Description

This subject is part of the Communication, Expression and Documentation. This subject represents a basic training in English language aiming to introduce the students to the use of this language in the professional field. This workshop focuses on the linguistic and performative elements of communication, starting from a creative conception of the texts and forms of presentation that accompany and shape the work in art. Students will be presented with different approaches to the subject, which will be treated through specific practical exercises aimed at exploring specific problems and experimenting with the text through written and oral presentation, as well as in relation to other media and languages. The proposals will be contextualized through historical and theoretical frameworks which enable situating each practice with respect to its tradition and contemporary languages, with specific referents and the analysis of its different physical, aesthetic and cultural dimensions.
