Syllabus Information

1. General information

The objective of this subject is for students to acquire the necessary knowledge to develop their creativity through approaches linked to three-dimensional language. Its means of articulation is space, so the wide range of approaches from which it can be approached allows developing concepts and preparing students to consolidate their knowledge of it. The application of the main techniques of creation in its three procedures: additive, subtractive and constructive, without forgetting multidisciplinary; and, reproduction techniques.

It is necessary to have taken the subject Volume I.

These approaches and objectives are aligned with the following SDGs of the United Nations 2030 Agenda (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopmente/es/ in such a way that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to their achievement. Goals: 4, 12, 13 and 15.

5. Assessment system

There will be a continuous evaluation of the monitoring of work and participation, assessing the degree of conceptual and procedural evolution of each student throughout the term. The grades will be made public at the end of each exercise. In order to be evaluated according to this criterion (continuous evaluation) the student must attend at least 70% of the classes and have delivered, within the corresponding deadlines, the proposed exercises. All assignments are mandatory (which means they must be passed), but students who have attended regularly may waive one of the grades in order to find their average grade.

Students who do not take the continuous evaluation, or do not attend class with the indicated regularity, will be able to take the global evaluation which will consist of an exam to pass the subject, the percentages of which will be as follows:

- Up to 60% of the grade (practical test) for the realization of a sculptural project justified by a conceptual development.

- Up to 40% of the grade (theoretical test) for the exam of questions on the contents and topics developed in class (a minimum grade of 4 is required to pass this exam).
