• MetodologiaMethodology

  The course unit aims to integrate theory and practice in the study of human anatomy and its artistic representation. The syllabus is organized in a logical and systematic progression, facilitating the achievement of these objectives. The historical approach to portraiture provides students with a cultural and aesthetic context that serves as a foundation for critical understanding of human representation in art. Exploration of the fundamentals of artistic anatomy leads to the acquisition of both theoretical and practical knowledge about human anatomical structure. This approach is complemented by the instruction of drawing and representation techniques. The study of the human face, along with its individualized and emotional characteristics, aligns with the objective of developing specific technical skills in portraiture. The maintenance of a graphic diary is required throughout the semester. This diary serves as a continuous record of each student's creative process.
