Generals
1. Acquire skills for the development of instrumental and relevant learning: capacity for analysis, synthesis, organization and planning, problem solving, access and information management, critical reasoning, autonomous learning and oral and written expression.
2. Acquire skills related to the appreciation of the work of art: sensitivity towards issues related to historical and cultural heritage, recognizing creativity, originality, transcendence and aesthetic values. Appreciate and interpret different styles of Art History in a particular way.
3. Develop skills to apply the management of new information and communication technologies (ICTs), the Internet and its digital resources to the discipline of Art History.
Specific
1. Acquire a systematic and integrated knowledge of contemporary art, from the Enlightenment to the end of the 19th century, with the ability to contextualise, analyze and differentiate the artistic manifestations of that period.
2. Distinguish, appreciate and systematize integrated knowledge of the artistic fact: different languages (architecture and urbanism, sculpture, painting, applied arts, etc.), procedures and techniques, and the evolution of each of them.
3. Know and apply the basic rules of construction of academic essays and critical thinking, adapting it to the specific case proposed for the final project.
The teaching-learning methodology is theoretical-practical, the result of the combination of:
1. Exhibition sessions: Class attendance is mandatory. The teacher will explain the theoretical contents using the magisterial lesson and promoting the participation of the students. The sessions will be supported by audiovisual material.
2. Interactive sessions: Students will work in pairs on an artist or stylistic movement, determined in advance by the teacher. The teacher will give some basic guidelines for preparing this, as well as support bibliography and monitoring throughout the process whenever the student requires it. The work will be exposed in the interactive sessions.
3. Individual tutorials: The students will use the tutorials to solve the doubts that arise in everything related to the subject, but especially in the process of preparing the work. In them, the teacher will carry out a personalized follow-up, adjusting each work structure to its content and sources.
4. Field practice: A field practice is contemplated, in the Museum of Pontevedra, subject to financing by the Faculty, on a mandatory and evaluable basis.
• The evaluation will be continuous. The final mark will be the result of the four scores of the evaluation instruments:
1. Exam: percentage of 70%. Recognition of pictures seen and not seen in class. Results to be evaluated: Differentiation of the styles explained in class and their general characteristics applied to the work, chronological framing, identification of the artist, correct wording, etc.
2. Work: percentage of 20%. Results to be evaluated: Work planning, search and management of information and sources, correct oral expression, management of ICTs, management of scientific bibliography, conclusions that reflect critical thinking.
3. Assistance: percentage of 10%. Results to be evaluated: Attendance at the 10 interactive sessions in which the roll will be called
• To pass the subject with continuous evaluation it will be necessary to pass the two parts (exam and work) separately with a minimum score of 5/10. The continuous evaluation will be lost if there is a percentage of faults greater than 30% (3 faults), even if work has been presented, it being mandatory to recover the interactive ones through a higher part in the theoretical exam.
• If on the date of the first call written test (May/June), the exam or the interactives are failed, you must attend the extraordinary call (June/July) only with the corresponding parts failed. The approved parts will be saved for the final grade.
• If the student is exempt from attendance by granting a waiver, according to the criteria stipulated in the USC regulations (according to Instruction no. 1/2017 of the General Secretariat on the waiver of class attendance in certain circumstances), will be evaluated with a specific written test that will mean 100% of the qualification.
Face-to-face: 51 hours (Master classes: 32 hours, Interactive lessons: 16 hours, Tutorials: 3 hours)
Non-face-to-face: 99 hours (Autonomous study: 55 hours, Preparation of interactives: 22 hours, Individual work on the dictionary: 22 hours)
Total: 150 hours
For a good follow-up of the subject, it is essential to have motivation and work capacity, attending the face-to-face sessions and fulfilling the non-face-to-face activities in the established times. We recommend that the student consult the bibliography proposed in the program, and that he attends the tutorials whenever he needs it. It would be convenient for the student to have the ability to read in a foreign language, in addition to basic computer skills.
- Attention to diversity: Royal Legislative Decree 1/2013 of November 29th, which approves the “Consolidated Text of the General Law on the rights of people with disabilities and their social inclusion”, published in the BOE (December the 3rd, 2013) will be applied. Link
- In the event of academic fraud, as defined in article 42 of the Regulations establishing the rules of coexistence of the University of Santiago de Compostela and in accordance with the provisions of article 11. g) of the Law on University Coexistence, the sanctions provided for in the regulations will be applied. Premeditated behaviors aimed at falsifying the results of an exam or assignment include plagiarism and the non-consensual use of Artificial Intelligence tools.
