Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

General objectives: The classes aim to provide theoretical references and practices in Design, Visual Arts and Multimedia with a focus in the area of content-editing tools at an advanced level, and to explore empirical stimuli in the visual perception. It is also intent to develop the skills of analysis and critical sense, the control of software at the advanced level of practical exercises based on functional and aesthetic criteria. This will be achieved through the creation and assembly of bitmap images and vector constructed by the student and emulation of natural environments.
Specific Objectives: The aim is to enhance and develop the control of illustration, processing and photo retouching for photography, video and animation through digital editing tools. The student must be endowed with skills that enable him to respond on a professional advanced level to a brief using illustration and digital retouching and treatment ito the areas of Design, Visual Arts and Multimedia.

Teaching Methods

This course unit aims to develop students? skills in using software for the design of practical exercises based on functional and aesthetic criteria, in the development of vector drawings, and their application to photographic images. Students will be able to master different software for different areas through the creation of advanced automation of vector drawings and animated images.
The methodologies employed are structured at both scientific and pedagogical levels to guide the resolution of each exercise and contribute to the students? learning progression. In this way, students will acquire the skills necessary to provide professional-level responses in the fields of illustration, digital image editing, and retouching.

Assessment

Research and the use of project-based methodologies will be promoted. Classes will be conducted in a lecture format, encouraging debate and the sharing of information. Assessment is continuous, with intermediate evaluation moments and, at the end of the semester, a final assessment conducted in a jury format.
ASSESSMENT
In the Regular Assessment Period, students may choose one of two assessment regimes: Continuous Assessment or Final Assessment.
1. Continuous Assessment Regime
Assessment components:
Class participation ? 20%;
Work developed during the semester under the supervision of the lecturer, which must be submitted to at least one periodic assessment moment with public disclosure of grades ? 40%;
Presentation and defense of the work developed during classes, to be held during the Regular Assessment Period ? 40%.
2. Final Assessment Regime
Work developed during the semester under the supervision of the lecturer ? 40%;
Written examination based on the course contents ? 60%.
