Teaching and learning methods

Within the ART modules, the development of work takes place in close dialogue with the student¿s main tutor through guidance, both individual and in groups, that stimulates exploration and experimentation. Group critiques encourage students to hone their reflective and analytical skills in relation to the work of their peers.

Students submit an individual semester plan outlining goals and proposed activities. These activities must correspond to the learning objectives of the module and must be approved by the main tutor.

This semester, each student presents their practice in the context of a group seminar. The presentation must contain documentation, contextual references, and critical reflection. Students additionally contribute to a group project presented within a public context. The project is planned, mounted, and executed by the students themselves.

While emphasis is on independent development, students are encouraged to attend lectures, presentations, seminars and workshops as available.
