- Classes are divided into two seven-week modules. Each module is accompanied by a teacher and involves the development of an exercise. 1st Module: Visual narrative: 6 weeks of illustrating two short stories with a minimum of 4 illustrations each with the aim of creating an illustrated album that compiles all the short stories illustrated by the students in a Silent Book logic. This exercise will be assessed on the 7th week in the presence of the two teachers. 2nd Module: Descriptiveness of images: Illustrated album about an animal (free of narrative) belonging to a Lisbon association (e.g. Zoo, Pedagogical Farm, Oceanarium, Vasco da Gama Aquarium, etc.) Each student chooses an animal as the theme for 10 illustrations, front and back cover. The technique is free. The aim is for each student to produce a silent book to ensure that the images are self-sufficient.

Understand and distinguish anatomical structures and proportions of different animal species: terrestrial, aerial, marine and amphibian. b. Represent different types of textures and surface patterns. E) Develop individual graphic expression, perfecting various graphic techniques; F) Develop 2 illustration projects (visual narrative and visual description; G) Realise two books (one collective and one individual).

Illustration projects: development of 2 illustrated album projects.
Os conteúdos programáticos são desenvolvidos em dois exercícios que culminam em dois Albuns ilustrados. Estes, são acompanhados pelas respectivas docentes e precedidos por introduções teóricas, demonstrações práticas e exemplos. As ilustrações são realizados em aula e no módulo 2 os estudantes também podem realizar trabalho de campo e recolher informação no exterior, fora do horário letivo (Zoo, Oceanário, etc.). Uma visita colectiva é realizada ao lugar eleito em cada ano lectivo.
Os dois projetos de álbum ilustrado consolidam os conhecimentos adquiridos. A nota final expressa critérios de assiduidade e pontualidade (20%), bem como de cumprimento dos objetivos da UC. A avaliação processa-se de três formas: contínua (comparência obrigatória a 75% das aulas); intermédia (1 por módulo) e a final que incide sobre todo o trabalho do semestre. Para cada projeto há crítica e autocrítica na análise dos resultados durante as aulas e nas avaliações. A avaliação final resulta da apreciação dos dois Albuns (40% cada um) e da assiduidade/pontualidade (20%).
Critérios de avaliação dos Álbuns ilustrados:
- Expressividade e originalidade das ilustrações;
- Eficácia narrativa e/ou descritiva das ilustrações;
- Coerência cromática e figurativa;
- Adequação da capa e da contracapa ao miolo;
- Proposta de paginação para impressão.
- Semestral
- This course aims to help students work through the different stages of designing and producing an illustrated album (idea, design and editing). The syllabus promotes two lines of continuity: visual narrative and visual description.
