Teaching Methods
The classes will consist of practical exercises of illustrations realized in parallel with the knowledge and examples
provided. Throughout the exercises there will be regular monitoring by the teachers. For a sufficiently deep
knowledge and practice in the different techniques, the student will be referred to the practical realization, to
deepen a technique in the research and correct production of final practical work. The theoretical / practical
classes are complemented with images, references and individual research.
The evaluation consists of a set of parameters related to the work performed, attendance, motivation and performance,
as well as its evolution, taking into account the level of technique, conceptual autonomy and creativity
of the student. During the semester there will be continuous evaluation tests and a final evaluation. In the
final evaluation the students are evaluated by a jury composed by the teacher of the course and other teachers
of the course, who will appreciate the work developed globally and assign a final quantitative classification.
Standard Season (Continuous Assessment + Final Assessment)
Continuous Assessment (60%)
• 50% attendance

Final Assessment (40%)
