1. Art and Humanism. Renaissance.     1.1. Anthropocentrism, Classicism, Reformation.     1.2. The Portuguese Case. 2. Mannerism. Crises and Changes. Belle Maniera. 3. The 18th Century, Baroque and Rococo. 4. The 19th Century: Revivals.

Interactive classes, based on group dynamics. The projection of images of works of art from the artistic periods under study, focusing on the Portuguese case, the reading of texts, and the showing of short films will be the starting point for analysis and joint discussion. To enhance dialogue, the various themes are presented in advance. Continuous assessment will be based on: evaluation tests (40%), a project/assignment to be carried out throughout the semester (25%) with an oral presentation of the results to the class (25%), also considering participation, attendance, and punctuality (10%).
