PROGRAM

PROGRAM

1° YEAR

Morphology and Dynamics of Form
The widespread use of iconic languages and the development of new technologies, now irreversible, are cultural events of such great importance that they involve the whole of society, transforming the mental image that man has of the world and of himself. The effects of these events on the formative level are all to be explored: think, for example, of the mental conditioning that derives from television or advertising images, the loss of historical meaning, the different relationship between rational and irrational and so on.

History of contemporary art

Through thematic lessons and a conspicuous relative iconographic system, the course will provide basic knowledge of works and artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Introduced by a concise analysis of the historical avant-gardes of the turn of the century, this part of the course will focus on the stylistic and theoretical evolution that has characterized Western artistic research from the break made by Pollock’s dripping to the most recent contemporary proposals.

Considering the profound transformations that have taken place on the concept of “work of art” and on the speed of change of artistic language, we will try to dispel doubts and discomforts, clichés and false beliefs of a cultural adventure that has crossed and upset the parameters of the last sixty years and which continues to be, against all odds, vital and engaging.

Drawing For Decoration

Through the educational path, the student will be able to experiment with different decoration techniques, acquiring the ability to use these tools to communicate the project.

Audiovisual Theory

The course illustrates the main stages in the history of audiovisuals, from the birth of photography to the present day, through the relationship between technology and aesthetics. The stylistic, expressive and narrative evolutions of cinema are related to the technological advances of the means of production and the evolution of the cinematographic language.

Illustration

The aim of the course is to understand the professional traits of the Illustrator. It introduces the tools and methods of visual or narrative interpretation of specific themes or subjects. The goal is to help the students develop the ability to “look at things” with the eyes of those who, sooner or later, will find themselves having to design them adapting to the needs of a “profession” very different from free artistic expression.

Typology Of Materials
Through the course, students will be able to learn about materials that are used for graphics and are an integral part of the design work of communication products. You will be able to understand how to best set up your work during presentation to customers and how to use certain technologies to make communication products more attractive.

Computer Graphic

Aimed to develop the knowledge of the compositional space. The course will examine the applications of graphic design to focus on the relationship between typography and image aimed at building correct communication. In particular, students will acquire the tools and methods related to the structural setting of a correct hierarchy of elements. These skills are necessary to be able to fully manage a professional graphic project.

Digital Video

The course is a workshop where you can experiment with digital technology in the video field. Practice and theory have a parallel trend in order to activate multiple views on the various genres in which video technology is applied. Individual exercises of shooting, writing, editing and the analysis of audiovisual material belonging to different genres are particularly important. These exercises have as their purpose the research and experimentation of language and of the medium, preliminary to any classification.

English
The goal of this course is to help students to increase their language skills up to an intermediate level – B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) – through a gradual path.

Fundamentals of Computer Science

The aim is to respond adequately to the challenge launched by the job market, not only through knowledge and deepening of cultural and technical areas, but also through the “tools” to use to carry out the process.
To master an adequate tool is an indispensable condition for achieving a valid and productive goal for our work needs.

PROGRAM

2° YEAR

Aesthetics

The course aims to introduce the ways in which the concept of “Aesthetics” is articulated in disciplines such as the history of art, favoring its theoretical aspects focused on the problem of knowledge of internal and external realities, through the relationship between analytic and imaginary reason, in a condition of continuous exchange, with entropy and difference.
