The relevant pedagogical methodology in this CU is tutorial contact. The individualised approach aims to broaden visual culture and stimulate the development of languages and technical processes, critical vision and research methodologies. The tutorials are conversations on the concepts underlying the objectives to be achieved: conceptual references, examples of works by national and international artists relevant to each case and bibliography are indicated, as well as the conception of the artistic proposal, in order to broaden the vision of each student individually. Critical and self-critical skills will be developed through collective classroom discussions on the processes and results of carrying out each exercise, promoting the use of appropriate technical terminologies. Where relevant, there are theoretical sessions, artist visits (in and out of) and study visits to complement the artistic context of relevant themes and events.
