8 Oct 2024 to 17 Jun 2025
Tuesdsays and Thursdays 20h00-22h30
Teachers: Hugo Bernado, João Catarino, João Migueis, Marcelo Costa and Margot Vilaça.
The Evening Course in Drawing/Painting follows the general pedagogical orientations of the standard daytime course, providing a more diversified training and a quicker widening of the students’ cultural, aesthetic and technical horizons. Teachers will likewise attend to the students’ progress in a personalized and differentiated way. Within this context, practical and thematic exercises help promote the students’ capacities for observation and representation as well as the development of their expressive skills. Emphasis on experimentation in what regards both working modes and materials (oil paint, India ink, gouache, charcoal, oil pastel, graphite, etc.) ensure that students will gradually acquire an awareness of the more relevant questions regarding contemporary artistic production. Progress is closely followed by teachers and confirmed in formal evaluations with the presence of the head of department. For each level of the Course, the main objective is the constitution of a portfolio that is both abundant and as personal as possible.
The Evening Course promotes the development of technical and artistic skills in the areas of Painting/Drawing. Further development options: Level 3 of the Standard Course in Painting or Drawing, Advanced Course in the Visual Arts, Individual Project or other.

Creative writing workshop applied to the picturebook. Participants will carry out practical exercises in creative writing, or writing and illustration, and learn techniques to unblock writing.
The motto for this workshop is found in short texts that will be read in class: from Aesop's fables to the surprising poems of Brian Bilston, by way of Mayakovsky's children's books, The Characters, by Theophrastus, or A Book of Nonsense, by Edward Lear. An approach to these and other texts will help to recognize the mechanisms of narrative and writing, serving as an inspiration to the students.
At the end of the workshop, students are expected to hand in a final work where they put into practice the knowledge acquired.

In this workshop we focus on exploring the documentary method as a specific strategy, one that is part of a broader cinematographic practice. Through a series of films, texts and practical exercises proposed and discussed in class, we will map some of the fundamental problems raised by the relationship that cinema establishes with reality, which is at the heart of documentary practice. In part, this mapping will be guided by the problems that participants will encounter when preparing their final task: producing a short film (with a maximum of 5 minutes) with a free theme.

Evening Course in Ceramics 3 is the thrird and last year of the Evening Course in Ceramics. The partici-pants’ progress is evaluated by various teachers and formally confirmed, twice a year, by the head of de-partment. Throughout the school year individual portfolios – ideally consistent and diversified - will be built. Distinctive characteristics of Ceramics 3: strong emphasis on personal, autonomous authorial work; command of diversified ceramics techniques; pieces in bigger dimensions; fluency in building with coils, slab and carving blocks; different types of finishes and modes of construction; importance attributed to experimentation and concentration as factors of rigour and progress. Participants are expected to accompa-ny the firing of pieces and become autonomous in the use of kilns.

In the creative act, as in its reception, aesthetic experience tends to exceed the limits of perceptibility. Following the path of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze's transcendental empiricism, the course will approach this fact from the point of view of an aesthetics of the virtual as it can amplify the perception of forms through the forces that trigger, populate and express them. This course focuses on studying three main axes – sensation, space, and time – and establishing connections with other authors' different artistic processes and philosophical thoughts that support the meaning that crosses them. By following the future orientation that seems to define modern and contemporary art, the course also seeks to think about the potency of art in transforming the world.

Going back to the thread of myths and to the dream that unleashes fantasy events, whether in legends or in the narratives of the oldest children’s stories, we will now follow the theoretical and artistic clues that sustain them. In accordance with platonic theory, imagination is similar to fantasy, like a ghost, a simulacrum or a premonition that emerges in vision. Following legends, between Eros and Thanatos, the dream allows the spirit to wander through “blind visions”, or nightmares, accompanying corporeal metamorphosis, when waking life and reason cease to pay attention.
We will follow these mutations thoughout age old stories and images, from the dormants in mountains and caves, or sleeping beauties, to the nocturnal digressions of Little Nemo, until they start to move in Comic strips or in cinema.

Myths, legends and traditional stories are forms of things “seen”, even when never actually witnessed. They are rooted in the depths of the unconscious and of the tímeless memory kept in dreams. To illustrate means to bring something to light and is also a means to render visible what the letter kills.
A thread connects the most ancient initiatory evocations of entering adult life: the meaning of the nymphs and the wrath they provoque (as Roberto Calasso so aptly described), the enchantment and whirlwind that from Greco-Latin Antiquity nymphs moves on to the inspiring muses of artists, the sleep/dream of sleeping beauties, the meeting between boys, girls and animals, the metamorphosis that surface in young girls who are also animal.
