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).

INTRODUCTION: 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 her/his own ground for reflection. Based on major artworks, and other lesser-known examples of the history of Western art, we will attempt to provide students with a common critical language, giving special emphasis to the historical and cultural context and to formal analysis, so as to allow the understanding of some contemporary artistic practices. 

OBJECTIVES: To distinguish and identify the artistic achievements of the Middle Ages and their antecedents. To identify its aesthetic and formal characteristics. To characterize the socio-economic, political, religious, cultural and mental context of the emergence and development of each of the artistic styles of this period. To identify and characterize some of the works of art that exemplify each artistic style. To deepen knowledge by way of specialized readings.

To know the fundamental analytical tools for the study and appreciation of medieval art, both in its original socio-historical context and in terms of its importance and universal significance. To develop an interest in reading texts of that time, and specialized studies and essays.

E201 - ECTS

Provide the conceptual instruments capable of enhancing the exercise of a critical and informed reflection that has as its object first the creation and reception of works of art. Contact with a historically oriented thematic path - which runs through the thinking of some of the main agents of past and contemporary aesthetic reflection - should enhance the critical autonomy and interiorization of the intrinsic interdependence between the artistic production and reception dimension and the discourse. conceptual; and, more broadly, the intrinsic interdependence between the world representations privileged by a given epoch, culture or artist, and the way art is thought, produced and experienced. In this sense, thinking of art will be, first and foremost, understood as an inquiry into thought itself, that is, into the cultural instruments of representation of the real. We will try to identify the specificity of artistic representation languages ​​in relation to other ways of thinking and experiencing the world. Generally, the problem of Representation will arise in two dimensions: 1) What is the representation of the world privileged by a given epoch, culture or individual? Simply put, what is the answer given to the question what is the world? Or what is the privileged way of representing the world? 2) What is the representation of art privileged by one of the time, culture or individual? Simply put, what is the answer given to the question what is art? If it is usually because of an at least implicit answer to the question what is the world? When the answer to the question "what is art" is defined, it is also possible to think that in some epochs, practices or thinkers it is in function of the second that the first is defined. An example of this is how the representation of the world produced by art in a given historical-cultural period actively conditions the very transformation of the world — whether or not the conscious agents are aware of it. It seems possible to think of the history of art and the history of aesthetics, as thematic reflection, as a result of a process of interaction between a “multiple” representation of the world and an “equally multiple” representation of art. This interaction develops in two main strands: a) The adequacy — or inadequacy — of artistic representation to an underlying but not always conscious representation of the world. According to this conception, art imitates life. This is the biggest obstacle to the notion of mimetic representation, which for a long time structured and conditioned Western art: it would always be a second degree representation, that is, the representation of a representation. b) The adequacy of the world to a particular artistic representation of the world - that is, the desire to make the world a work of art. This is the desire that has animated, at least for the last century, the socially committed artistic avant-garde. According to this model, which is that of modernity, it is not art that imitates life, it is life that imitates art. However, the often formulated claim to fit the world into an ideal representation inspired some of the most terrible political experiences of the twentieth century. This makes clear the extremely problematic character of the relationship between art and reality, with the notion of representation acquiring a central role: it is from this that both concepts are defined. Therefore, it becomes pertinent to question art from the notion of representation, according to the variables mentioned above. The equation of these variables will allow a focus of our analyzes, drawing a directed path, tending to provide an understanding of art as a cultural phenomenon historically and culturally situated.

HTP01 - ECTS

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.

C311 - ECTS

Aplicar a imagens bidimensionais hipóteses de interpretação oriundas da história, da psicologia da percepção e da geometria. 

TDI01 - ECTS

A imagem é um fenómeno visual complexo que: articula processos de recepção e processamento; envolve estruturas concretas e lógicas; e estruturas afetivas e subjectivas. De uma maneira genérica, a imagem é uma representação realizada a partir de um determinado ponto de vista, através de um processo de registo que vai desde o olhar até à realidade virtual.

Em pintura, a imagem, compreende uma dupla natureza: a imagem em si e a imagem enquanto pintura. Ambas partilham características mas também distinções. A imagem de uma pintura pode não corresponder a uma pintura.

Os meios de disseminação de imagens são, na atualidade, tão vastos e acessíveis que mantêm um acesso permanente a imagens com diferentes origens e funções que vão desde o quotidiano à ficção, do analógico ao informático, do real ao virtual.

Neste contexto, importa perceber como a imagem é processada enquanto forma e enquanto conteúdo, e de que forma se interligam os processos de emissão e de recepção, não só no contexto da pintura, mas no campo alargado dos diferentes difusores.

A imagem em pintura será o ponto de partida para uma genealogia da imagem, desde da semiótica, até à análise dos processos de construção e produção de imagens, e procura desenvolver uma consciência crítica sobre a imagem em campo alargado e sobre a relação desta com a particularidade do campo da pintura.
