Catalan Modernist Art
You can watch and enjoy several videos, which have been recorded by 15 and 16-year-old students, who are following both humanistic and artistic studies. They have been learning about two mythical places as for Catalan modernist art: Cau Ferrat in Sitges and Els 4 Gats in Barcelona. Needless to say that they have made a great work summarising the information and adding pictures accordingly. Thus, they have found out quite a lot about a fascinating artistic movement through which Catalonia became the center of the artistic movement of the time, at the beginning of the XX century.
