Teaching Methodologies

6.1 The methodological choices will focus on three key educational components: oral presentation oriented to the estimated contents; study and presentation of works/ productions and their authors; work development under the teacher guindance.

 

6.2  Given the specificity of this curricular unit, the student must ensure the minimum presence in 40 hours of contact (classes), by assisting the right to carry out examination if he has not obtained approval by continuous evaluation.

 

CONTINUOS EVALUATION

– Attendance participation – 10% of the global assessment;

– Practical assignments – 90% of the global assessment.

 

EXAM

– Ability to communicate ideas – 30% of the exam’s global assessment;

– Practical component – 70% of the overall assessment of the exam.

 

 

Learning Results

3.1- Understand and identify different expression techniques through the set of two and three-dimensional figures.
3.2- Understand the experimentation and exploration of materials as two and three-dimensional representation techniques.
3.3- Recognize, experiment and explore three-dimensionality using recovered materials.
3.4- Acquire elementary knowledge of pictorial representation processes.
3.5- Develop skills in two and three-dimensional composition practices, relating and adapting them to different design methodologies.
