Objectives

• To contribute to a progressive empowerment of each student's individual project. • To discuss and support the conceptual and technological development of those projects. • To engage the experimental methods of studio work. • To encourage the crossing with the work done under other areas or even in contexts outside the academy. • To stimulate the critical reflection on contemporary art practice. • To develop critical tools for analysis, both individually and within the group.

Program

Atelier II is a course dedicated to the development of studio work in its expanded version. No media restrictions apply. It is an open space for the preparation, implementation and discussion of the student's individual projects. In essence, Atelier II is an empty box waiting for the projects of each student. One can not truly speak of a programme (in the sense of something that can be programmed) or teaching methods (in academic terms). Art education is only education and included in university by a manifest and unfortunate misunderstanding. Some topics that may be discussed: • The broad field of contemporary art practice. • The visual arts. The link between experimentation, plasticity and imagination. • The role of the studio. Methodological foundations of aesthetic experimentation. • The creative process: to think and to do and to make it happen. • The place of the author. The idea of authorship conjugated in the singular and plural. • The different faces and roles played by artists. Self-management and how to control the means of production and dissemination of the work. • Alternative media. • Obsolescence and media unoperativity. • translatability and untranslatability between the arts.

Teaching methods and learning activities

At first we will try to make a bridge with the work processes followed in Atelier I, which are based on the response to work proposals and then proceed with greater autonomy to the achievement and consolidation of the individual of projects of each student. Assuming the nuclear nature of the studio work in this course, students will be encouraged to bring to this space experiments conducted in other courses or in other contexts other than the strictly academic. Parallel to studio practice there will be a critical and reflexive activity, both individually and in group, where each one will have the opportunity to confront his own work with other ways of seeing and thinking.

Examinations or Special Assignments

At the time of the assessments scheduled to end of each semester, students must submit a printed portfolio documenting the work done so far. If appropriate, digital attachments can be included . Besides what will be decided according to the development of individual projects, each student is required to make at least two presentations, one per semester, on the work in progress, followed by an open discussion.
