Class Tourism and Art

The UC of Art and Tourism encompasses the History of Art concerning Portugal and relates it to Tourism in the forms of supply and demand. The focus is on the identification, characterization and understanding of the Art developed in the various historical periods, developing in the student the knowledge of Portuguese heritage resources and references to Western European Art. Art is essential in tourism and in the construction of Cultural Tourism and, being taught in the 2nd year, this UC develops and structures the student's knowledge base, combining history, artistic movements and the most representative heritage references of Portugal.

In order to bring the learning methodologies closer to the current guidelines for student-centred teaching, the following actions will be applied:
It is intended to use Moodle to streamline the exchange of information gathered and the discussion between the groups on the topics under analysis that will be carried out in an environment external to the classroom environment. The use of this platform for these purposes corresponds to the A3ES guideline in order to stimulate and promote "learning communities in virtual environments" and "cooperative learning".
Interactive Exposure will be preferably applied, together with methods centred on Inquiry and Cooperation, promoting individual student participation and their integration in working and research groups. The already used Problem-Based Learning and Case Studies methods will be reinforced in the approach to the labour market, guided visits and practical classes, fulfilling the A3ES guideline "Learning in the Workspace".
