aiming at a growing artistic autonomy on the part of the student.
The students will regularly present synopses, texts, images and other elements related to their personal project.
The evaluation will be continuous taking into account the attendance, commitment of the student, the imaginative
and creative capacity, the work done in response to the exercises proposed, and the evolution of the student

will appreciate the work developed globally and assign a final quantitative classification.
