The Master's Program in Contemporary Didactics of Visual Arts closely examines current trends in art education and its various models of artistic-pedagogical work. Within this framework, contemporary creation is addressed in its broad range of trends, topics, and conceptions of artistic thought, as evidenced in the current educational landscape. Didactic proposals of different kinds, relevant theoretical frameworks, and emerging issues in the visual arts are considered. The program promotes a contextualized and in-depth understanding of the research into different didactic trends linked to artistic production, connected to their socio-cultural and historical contexts.
