1.1. Aims of the course
The initial objective is to know the most common and used techniques and ways of expression.
But besides knowing how to express oneself through drawing, it is essential and equally important to learn to observe what we are going to have to represent and then shape on paper. Before we draw or project something
we have to understand those elements that we will have to draw a posteriori
These approaches and objectives are in line with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), in such a way that the acquisition of the course learning outcomes provides training and competence to contribute to their achievement to some degree.
Goal 4: Quality Education
Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree
It is a subject placed in the first semester of studies (which would be equivalent to the first semester of the first year).
It is mandatory.
It has a teaching load of 6 ECTS credits.
The course helps students develop spatial understanding, ingenuity and compositional abstraction.

4. Methodology, learning tasks, syllabus and resources
4.1. Methodological overview
The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards the achievement of the learning objectives. A wide range of teaching and learning tasks are implemented, such as lectures, practice sessions, seminars, workshops, computer laboratory sessions, tutorials, and autonomous work and study. The methodology of a course such as Graphic Expression is based on the need for continuous practice, with a lot of exercises and autonomous work, both autonomously and in groups. The classes are oriented to the development of the assignments and projects, and theoretical contents will be given to achieve the expected results. It is complemented with extraordinary sessions, visits, activities, lectures, and tutorials both individual and group. The course requires the active participation of students.
The approach, methodology and assessment of this guide are intended to be the same for any teaching scenarios. They will be adapted to the social-health situation at any particular time, as well as to the instructions given by the authorities concerned.
