Development, completion and defense of a master's thesis (theoretical and artistic) in Painting. Completion and Exhibition of the Artistic Project in Painting, with the respective visual documentation for inclusion in the dissertation document, public exhibition or, if this is not possible, construction of a virtual tour using devices for this purpose, or even a visual report and portfolio. Writing the dissertation in accordance with the institutional rules for formatting the document, in terms of structure (cover, declarations of originality, table of contents, development, conclusion, indication of bibliographic data in accordance with the standards indicated, image captions), quality of writing and citation standards. Public defense of the research (oral presentation and exhibition).

This phase of the master's research is carried out with weekly two-hour tutorials by the supervisor to ensure that the student has intellectual support, both in writing and in producing work. This monitoring ensures that the dissertation document has the quality required to be defended and is written in accordance with the required standards. It also ensures that the student continues their artistic project in a manner consistent with their theoretical-conceptual investigation, without making it illustrative, guaranteeing the plastic quality of the work and its autonomy in relation to any explanation or description.
