1st Semester 6 60 h

Drawing Laboratory proposes a higher level of problematisation of drawing, dealing with some of its issues more specifically associated to artistic drawing. The work will focus on the development of the drawing process itself, often assuming a structurally tutorial nature – in parallel with the other pedagogical actions defined in the curricular unit programme.
The pedagogical contents in the course of this curricular unit focus on:
B1. A participatory and comparative experimentation on the visual matter that constitutes, in its diverse disciplinary
and technical manifestations, the subject of plastic production as an autonomous discipline.
B2. The implementation of a sustained path, understanding the drawing as a practice that is workshop but also
experimental power of response to a plastic intentionality.
B3. An understanding of what drawing contains as contingent, but also as constructed/structured.
