. SYNOPSIS of this COURSE - "be a Visual Artist":

• More than just teaching a single technique of painting, drawing or sculpture, this is a very comprehensive course for the contemporary plastic artist;

• and also for the visual arts teacher who wants to have a full and authentic pedagogy;

• but also for all those who want to finally understand the visual arts in order to absorb it and achieve a much more complete general culture.

The past in art is extremely important, so that we don't repeat the same mistakes and learn from the most intimate and tiniest characteristics of the personality of essential artists. There are several myths and a huge lack of knowledge about what contemporary art is, leading to attitudes of denial, in the face of the visual aggressiveness of many disruptive works of our time.
