Modernism

The theme of this project is art, particularly the Modernist movement in France during the end of the 19th and 20th century.

The theme of this project is art, particularly the Modernist movement in France during the end of the 19th and 20th century.

The reason why France was picked as the venue for this Project is because historically it has been the starting point to the modernist movement and to other movements and ideas that have shaped and influenced the way we live and think – perceive art. The great French thinkers and the art history of France has shaped the European gaze towards art, made it an individual and deeply personal experience in contrary to the ruling standardization and strict classification that decided and said what is beautiful, what is art and what is not. This will allow participants of this project to see, feel and work with primary sources, that is crucial for the development of understanding and further reflection and analysis on the subject.

The participants of this Project will be youngsters between the ages of 15 and 20, including art students as well as people whose daily life is not directly linked with art or they do not have prior experience in arts.

The objectives of this Project are:

1. To learn how to present and define one’s ideas through art
2. To overcome ones fears and anxieties in art
3. To learn how to work in different circumstances
4. To improve professional skills
5. To improve language and communication skills
6. To improve organizing and scheduling skills
7. To improve international dialogue and relations between youth from different countries and backgrounds
8. To improve participants analytic thinking, communication problems that are connected with the expression of thought trough art, improve it through the analysis of modernist works and creative activities

The outcome of this Project is going to be an exhibition of the works created by the participants during the period of time spent in France. Besides exhibition there is also going to be various digital materials in the internet which will reveal and give more information to the society about the Project in that way giving more publicity and attention not only to our Project but about the Erasmus programme itself. In that way we hope to inspire people which is mainly the main goal of our Project.
