  • MetodologiaMethodology
    During oral and visual presentations, students are encouraged to think critically and acquire communicative and argumentative skills about some of the origins, influences, theories and creative processes of text as a visual form.The knowledge acquired is put into practice by solving problems (Hands on/problem-based learning) set by the teacher, experimenting with typographic, compositional and providing narrative solutions, while at the same time promoting the development of soft skills such as autonomy, organization, thinking and analytical, critical and argumentative discourse in the artistic world. Then, students will embarq on a individual project-based learning, putting into practice their artistic and methodological autonomy, in which the student identifies their artistic influences, adopts creative processes which are specific to a given project that links text and image.
