General description A Historia da Arte en todos os estudos de Arquitectura, sempre foi un paréntesis e unha contribución complementaria ao exercicio de formación do proxecto do alumnado.

A historiografía da arte é unha ciencia multidisciplinar que busca un estudo obxectivo da arte, a través da historia, clasifica as culturas, establece periodoloxías e observa as súas características e influencias distintivas.

Con iso, buscamos coñecer os aspectos básicos que caracterizan os diferentes períodos e manifestacións artísticas e poder valorar, con máis precisión, as obras que aínda se conservan hoxe en día. Apreciar mellor o seu valor artístico e sociocultural, a influencia que tiveron nas etapas posteriores da historia e na nosa visión do mundo actual.

Assessment comments

IMPORTANT

Students must be assessed in all exercises to pass the course.

Second chance: Exam and the grades obtained in the continuous assessment during the academic period (cannot be repeated).

Both for full-time students and for those with recognition of part-time dedication and attendace waiver, the evaluation criteria will be the same. 

Attendance Waiver: students who have this right recognized by the UDC must fulfill the assessment requirement for passing the course. 

Plagiarism: plagiarism, as well as the fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply a failing grade, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities. 

 

Attendance: attendance and active participation are essential
