From Art to Design, how we communicate ideas

⏱ Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes

👥 Capacity / Ratio: min. 15 / max. 30 students

💰 Price: from €9 to €13 / student

📦 Materials: Example artwork, design elements, tracing paper, templates, grid, pencils and markers, educational dossier

🎯 Key competencies: Visual communication, design elements, graphic synthesis, hierarchy, aesthetic sensitivity

Learn the rules of visual communication and the transition from pure art to practical design.

One of the fundamental questions that structure this workshop is: What is the difference between art and design? Likewise, we will explore how art has influenced modern design: from the Bauhaus school, which broke down the barrier between craft and industry, to modern advertising. We will see how elements from the works of Joan Miró, the material and texture of Antoni Tàpies, or the communicative explosion of Pop Art can become elements of communication. Through debate, we will put the concepts learned into practice by transforming artistic works into real products, and we will become artisan designers creating a layered poster using tracing paper and templates, applying the design and communication skills learned. You will receive an educational dossier designed to continue working in the classroom.

This workshop can be customized based on the permanent collection or temporary exhibitions of any museum or gallery. If this is your case, write to us!

Currently, this activity is part of the educational program at Poble Espanyol. During the tour of the Museu Fran Daurel located within the complex, we will connect contemporary art with graphic design, conduct a creative debate in the auditorium, and move to the educational space to design the final poster.
