Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Provision of various technological knowledge at an introductory level, utilizing the laboratory and technical
skills provided by the school.
Development and production of simple objects or formalization of ideas according to the specific area of
interest of the student.
Learning in the use of materials, practice of tools and means of work within the scope of laboratories.
Stimulation of experimentation and research in practical technologies: chemical, bi-dimensional and research
of technologies, techniques and materials in the realization of the proposed practical exercises, developing new
knowledge or knowledge already acquired, in bi or three-dimensional areas.
Taking into account the need of knowledge of the technologies and artistic techniques for the elaboration of the
work, it is intended that the student learn to:
- Structuring and developing a practical work, with an experimental approach;
- Demonstrate the progression and knowledge gained through experimentation.

Contents
Knowledge of the basic fundamentals, origin and development of the techniques, systems and processes of the
techniques and technologies to be realized.
Work rules and safety rules.
The physical properties of the materials and their manipulation. Carrying out practical exercises to apply the
different techniques proposed and appropriate to the student's interest and trajectory, in the existing laboratory
areas in the School. Proposing itself in this in UC Technologies and Artistic Materials I, the following content:
1. Structures:
1.1. Construction of simple structures in various metal elements;
1.2. Construction of simple structures in various elements of wood and derivatives;
1.3. Modeling of fabrics embedded in gypsum, resin or glue;
1.4. Study of skates on ceramic plaster;
2. Thermoplastics and basic thermoforming principles:
2.1. Thermoforming tests on polystyrene sheet;
3. Elementary principles of the plasma cutting technique in sheet metal;
3.1. Printing of the tests carried out on the plate;
4. Monotype;
5. Watercolor;
6. Tests with natural pigments.
In a complementary and punctual way, it is proposed the realization of practical workshops of short duration, of
introductory degree, that focus on several technologies, techniques and materials, according to the plastic area
of the invited artist.

Teaching Methods
In the NORMAL SEASON assessment students may choose one of two schemes: Continuous or Final Assessment.
The SPECIAL and EXTRAORDINARY assessments are governed by the Final Evaluation scheme.
1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SCHEME COMPONENTS
a. Class participation: 20%;
b. Work developed during the period with the aid of the teacher, which must be submitted, at least, to a periodic evaluation with public disclosure of the classifications: 40%;
c. Presentation and defense of the work developed during the classes, which occurs during the "Regular Season Evaluations": 40%.
The student's final grade, which will appear on the Normal Season students exams list, is the sum of a), b) and c).
2. FINAL EVALUATION SCHEME COMPONENTS
a. Work developed during the period with the teacher's aid: 40%;
b. Examination based on the contents taught: 60%. The student's final grade, which will appear on the Normal Season students exams list, is the sum of a) and b)."
