• MetodologiaMethodology

  The pedagogical approach combines expository teaching with active learning methods. Each module begins with a theoretical presentation that provides students with the necessary context for the topics under discussion.  Following the theoretical exposition, students engage in practical and collaborative activities that encourage them to apply the issues addressed to their own practice and perspective. These exercises range from the development of quick sketches exploring aspects of personal identity to the creation of more elaborate works that incorporate the studied theories and concepts.  The teaching methodology culminates in the development and presentation of a final, open-ended project centred on the concept of identity. This project must include an oral presentation and be accompanied by an explanatory text, both of which are integrated into the final portfolio used for assessment.
