- The teaching methodology consists of oral and visual presentation (Slideshow, movies and documentaries, artworks, illustrations, artist’s books) followed by debate in class. All teaching materials will be available on Moodle in advance and will be assigned to each weekly lesson. Students are advised to consult them beforehand so that they are prepared to discuss and ask questions in class(Fliped Classroom). In addition, Moodle is also the platform for communication and interaction with students regarding announcements, lesson planning, the distribution of assignments and the timetable for the various assessment moments.
- Mandatory
- The students are expected to acquire theoretical and practical skills in the field of Visual Culture and Image Theory, with special focus on illustration. To do so, the students must approach image and illustration in its conceptual characteristics, artistic language, intertext and practice (in relation to the context of its production/reception and other objects). Students should acquire skills that prepare them for the act of looking, researching, problematizing and critically connecting imagens, supports and contexts. Focused on the contemporary paradigms, this CU should allow the students to identify those in their specific contexts. The students are expected to be able to produce critical (and artistic) discourse on the different expressions of illustration and to consciously position themselves in relation to their own artistic practices.

O recurso à Inteligência Artificial não é considerada uma ferramenta de trabalho nesta UC, sob qualquer circunstância, uma vez que esta UC visa exercitar no estudante a capacidade de adquirir e desenvolver a sua cultura visual de modo a poder construir um discurso próprio, coerente e reflexivo sobre objetos visuais e a visualidade contemporânea, aplicando os fundamentos teóricos abordados na aula a exemplos práticos. Neste sentido, assume-se que todas as adversidades que poderão surgir (bloqueios, dificuldade em organizar o pensamento, o discurso, aplicar e articular conceitos e ideas, etc.) fazem parte do processo de aprendizagem e devem resultar do exercício e esforço intelectual, e natural, do estudante, de quem se espera uma gradual aprendizagem e melhoramento destes aspectos ao longo do semestre.
A avaliação é contínua, sendo composta por:
- 40% Discussões orais, e relatórios escritos ao longo das aulas, de tópicos dos conteúdos programáticos em articulação textos da bibliografia.
- 50% Teste escrito sobre os conteúdos programáticos.
- 10% Avaliação contínua, intercalar e final com critérios de assiduidade (75% de presenças), participação e pontualidade.
A avaliação em época de recurso implica a realização de uma Prova Oral.
A avaliação em época especial implica a apresentação oral dos trabalhos solicitados ao longo da disciplina, seguida de uma prova oral .
Os critérios gerais de avaliação desta UC centram-se:
- na integridade e autenticidade intelectual, académia e artística;
- na capacidade de articulação de conceitos e procedimentos provenientes da Cultura Visual e da interpretação de imagens;
- atenção e participação nos debates em aula;
- realização de trabalho autónomo;
- capacidade de formular questões relativas aos conteúdos programáticos e estabelecer relações críticas entre os mesmos;
Os critérios específicos de cada exercício serão explicitados em cada enunciado e de acordo com a tipologia e objetivos de cada exercício que pode alterar de ano para ano.
The use of Artificial Intelligence is not considered a work tool in this subject, under any circumstances, since this subject aims to exercise the student’s ability to develop their critical thinking and thereby to improve their own artistic identity and authenticity. In this sense, it is assumed that all adversities that may arise (blockages, difficulty in organizing thought, speech, applying and articulating concepts and ideas, etc.) are part of the learning process and must result from the exercise of an intellectual and natural effort developed by the student, from who is expected to gradually learn and improve these aspects throughout the semester.
The assessment is continuous, consisting of:
40% Oral discussions and written reports throughout the lessons on topics from the syllabus in articulation with texts in the bibliography.
50% Written test on the syllabus contents.
10% Continuous, mid-term and final assessment with criteria of attendance (75% attendance), participation and punctuality.
Assessment during the appeal period involves carrying out an Oral Test.
Assessment during the special period involves the oral presentation of the work requested throughout the course, followed by an Oral Test.
The general evaluation criteria for this Curricular Unity focus on:
- intellectual, academic and artistic integrity and authenticity;
- in the ability to articulate concepts and procedures from Visual Culture and the interpretation of images;
- attention and participation in class debates;
- carrying out autonomous work;
- ability to formulate questions regarding the syllabus and establish critical relationships between them;
The specific criteria for each exercise will be detailed in each exercise statement according to the type and objectives of the exercise which may change yearly.
