Class Painting Workshop II

The field of action of this optional CU is to develop the skills for the realisation of a personal artistic project. The field of action is Painting as a field of investigation and its countless possibilities of materialisation in the present. The field of intervention is the extended field of Painting (as an autonomous, transdisciplinary or site-specific field). site-specific field). The relevance of this CU is justified by its complementarity with all the CUs of Painting and Drawing CUs (mandatory CUs included in the curriculum of the Fine Arts degree) and by supporting them, extending the students' contact time with the teacher in order to improve the artistic results of the personal project. During the semester, it encourages and makes students aware of the importance of the documentation of the working process in progress and, finally, its photographic register for promotion, dissemination and portfolio.

The relevant pedagogical methodology in this CU is tutorial contact. This individualised approach aims to broaden visual culture and stimulate the development of technical languages and processes, critical vision and research methodologies. The tutorials take the form of conversations with the student about the concepts underlying the development of their Personal Project (PP). These tutorials provide conceptual references, examples of works by national and international artists relevant to each imaginary, bibliography and the conception of the artistic proposal in order to broaden the possibilities of creative and artistic production for each individual student. Critical and self-critical skills are valued through collective discussions in the classroom where processes and results in the realisation of each PP are debated, exercising the use of appropriate technical terminology in order to prepare for independent life after completing their studies.
