Teaching Methods
The programme is linked to a series of pre-scheduled practical laboratory exercises.
Practical exhibitions, using audiovisual materials and images by various artists throughout the history of art, provide a transversal and interdisciplinary view of multimedia. Practical laboratory experimentation in the field of mural design leads to skills in communicating visually using a clear and effective basic language.
