS OF STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM: A CASE STUDY OF SANTIAGO CALATRAVA’S ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS OMALE Reuben Peters 1 and Momoh Victor 2 1,2 Department of Architecture, School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo state, Nigeria Email: [email protected] 1 and [email protected] 2 Abstract After building projects have been completed and inhabited by either Clients or Users of the buildings, such buildings begin to exist on their own with little or no information about the designer who conceived the idea behind the designs. This phenomenon leaves interested lay public and young architects curious about whom the designer is. This study aims at showcasing the design style of famous architect, Santiago Calatrava – a Spanish born architect of the post-modernist movement, whose architectural projects can best be described as awesome and breathtaking masterpieces. He is a neofuturist architect, a structural engineer, a sculptor and a painter. This work also studied his early life as a young architect and his inspirations for innovation and creativity which was motivated by his love for biology and anatomy. Lessons where drawn from the life and times of this great architect with many laurels, among which is the AIA gold medal and the IstructE gold medal. Some of his popular projects include; Milwaukee art museum, Wisconsin, U.S.A, the Queen Sofia palace for the arts, auditorio de Tenerife in Canary, Spain and the turning torso building in Malmo, Sweden, just to mention a few among many.

The Vision of a Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
HARVARD DESIGN SCHOOL THE VISION OF A GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO In a March 31, 1999 article, the Washington Post? posed the following question: "Can a single building bring a whole city back to life? More precisely, can a single modern building designed for an abandoned shipyard by a laid-back California architect breath new economic and cultural life into a decaying industri- al city in the Spanish rust belt?" Still, the issues addressed by the article illustrate only a small part of the multifaceted Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. A thorough study of how this building was conceived and made reveals equally significant aspects such as getting the best from the design architect, the master handling of the project by an inexperienced owner, the pivotal role of the executive architect-project man- ager, the dependence on local expertise for construction, the transformation of the architectural profession by information technology, the budgeting and scheduling of an unprecedented project without sufficient information. By studying these issues, the greater question can be asked: "Can the success of the Guggenheim museum be repeated?" 1 Museum Puts Bilbao Back on Spain’s Economic and Cultural Maps T.R. Reid; The Washington Post; Mar 31, 1999; pg. A.16 Graduate student Stefanos Skylakakis prepared this case under the supervision of Professor Spiro N. Pollalis as the basis for class discussion rather to illustrate effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation, a design process or a design itself.

Guggenheim Presents Focused Exhibition on Seminal Work by Jackson Pollock, Opening October 3
Guggenheim Presents Focused Exhibition on Seminal Work by Jackson Pollock, Opening October 3 Exhibition: Away from the Easel: Jackson Pollock’s Mural Venue: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York Location: Thannhauser Gallery 4 Dates: October 3, 2020–September 19, 2021 (NEW YORK, NY – September 18, 2020)—As part of the public reopening of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on October 3, the museum presents Away from the Easel: Jackson Pollock’s Mural, a focused exhibition dedicated to the first monumental painting by American artist Jackson Pollock (1912–1956). Commissioned by visionary collector and dealer Peggy Guggenheim for her Manhattan home in the summer of 1943, during a pivotal moment in the evolution of Pollock’s artistic style, Mural was completed by the end of that same year. The current presentation is the first time this work has been on view in New York in more than 20 years and marks the painting’s debut at the Guggenheim Museum. Along with Mural, the exhibition features three additional works by Pollock. Nearly 20 feet wide by 8 feet tall, Mural is Pollock’s largest painting. The work was a breakthrough for the artist and marked a transformational year. During his brief time working as a custodian and preparator at New York’s Museum of Non-Objective Painting (the first inception of the Guggenheim Museum) in 1943, Peggy Guggenheim gave him a contract with a monthly stipend that permitted him to paint full-time. Her early support of Pollock’s work arguably established his career. Following the commissioning of this painting, the artist had his first solo exhibition, held at Guggenheim’s museum- gallery, Art of This Century, later that year.
