Few topics are as transversal and present in education, art, and life as identity. This edition of Art in the Classroom invites participants to reflect on what defines, distinguishes, and unites us, to discover artistic references, and to explore identity through the tools of visual arts.

This course offers an engaging exploration of how different approaches to photography over recent decades have shaped the current landscape of the medium.

Scenography has become one of the key elements in fashion shows, where major brands present their collections. These brands aim not only to attract the audience with their clothing but also with the spectacular shows that accompany runway presentations.

The aim of this course is to offer a full analysis of the main currents, artists and issues that have shaped the history of art since the early nineteenth century till now.

Building on the foundations of the historical avant-garde movements and their origins, a study will be made of the aesthetic, conceptual and institutional transformations that have redefined what we understand as art today.

Life, school and art are in colour. It’s a key resource for reading and creating images; it’s part of the curriculum in all school stages and is a common axis that allows us to learn from different areas.

Fashion is an important economic sector with an ever increasing presence in daily life: it’s on the street and in the media and forms part of recreational and cultural activities. Fashion is so omnipresent that it awakens in many of us the curiosity to find answers to the novel relevance it has gained in the 21st century.

This course offers a pictorial journey from the emergence of the avant-garde artistic movements in the early 20th century to the appearance of postmodernism in the nineteen-seventies. A period that marked a radical transformation in terms of how photography was understood.

Film and fashion have always and often surprisingly co-existed and interacted with each other from their very beginnings. As far back as 1931, Coco Chanel declared: ‘It is through cinema that fashion can be imposed today.’ Films, therefore, have not only served to create fashion trends and icons, but also to allow us to explore, at any given time, ideas such as modernity, gender stereotypes or sex appeal.

This course proposes an exploration of different filmic landscapes through the displacement of bodies and the journey, both physical and symbolic (if such a distinction can be made).
