Learning outcomes |
The course aims to develop in students an understanding of aesthetics as a sensory experience, centered on perception, attentiveness to the body, and direct engagement with artistic phenomena. It takes concrete experience as the starting point for aesthetic reflection, and the work carried out in the course focuses on problematizing aesthetic experience, describing sensation, and analyzing the conditions that shape perception.
By the end of the semester, students should be able to recognize and analyze the sensory elements that constitute aesthetic experience, articulating perception, emotion, and critical reflection. They are expected to acquire skills in careful observation and in the oral and written formulation of well-grounded descriptions and interpretations of aesthetic experience.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies combine theoretical sessions with practical sessions. The sessions follow a repertoire of forms participated by the teacher and students that bring together the objective description of the working documents, explanation and subjective discussion notes, articulated with tutoring for reading especially the selected texts.
The assessment involves writing a critical text that will be presented orally in class. Furthermore, during the semester, the student must read a work from the program in full and provide, in the context of a written assessment, a global understanding of the topic covered in it.
