Teaching method

Theoretical and practical lessons, visits to museums, exhibitions and urban spaces.

Evaluation method

The evaluation will be based on two analytical reports of an object or artistic situation, with 1000 words max., one referring to the nineteenth century, and the other to the twentieth century; one in the field of fine arts, and the other in the field of architecture and urban space. One of these reports must be presented in class. All students will also take a written exam on all the subjects of the unit. The final grade is the arithmetic average of the three evaluation items (2 written reports, one of them presented orally, an d the exam) weighted on the basis of attendance (including study visits) and class participation.
