Class Painting VI

This CU Painting VI is totally dedicated to the Personal Project and aims to: - stimulate the ability to carry out an individual exhibition project from the beguinning to its end; - foster self-criticism regarding the work in progress; - expand creative skills and raise awareness of professional experience. The student acquires tools to know how to adapt the means to the ends, and to justify the criteria that support the creative decisions imposed by the artistic work. The Artistic Project should be considered in various aspects and languages and also be developed in the CU of Drawing VI and CU Painting Studio (optional). However, the work to be developed in these three CU must be distinct, although belonging to the same Personal Project.

PERSONAL PROJECT Stages of an Arts research methodology: -  idea   -  theoretical, conceptual and imagetic research: construction of dossier(s) with references of artists' works, books and other research on the ideas of each student to be developed in a Personal Project. -  proposals (minimum 2) with experimental conception made with sketches, photography, etc. -  choice and formulation of the final hypothesis as an exhibition project (technical issues: scale, materials, media, light, etc). -   execution.  Minimum requirements (20 small format paintings; or 10 medium format paintings - between 150x150cm - or 5 large format paintings - above 150 cm*) -  presentation in an exhibition context (assembly and disassembly). Fictitious and real exhibition (O&O) -  photographic documentation, press-release, poster, invitation and catalogue/folder -  portfolio, cv, bio and professional website. * Other proposals to be decided with the teacher.

The idea of a Personal Project to be developed in the context of several UCs (interdisciplinary and transversal) allows students to realise that their Project allows thematic and technical unfoldings and a greater production both in terms of quality and in terms of quality, since the monitoring is carried out by the various teachers (tutors) of each UC. The research dossier and the documentation are the same as those to be presented orally in the different UCs. However, the plastic work has to be unpublished and specific to each one. The intention of this strategy is the breadth of the Personal Project and the understanding, by the students, that a project can be more than a single work and, in this case, it must be able to have an individual exhibition designed for an exhibition space of the student's choice. The fictional exhibition allows a site-specific conception  (sketches or virtual) and the O&O demands apting the work to a real space, and test exhibition possibilities.

Dado o regime tutorial desta UC, são apresentadas monografias de artistas e catálogos de exposições institucionais de acordo com os interesses dos estudantes e as suas opções criativas e estéticas.
