In this CU innovative methodologies are at the forefront of the teaching-learning process. Expanded drawing and experimental practices are in themselves innovative processes explored in drawing and sketching as illustrative research practices. This CU give practical and theoretical examples and supports students own initiatives for innovation and reinvention. This is done through a methodology of research, multimedia and multimodal approaches. This year the professors of second year drawing subjects will align their research interests with some of the taught exercises of this subject and collect and curate a publication at the end of the year, directly involving the students with its development and production.
