  • The methodology combines theoretical lectures, image analysis and guided discussion, articulating multiple approaches to artistic practice and its historical, political and social contexts. An anachronic perspective is adopted, bringing together examples from different periods to encourage comparative readings and critical interpretation. Classes include debates, observation exercises and small research tasks that prompt students to connect theory and practice. Tutorial guidance supports individual development through structured study, writing and argumentation. Whenever possible, visits, meetings with professionals or digital resources complement the work developed in class. The methodology prioritises autonomous critical thinking, analytical rigour and the ability to contextualise artistic production across different times and contexts.

  • Develop a critical understanding of artistic practice in dialogue with different moments of history, adopting an anachronic approach that connects past and present. Identify continuities, shifts and tensions that shape artistic production, strengthening analytical, interpretative and contextual skills. Foster methodological autonomy through research practices that integrate theoretical references, observation, reflection and experimentation. Cultivate awareness of contemporary technological, social, political and cultural issues, understanding their impact on artistic creation and reception. Reinforce communication, argumentation and presentation skills, supporting the development of an independent critical voice.
  • The programme develops an anachronic path through History, connecting key moments to understand how technologies, media and concepts have reshaped artistic production. Through central case studies - from Baroque painting to contemporary practices - it examines themes such as image construction, perception, the relation between technique and meaning, and the shifting role of the viewer. It analyses continuities between traditional media and mechanical or digital devices, highlighting how photography, cinema and hybrid media have redefined ways of representing reality. Movements that transform notions of space, time and materiality, such as Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism and Abstraction, are addressed in dialogue with current debates on the body, politics, technology and image circulation. The aim is to provide a critical framework that situates contemporary artistic practice within its genealogies.
