Art Nouveau-Art Renouveau Exhibition book

Introduction
Welcome to the virtual exhibition Art
Nouveau - Art Renouveau! The work
reproduced here is the result of three years
of collaborative work by young people in six
countries: Bulgaria, France, Germany,
Romania, Scotland and Slovenia.
Art Nouveau was a Europe-wide art
movement at the turn of the 19th and 20th
Centuries. A century later, our students have
been inspired by Art Nouveau in their own
and each other’s countries. They have
studied this pan-European movement and
have reinterpreted it in their own way, using
modern materials and techniques as well as
rediscovering traditional arts and crafts.
During the three-year project, there have
been 290 pupil mobilities and numerous staff
meetings in our six countries. Impossible to
convey here is the creative buzz experienced
during these visits, the joy of spending time
together and the depth of friendships forged
across the continent.
We are very grateful to Erasmus+ for funding
our Art Nouveau – Art Renouveau project
and for giving so many young people the
opportunity to work and have fun together.
