The programme comprises modules to be developed through practical exercises involving the observation of shapes and objects. Theoretical sessions will be given to present the subjects, themes, examples and theoretical foundations of the practical exercises to be developed in each phase of work. Contact between the lecturer and the student is favoured, as they are engaged in an interaction of knowledge and expectations, questions and answers. Due to the laboratory nature of this course, it must be taken in Continuous Assessment.
