5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process that is designed for this subject is based on the following:

TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The course has a practical nature. Thus, next to the exhibition set of content that make up a theoretical support and conceptual framework for reflection determined in each block contained a series of exercises they are proposed, with specific objectives, to perform in the classroom-workshop. The linkage between theory and practice do not always follows the same sequence. Sometimes the theory is absolutely necessary to carry out the exercises progress. However, in others it is given during or after practical experimentation, thus guiding the conclusions on the results.

Teaching-learning methodology:

- Theoretical and practical lessons:

Slides, computer presentations, videos, samples of materials and tests, and specific bibliography of each block to facilitate the assimilation by the student, support material will be used.

- Evaluation activities in class period:

Deliveries of practical and theoretical exercises derived from the contents of the thematic blocks (see Evaluation activities).

- Practical exercises:

In which students will develop pictorial procedures and its various applications described in the Learning activities planned: preparation of materials and development of complementary procedures necessary for the development of painting techniques that the student must perform during the semester. In relation to each block of content the student will carry out a series of exercises statements, directed and reviewed by the teacher, framed both in classroom activities or presential activities and non presential activities. Given the peculiarities of the subject, constantly monitoring the execution of each exercise it is necessary, so that attending the classes will be considered indispensable.

- Theoretical and practical work:

The student must dedicate a given time for the realization of a theoretical and practical work in due time whose characteristics are presented in class by the teacher.

- Study and extension of contents:

Consulting specific bibliography for each thematic block for the expansion of content. Also contemplated as necessary visits to exhibitions and museums. This time also be used in studying and assessment studies and trials.

- Evaluation Assessment activities during the evaluation period: end global test (see Evaluation activities).

- Tutorials:

The student, individually and by appointment, tutoring can treat any issues related to their training in the subject deems appropriate, within the set time for this purpose. This does not exclude the possibility that the teacher can promptly propose a specific tutoring based on student needs.

5.2. Learning tasks

The program that the student is offered to help you achieve the expected results includes the following activities...

It means learning activities to all those relating to the powers, which allow students to achieve the learning objectives. All content blocks, with their work during the course are divided into a theoretical and practical part, taught and performed in class (classroom activities, face activities) and outside it (using non presential activities), however both activities are structured in a complementary manner.

Classroom activities or face activities are considered all of those, both practical and theoretical, in which student participation in the classroom might be directed by the teacher which can develop the student in the classroom-workshop with the direct intervention of the teacher and usually suggested or ordered by it. Non-contact activities were considered all those, both practical and theoretical, which can are developed students outside the classroom-workshop with or without the direct intervention of the teacher, either on the students its own initiative, or suggested or ordered by the teacher it.

The learning activities are based, as already indicated, on two pillars: on the one hand First, both practical technical knowledge and theoretical materials, tools, methods and painting techniques that have been used throughout the history of painting; and, secondly, of those used or have been incorporated at present. Therefore, to achieve the stated objectives, it is necessary to establish an effective learning strategy to acquire skills and achieve the highest number of goals maximum through practical and theoretical exercises, the highest number of goals.

A part of these exercises are will be  performed in the actual classes (classroom activity or face activity), and others outside the classroom (non presential activity).

1. THEORETICAL CLASSES

2. PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES

Students will practice in the classroom workshop where when applicable, under the supervision and tutelage of the teacher taught in the theoretical sessions contents. They basically consist of the development, production and materials management useful for the practice of painting, and its application, by performing samples of technical solutions on different media and resolution of basic exercises defined thematic or free interpretation.

3. NON-CONTACT ACTIVITIES

Practical, theoretical and literature works.
