Practical theoretical workshop. Oriented towards the recognition of the pictorial surface as a field of representation and abstraction, on which forms are distributed and articulated in compositions based on complex, mobile and organic models. The guided exercises and activities are aimed at making observation more complex, keeping color theory in mind, so that the student can systematize the administration of the color palette to an optimal degree in learning painting. The workshop will delve into the material possibilities of pictorial media through the acquisition of language tools (for example, atmosphere, synthesis, carnation, visual organization) and, on the other hand, complements the analysis, reflection and interpretation of the developed pictorial image, accompanied, in parallel, by theoretical references.

The general purpose of the course is to develop students' capacity for critical analysis through the study of Social Critique, Critical Theory, Cultural Studies, and Cultural Critique.
