STAFF MOBILITY AT TBILISI STATE ACADEMY OF ARTS

Our professor Lorena Cuenca had the opportunity to go on an Erasmus teaching exchange at Tbilisi State Academy of Arts (Georgia), with whom we have an Erasmus + KA107 exchange program. 

The historical building where the Academy is located is from the 1850’s and represents one of the most prominent examples of Georgia’s architecture. It combines different western and eastern European building techniques and aesthetics. One example is the so-called Mirror Halls. Master Iranian craftsmen were brought to Georgia to complete these decorations, in a Persian manner. The result is a very characteristic blending architecture. 

Lorena led a workshop on image transferring for the painting and printmaking students of this institution. The workshop was linked to a project that started last year in our school, organized by the Equality and Erasmus departments. This project revolves around the research of female artists and designers. The students were able to create some postcards and works on paper using images of some iconic Georgian artists such as: Vera Pagava, Natela Lankoshvili, Tamara Kvesitadze, Rusudan Khizanishvili, Niniko Morbedadze and Lia Bagrationi.

STAFF MOBILITY RHEINMAIN UNIVERSITY

Last spring, our professors Araceli Giménez and Alicia Rodríguez had the opportunity to go on an Erasmus teaching exchange in the Design Communication Department of RheinMain University of Applied Sciences as part of the Erasmus + program. 

The two of them led a 15 hour long course (3 hours/day) for 16 students, 12 of them locals and 4 of them Erasmus students themselves. The theme of the workshop was ‘The four degrees of iconicity in scientific illustration’ and focused on representation in scientific illustration and color management in ceramics. The two topics were linked and introduced to the students, highlighting the potential of the link between graphic design and ceramics, and introducing the students to ceramic digital printing and ceramic coatings. 

Overall, they had a very rich experience and Araceli and Alicia were able to talk with faculty there about different pedagogical methodologies and the presence of technology within schools and learning systems. 

 

STAFF MOBILITY AT TBILISI STATE ACADEMY OF ARTS

Last spring, our Interior Design professor Miretxu Sardina, had the opportunity to go on an Erasmus teaching exchange at Tbilisi State Academy of Arts in Georgia.This year  marks the 100th anniversary of this prominent Academy, and it has received a UNESCO recognition for it. 

The Academy has different historic buildings throughout the city of Tbilisi, and many of them are palaces and are now being remodeled and rehabilitated by professionals and students. The Interior Design school is located in the Architecture School. 

During her stay, Miretxu had the opportunity to hold meetings with the dean and faculty to exchange ideas and points of view on Interior Design teaching. She gave a talk on trends in  Interior Design and the current state of this discipline  in Spain now. In addition to the lecture, she held a two-day workshop on conceptual design, and the importance of light, color and texture in communicating different ideas and feelings. The students came up with really interesting results that were shared  with the dean and chair of the Architecture School and received a small diploma. 

STAFF MOBILITY AT ACCADEMIA DI BELLI ARTI DI CATANZARO

Our professor Lorena Cuenca had the opportunity to go on an Erasmus teaching exchange at Accademia di Belli Arti di Catanzaro (Italy) last may. There, she led a workshop on image transferring for the Illustration students. The workshop was linked to a project that started last year in our school, organized by the Equality and Erasmus departments. This project revolves around the research of female artists and designers. The students were able to create some postcards and works on paper using images of some iconic Italian artists such as: María Grandinetti Mancuso, Lia Drei and Emilia Zinzi (art historian). 

STAFF MOBILITY AT HOCHSCHULE RHEINMAIN IN WIESBADEN

Our professor Sorkunde Bilbao Madariaga had the opportunity to go on an Erasmus teaching exchange at Hochschule RheinMain in Wiesbaden last spring. For a week, Sorkunde was able to work closely with the faculty and students of Computer Media from the Design-Computer Science Media School, located in the  Unter den Eichen campus. 

Sorkunde’s experience was very enriching, for she had the opportunity to attend different master classes from faculty there who have a prominent professional career outside of their teaching practice, in most cases. 

The school facilities where classes take place used to be recording studios of the German public-service television broadcaster, ZDF. Interestingly, although these facilities have been remodeled with an educational activity purpose, they have kept a very effective and versatile set up, facilitating an optimal learning environment. Classes are taught in German and are always recorded, so students can follow them from home or rewatch them if they need to. 

Overall, the atmosphere is very good, with a constant exchange of ideas between faculty and students, and fomenting team work. 

The city of Wiesbaden is located on the shore of the Rhine river, and is the capital of the federal state Hessen. It is known for its mineral springs and thermal baths that have attracted generations of European tourists. It also has numerous green areas and it is not far from Frankfurt, one of the most important cities in Germany. 



STAFF MOBILITY FOR TRAINING AT NCAD DUBLIN

One of our teachers, Elena Cuadrado, specialized in Fashion Design, has made a mobility  programme from 4 to 8 April at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin which has trained important Irish artists and designers, such as the Irish fashion designer Simone Rocha.

The educational offer of this school is characterized by four types of studies: design, education, fine arts and visual culture. The school opens in the mornings. No teaching takes place in the afternoons, but the center and all its workshops are kept open so that students can continue to work on their own projects. 

Our teacher had the opportunity to attend different workshops and classrooms to get to know how they work. She was able to see some presentations of Master Projects and their filming, such as «Design for Body & Environment» and to participate in different subjects of the different fashion courses. 

Contemporary Vanitas of Ewa Bobrowska

From 9 to 11 April we can see the video art work Contemporary Vanitas by Ewa Bobrowska in the hall of the Museum of Fine Arts and our school. 

Contemporary Vanitas presents the vanitas trail as unfolding truth, confrontation with the other, and self-confrontation in light of the concept of parresia as the true discourse.

Ewa Bobrowska, Contemporary Vanitas, videoarte.

In addition, the artist will hold a workshop,  on 10 and 11 February, where, from the viewing of her video-art work, she will reflect on the topic of vanitas and the psychoanalytic notion of the unity of death. The possible forms of conceptualization and visualization of oppression in contemporary art will be reconsidered. For this, the theme of vanitas in contemporary art will also be reviewed, paying special attention to the artistic productions of Bill Viola, Chris Burden and Bruce Nauman, among others..

International Week of Design at EASD Castelló: From 8 to 11 February

From 8 to 11 February the Week of Design at the school are held, which also have the presence of international speakers and teachers from the institutions with which we have Erasmus agreement.

The international conferences will be in the afternoon, at 17.30, also at the Museum of Fine Arts and will have an interpreter.

STAFF MOBILITY FOR TRAINING AT ESAD MATOSINHOS

 

Eva Verdú, technical drawing teacher of our school, went with the mobility programme to Portugal to visit the ESAD of Matosinhos from 14 to 18 February 2022. 

During her stay at the school, she attended various illustration classes, taught by Emilio Remelhe. In these classes, different points of view and ideas were exchanged in order to achieve a better project. One thing our teacher emphasizes is the professionalism of the school, the motivation behind the group work and the commitment and precision with which it is carried out. 

Escola Superior de Artes e Design of Matosinhos (Portugal)

One thing that surprised her was the possibility of negotiating with the municipal government for the cession of spaces that would allow students to start their professional activity. This helps to create very interesting situations, which make the different studies of the school visible by sharing events in the different spaces.
