AP111 - ECTS

In “Artes plásticas,” what is aimed at is a comprehensive introduction to the arts, understood as the domain of creation, expression and research in the field of the visual arts, thus revealing a relative diversity in its contents. The programmatic lines thus indicated will be strengthened after a branch of specialization (multimedia, painting or sculpture) is chosen, especially in the subsequent classes of “Atelier” I and II.

The work to be developed will thus oscillate between an approach to art materials and the procedures involved in their handling (by making) and the level that defines the very nature of artistic practice (by thinking).

This course is intended to provide students of various courses of FBAUP a common area of reflection on art, as part of cultural systems that have been changing over time and which differ in the various civilizations that originated them. Thus, the course’s program will be structured around major themes, which can raise the confrontation and dialogue among students with very different experiences and motivations. The course covers the historical period of the Medieval period, which gave rise to wonderful artistic productions that played a key role in the development of Western consciousness. The approach will be both historical and thematic, aiming to give students the analytical tools fundamental to the study and appreciation of Medieval art, both in its original socio-historical context, and on their importance and universal significance. The aim is to stimulate interest in reading of contemporary texts, studies and essays, and develop the capacity to understand the images, providing students with tools to observe and interpret the art object. The confrontation with artworks, themes and issues essential to the history of art will enable each student to weave its own basis for reflection.

Culture in general and the history and theory of the arts in particular are fundamental tools for developing projects and student work in other disciplines, allowing them to develop specific plastic research; thus, they have an important role in their training and assessment, allowing them to reflect about their own artistic practice. In our era of proliferation of digital images, art history continues to demonstrate that the images that mark the contemporary visual culture did not emerge from nothing, and that analysis of its material basis and its social context is absolutely necessary for a proper historical understanding of its function and its visual impact. Artworks are the product of various interactions between artists sensitive to visuality and specific historical circumstances. The function of art history is therefore to understand this creative process in multiple ways.

Introdução: O Atelier de Pintura I desenvolve-se em torno das questões técnicas, estéticas e estilisticas da pintura e dos vários modos de operar nas superfícies. A prática incidirá na pintura de observação directa assim como em exercícios a partir de reproduções de pinturas (de preferência dentro do universo das coleções dos museus nacionais, alargando assim a possibilidade de um contacto com o original ). A sequência das propostas de trabalho terá em atenção um evolutivo grau de complexidade e variedade técnica, desenvolvendo a formação no domínio da linguagem pictórica e a autonomia metodológica e criativa de cada estudante. Em articulação com a UC MTP poderão ser solicitados trabalhos, de teor tecnológico, a realizar na UC acima mencionada. Desenvolver a técnica da pintura aplicada ao retrato, à paisagem natural e urbana, natureza morta e quotidiano, nas suas diferentes matrizes. Desenvolver o espírito crítico e auto-crítico, experimental e inventivo Desenvolver a capacidade expressiva e autoral baseada em conceitos estruturados e fundamentados. Desenvolver capacidades de percepção, memória e articulação de formas.

MTP211 - ECTS

O programa da disciplina pretende iniciar um processo de investigação relativo à evolução pictórica de todas as Escolas e correntes artísticas, através do estudo dos seus materiais e técnicas.
A ausência de um programa arquivístico das práticas e dos métodos utilizados pelos pintores mais ilustrativos da história da arte deve reforçar o interesse em reunir informação detalhada e de fontes diversificadas, privilegiando-se o contacto directo com profissionais de áreas científicas que partilham as mesmas preocupações.
Uma metodologia que contemple as técnicas processuais da pintura não inibe a “originalidade” e a “espontaneidade” da obra artística. Hoje, há sinais claros de que a técnica e a estética se encontram em trajectórias de convergência, que é tão importante quanto a convergência entre a ciência e a técnica.

OBJECTIVOS DA DISCIPLINA

1. Familiarizar o aluno com os materiais e técnicas da pintura utilizadas ao longo da história da arte por artesãos e artistas;

2. Sistematizar procedimentos que proponham práticas racionais no âmbito do ofício da pintura;

3. Introduzir novas referências de estudo que forneçam ao aluno as bases necessárias para a correcta selecção dos materiais disponibilizados no mercado;

4. Transmitir noções elementares colocadas no plano da física e da química aplicada, consideradas pertinentes para um curso superior de pintura;

5. Disponibilizar termos e conceitos técnicos indispensáveis à riqueza de vocabulário, no meio artístico;

6. Sensibilizar o aluno para a conservação de obras de arte, sublinhando as da sua própria produção.

TI201 - ECTS

A constante presença dos meios de comunicação, nomeadamente audiovisuais, na sociedade contemporânea, obriga-nos a um contacto permanente com os mais diversos tipos de imagem. Através do cinema, da televisão, da internet, dos jogos vídeo ou do telemóvel recebemos um enorme fluxo de imagens que consumimos, muitas vezes, de forma indiscriminada. Esta visualidade complexa implica a necessidade de um novo tipo de literacia visual, que viabilize um olhar mais competente e informado da realidade que nos circunda. Na disciplina de teoria da imagem procurar-se-á, a partir de um conjunto muito diversificado de estímulos visuais, promover uma reflexão alargada e interdiciplinar sobre o modo como são produzidas e difundidas as imagens na contemporaneidade, de molde a promover nos estudantes uma maior consciência crítica.

APII - ECTS

Alicerçada no estudo da teoria e da história da Pintura, e do trabalho prático de Pintura desenvolvido nos anos precedentes, pretender-se-á que cada estudante desenvolva competências de organização e de iniciativa ao nível da formulação de projectos de investigação. Em sintonia com preocupações tecnológicas, a cadeira de Atelier II, Pintura, ambiciona adequar um suposto modelo tradicional do ensino das Belas-Artes com as exigências da situação artística contemporânea. A cadeira, de carácter teórico-prático, apresenta como estratégia cientifico-pedagógica a possibilidade de construção de autonomia projectual do discente, por via de uma abordagem entre o pensar e o fazer, entre o projecto e o processo, entre a reflexão crítica e o resultado, procurando assim facultar os instrumentos indispensáveis para a compreensão dos territórios da prática artística contemporânea.

Esta disciplina destina-se a fornecer aos estudantes da Licenciatura em Artes Plásticas, ramo de Pintura, um espaço de reflexão comum sobre a prática da pintura e a tradição pictórica na Europa ocidental, nas suas diversas componentes. Através do recurso a exemplos concretos de épocas muito variadas, serão expostos conhecimentos básicos e algumas ferramentas fundamentais, bem como os métodos e os critérios mais amplamente utilizados na actualidade por historiadores, comissários de exposições, conservadores e críticos de arte para poder analisar qualquer obra pictórica com algum detalhe. O programa da disciplina será estruturado à volta de grandes temáticas, capazes de suscitar o confronto e o diálogo entre alunos com experiências e motivações diversificadas. Partindo de algumas obras maiores e de outras menos divulgadas da história da pintura ocidental, serão abordadas as relações entre a pintura e a cultura visual na arte europeia, essencialmente dos séculos XIII a XX, com uma especial ênfase no Renascimento. Procurar-se-á fomentar o interesse pela leitura de textos da época e de estudos e ensaios, e desenvolver as capacidades de entendimento das imagens, fornecendo aos alunos utensílios para observar e interpretar o objecto pictórico nas suas mais variadas vertentes. Serão abordadas questões como a identificação das obras pictóricas, os géneros na pintura, as diversas técnicas, os conceitos essenciais sobre a composição, o desenho e a cor, a evolução do tratamento da figura humana, ou a produção, consumo e circulação da pintura. A disciplina destina-se a dotar os alunos de uma linguagem crítica comum, dando especial relevo ao contexto histórico e cultural, à análise formal e à compreensão da génese e do processo criativo das obras pictóricas. São essenciais a aquisição de um vocabulário técnico, de conceitos e de conhecimentos básicos fundamentais para o estudo da história da arte, bem como o desenvolvimento do espírito crítico e das capacidades de percepção visual e comparativa na análise da obra de arte, enquanto objecto artístico, estético e histórico. Nota: As questões relativas a procedimentos, materiais e técnicas pictóricas, bem como a composição, desenho e cor, merecerão uma abordagem sumária, dado que serão objecto de estudo detalhado noutras disciplinas curriculares.

Contexto geral da Unidade Curricular

Consolidar e focalizar os conhecimentos já adquiridos pelos alunos nos anos anteriores, no âmbito da escultura, trabalhando especificamente a intervenção no espaço e a construção de volumes/volumetrias a partir do espaço, em consequência de uma prática projectual. Promover o confronto com o espaço enquanto essência da arte, descobrindo as diferenças conceptuais na aplicação e desenvolvimento dos processos projectuais, bem como dos processos técnicos implicados. Estar familiarizado com metodologias e processos de realização da escultura enquanto processo projectual e técnico específico de construção/intervenção de/no espaço, conhecendo os meios, as matérias e as linguagens expressivas envolvidas, denotar disponibilidade para experimentar e inovar tendo capacidade para concretizar os projectos enunciados, potenciando uma linguagem formal individual. Contexto específico da Unidade Curricular. Ser capaz de interpretar e analisar um espaço público de pequena ou média escala e definir as suas características como lugar. Saber utilizar os meios, os processos e os conteúdos leccionados, no desenvolvimento de projectos artísticos endereçados ao lugar, tendo em conta as dimensões físicas, conceptuais, contextuais (implicações de âmbito artístico e de transversalidade disciplinar) e temporais, criando e produzindo trabalhos individuais ou de equipa.

Os recentes desenvolvimentos do pensamento contemporâneo valorizam a importância da categoria espaço no entendimento dos processos de conhecimento sejam eles do foro da geografia crítica, da teoria social, do pensamento estético, da arquitectura ou da arte. Nesta perspectiva, e sendo o espaço uma categoria de significação tão abrangente, tanto em termos da crescente espacialização da vida contemporânea, como nas derivações que este fenómeno tem exercido sobre o pensamento e a arte, surge esta unidade curricular centrada na investigação da importância das teorias contemporâneas do espaço e suas conexões com a arte.
O pensamento crítico desenvolvido a partir principalmente da segunda metade do século XX em torno das práticas artísticas que se confrontavam com a espacialidade nos seus modos de produção e de exposição, forma o ponto de partida da unidade curricular, com vista a aprofundar as noções tão frequentemente citadas na prática artística contemporânea de site-specific ou arte contextual. A unidade curricular poderá articular-se com os projectos deste carácter desenvolvidos noutras unidades curriculares teorico-práticas, nomeadamente Atelier e Projecto, de qualquer dos Ramos do Curso de Artes Plásticas.
