Objectives

Acquire technical and expressive skills in the areas of human figure drawing and representation of space. Develop the practice of drawing the human figure in their relationship with space. Depth, through the images of the design, understanding of the relationship between body and space
In short, it is promoting pathways personal search to ensure the practice of drawing as a relationship and structuring of imagination and thought.

Learning outcomes and competences

We only can learn to draw when we do drawings. The theme of the human figure is inseparable from the practice continued. The topics and exercises are the leitmotiv of the progressive model of education. The proximity of teaching allows each step to promote the moments of critique and reflection on the whole process of work produced.
Skills in the register of form, proportion, expression and invention and representation of the human figure.

Working method

Presencial

Program

Themesm conntent and phasing.
The course program is achieved in three phases. The first two phases focus on observation, the production and analysis of the human figure drawing and space representations. The 3rd phase proposes to study the invention processes focusing on design modes, illustration and composition.1. Human figure. Theories of the proportions of the Human Body. The Canons. Anatomy, Measurement and symbolic value. Drawings copy. Drawings of the statue, prints and photographs. The classical models. The live model.
2. Modes of representation and expression. The figure and space. Posture, gesture and movement. Scale and performance. Contemporary Design. Modes of expression and composition. Graphic techniques: media plotters, water points, crayons and color. The collage. Following graphics experiences with the presence of live models.
3. Body and Space. Human figure and architecture. Memory and culture of architectural design. Symbolic articulations, expressive and illustrative.
Design of imagination: a human figure and space. Interaction models and figural representation. Processes of illustration, composition and assembly

Teaching methods and learning activities

The program will be developed according to the type of practical class. Theoretical sessions are designed to frame the issues, themes, examples and theoretical foundations of practical exercises to develop in each phase of work and study.
The worksheets define the theoretical and practical framework of each phase as well as the regime of exercise and parameters of evaluation and criticism.
The exercises are the educational referent, par excellence, from which promotes the individual and collective debate. The focus is the constant and permanent contact between the teacher and the student, subjects involved in the interaction of knowledge and expectations, questions and answers. The situation points and the evaluation sessions are key moments of the whole process.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Assessment Components

designation	Weight (%)
Participação presencial	50,00
Trabalho laboratorial	50,00
Total:	100,00

Amount of time allocated to each course unit

designation	Time (hours)
Frequência das aulas	3,00
Total:	3,00

Eligibility for exams

To obtain frequency is necessary to ensure attendance to at least 75% of the classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

At the end of each phase, the assessment will be the result of developments compared the responses of students, with reference to the parameters defined in the worksheets.
The presentation of a sketchbook (daily chart) which provides for compliance with the development of free and specific exercises is mandatory. The sketchbook is 25% of the total ranking in each phase.
The calculation of the rating assumes the progression of the levels of demand for the year as well as the time frame and the synthesis of learning. The final mark, considered the attendance and overall student achievement, will be the weighted average of the three classifications provided for the academic year (25% + 25% + 50%).
