Objectives of education

The CU aims to familiarize students with the workshop spaces in order to use them safely and in an informed manner. Its goal is to contribute to the development of the student's knowledge and creativity in the technological and artistic domains, in a practical and experimental approach.

Key learning outcomes

The CU will enable the student to:
- Use workshop spaces in accordance with fundamental, safety and operating rules;
- Identify equipment and tools;
- Distinguish the plastic and artistic properties of the different technologies;
- Select the most appropriate technique for carrying out a personal project;
- Apply different techniques and technical processes associated with selected technologies in personal projects;
- Understand technology in its artistic and pedagogical aspects.

Program summary

1. The different technologies and their artistic and pedagogical potential.
2. The impact of technologies, innovation and anachronisms, on the arts and arts pedagogy.
3. The sustainability in the technologies of the arts.
4. Printing techniques: repetition, series and multiple.
5. Sculpture techniques, additive and subtractive processes.
6. Textile and dyeing techniques.
7. Image production, analogue and digital two-dimensional techniques.
8. Audio visual production.

Teaching methods

The program is approached through lectures and guided debate and via technical demonstration and execution through brief exercises. The lectures will count on the support of audio-visual media and specific bibliography in tandem with the CU’s main aims. Students experience and explore technologies based on personal artistic and/or pedagogical projects.
These classes will take place in the available workshop spaces and/or in spaces of the EAAD partner institutions. The work process will have individual support by the teachers in the development of projects and students are invited to share their experiences through the oral presentation of their work.
The teaching methodologies aim at stimulating the active participation of students, as well as promoting debate and developing students’ autonomy. Finally they also aim at showing the applicability of arts technologies to projects in the field of artistic education, taking into account sustainability issues in all its dimensions.

Assessment methods

The assessment is continuous and requires students’ presence and delivery of the compulsory assessment elements. It will be carried out by the performance of the practical elements of the work, with the following criteria: the visual quality of the images/objects, their formal particularities; adequacy of technology to the project’s concept; the mastering of technical processes; the use of specific vocabulary and student autonomy in acquiring and applying knowledge.
The final assessment will result from the following sum:
1. practical work (40%), which includes at least two short exercises and one long exercise;
2. Presentation of a research dossier (30%) that compiles research from different sources, contextualizes the practical work and includes a research journal that accompanies the work in the workshop;
3. attendance, oral presentation of the practical project and participation in the proposed activities (30%).
Attendance and punctuality are fundamental in the creation of a continuous practice and in accordance with the safety and hygiene rules in the workshops, as well as its use in a team.
The oral presentation encourages learning based on the collective's experiences.
