Objectives

The curricular unit of Atelier II - Painting is a theoretical-practical chair and presents as a scientific-pedagogical strategy the construction of the student's autonomy through an approach between thinking and doing,  project and process, between the critical reflection and the result, looking to provide the indispensable tools for understanding the territories of contemporary artistic practice.

Learning outcomes and competences

Acquire specific knowledge about painting techniques, its proper use and application, and stimulate a  practice research in painting.

Deepen the teoretical and pratical knowledge in painting already acquired in previous academic years, plus adding the development of a individual painting project - preparing students for greater autonomy in a practical and conceptual way.

Program

The contents of the program in the Atelier II - Pintura  are based on the theorical and pratical study of the pictorial organization, trying to develop in the student reflections through notions in painting: scale, support, materials, etc,  in a matrix between reason and creativity. It is also sought the developing of a rigorous context for the formulation of a individual painting project that allows the enancing of acquired knowledge with aesthetic and creative competences.

This curricular unit also aims to expand the basic technological skills within painting, seeking learning inside the mechanisms of plastic creation, in the sedimentation of theoretical and practical knowledge that can organize the development of strategies of analysis and synthesis about painting and stimulate the effective need to think and paint, as an exercise in permanent invention and rediscovery.

Comments from the literature

Due to the special nature of the discipline, it is difficult to suggest a main bibliography, and this will be indicated by the faculty in accordance with the individual work of each student.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The unit of Atelier II - Painting, aims to promote the understanding of an epistemology for painting, focusing on experimentation, research and knowledge production.
The teaching methodology in Atelier II, by its very nature, is implicitly related to the ongoing theoretical-practice thinking and doing inside the studio workshop, and privileges the process of a student-centered teaching, this so by adopting the principle of a direct teaching, with the effective presence of al elements involved in education (teachers and students) considering the classroom as a space of pedagogical dynamics and affirmation of individual and collective learning.
