Description
Make the student aware to the fact that Drawing, as a discipline, crosses different kinds of knowledge, related with Human Sciences, Pure Sciences and Conservation-Restoration Science, raising various practical, technical, physic and chemical, ideological and aesthetical questions among others.
Heighten the student’s awareness of drawing history, of the hand-made production, sometimes empirical, of the materials used in the past, and of the importance of the graphical cultural heritage.
Know the basic terminology applied to Drawing, and the difficulty or limits that linguistic aspects raise in Portuguese to specify different ways of representation.
Confront the student with the conceptual, visual and material distance that exists between the perceptive world and the depicted world.
Develop the student’s manual skills and their capacity to work with different materials and supports.
Develop the student’s capacity to produce two-dimensional and three- dimensional renditions of objects.
Develop the student’s keenness of vision and the notion of «points of view», conducing the students to draw objects, monuments or spaces, in different contexts (in the classroom, in situ or in museums, and in the open air).
Train visual memory, mastering progressively the shape of simple and complex objects, drawing them repetitively with or without direct observation.
