History of Art and Visual Culture

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Basic subject which offers an introduction to the general history of art and visual culture as a framework for understanding the relationships between Art and Design, origins, developments and interconnections. In its dynamics, the classes promote non-linear thinking about the history of art, associating and drawing parallels between different artists, periods and artistic movements, from Antiquity to the 21st Century. This approach demonstrates to the student the recursion of history and the consequent importance of knowing the past to build the future. To analyze and understand that the contexts of Art History and Visual Culture are inseparable from each other, and that they are articulated in theories and processes allowing the construction of a network of fundamental strategies for the study in Design. The UC includes a practical part in order to investigate and graphically explore some of the concepts covered, according to different techniques and materials.
