Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

Provision of intermediate technological knowledge, using the technical and laboratory capacities available to
the school.
Development and production of 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 official technologies: chemical, bi-tridimensional and research
of technologies, techniques and materials in the realization of the proposed practical exercises, developing
knowledge in bi or three-dimensional areas.
Taking into account the need for knowledge of the artistic techniques for the construction 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 in-depth knowledge gained through experimentation.

Contents

Knowledge of the main foundations, 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. Proposed in this in UC Technologies and Artistic Materials II, the following content:
1. Two component rigid and flexible polyurethane foam modeling tests;
2. Subtractive process:
2.1. About a volume of rigid polyurethane foam;
2.2. About a volume of ceramic plaster;
3. Main foundations of stone sculpture;
3.1. Study of some more traditional stones in the area of sculpture;
4. Additive techniques in engraving; and / or Photogravure;
In a complementary and punctual way, short practical, intermediate-level workshops focusing on various technologies,
techniques and materials are proposed, according to the artist's area of expertise.

Teaching Methods

The program is chained with practical exercises and theoretical exhibitions.

EVALUATION
NORMAL TIME students can opt for a scheme: Continuous Evaluation or Final Evaluation.
RESOURCE TIME, SPECIAL AND EXTRAORDINARY, students only have the Final Evaluation.

1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
a) The evaluation components are: Participation in classes: 20%;
b) Work carried out during the period of classes with teacher's follow-up, which should be submitted to at least a periodic evaluation with public disclosure of the classifications: 40 %;
c) Presentation and defense of the work developed during the classes, occurs in the "Normal Time Evaluations": 40%.
- Final classification in the Normal Time, is the sum of a), b) and c).

2. FINAL EVALUATION
a) Work developed during the period of classes with teacher's follow-up: 40%;
b) Test based on the contents taught: 60%.
- Final classification in the Normal Time, is the sum of a) and b).
