Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

Providing high-level technological know-how, utilizing the laboratory and technical skills available from 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, deepening
knowledge in bi or three-dimensional areas.
Taking into account the need of knowledge of the artistic techniques for the construction of the work, it is intended
that the student:
- To structure and develop a practical work, with an experimental approach, depending on its personal language
of the Project disciplines;
- Demonstrate the progression and the high degree of knowledge acquired through experimentation.

Contents

Knowledge of the 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 IV, the following content:
1. Ceramics technologies;
2. Glass technologies;
3. Foundations of bronze casting;
4. Serigraphy (students can further explore other techniques or technologies already studied).
In a complementary and punctual way, it is proposed the realization of practical workshops of short duration, of
high degree, that focus on various technologies, techniques and materials, according to the artist's plastic area
invited.

Teaching Methods

The assessment consists of a set of parameters related to the student's work, attendance, motivation and performance, as well as its evolution, taking into account the student's level of conceptual, technical and creative autonomy.

EVALUATION

In the NORMAL SEASON assessment students may choose one of two schemes: Continuous or Final Assessment.

1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SCHEME

Evaluation Components:

a. Class participation: 20%;
b. Work developed during the period with the accompaniment 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%.

2. FINAL EVALUATION SCHEME

a. Work developed during the period with the teacher's accompaniment: 40%;
b. Examination based on the contents taught: 60%.
