• MetodologiaMethodology

  The pedagogical approach of the Curricular Unit combines theoretical classes with practical classes. Theoretical classes provide the conceptual and contextual framework. In practical classes, students apply these concepts in projects or case studies. Group discussions and critical analysis are also incorporated to encourage reflective thinking and enable a joint analysis of various methodologies and artistic practices for public spaces. The processes of applying for public art projects are addressed. These elements are expected to be complemented by visits from professionals in the field or specialized academics. In terms of learning, students are encouraged to undertake independent study with additional research. The practical application of the concepts learned is carried out through the development of their own projects. These are then presented and evaluated in a classroom setting, allowing for feedback from peers and teachers.
