Objectives

This Masters course, in the specific field of the scientific area of Drawing, has the fundamental purpose of deepening and updating theorectical and pratical knowledge and the corresponding skills development, exercised, particularly, in activities of research or works that project innovative applications of knowledge. Hence, it should also result in gains of autonomy that expand prospects in the labor market, contributing also to professional performances guided by high quality standards and demands.

The cultural and technological changes over the past two decades, have been changing the ways of representation and graphic production and gave rise to new forms of teaching-learning and practical applications of drawing. The graphic expression as a specific field of artistic achievement doesn’t represents today all of the functions of drawing, taking into account the importance of the development of informatics and information, produced by computer, and transmitted in graphic form. In this context, the cognitive-communicative function of drawing as an instrument of research and scientific information is relevant and lacks adequate systematic framework. The purpose of this Master course is to create a response accordant to the needs of consolidation and deepening of theoretical and practical knowledge and the corresponding skills development in the field of Drawing. To the interest in developing work in this area, every year expressed by people with artistic training, joins the others with training in the areas of Design, Architecture and Art Education.
