Overview

This course establishes the coordinated fundamentals for the development of
different forms of artistic expression from its origin until the contemporary era. The
course analyzes the cultural process through the relations between image, design,
and thought systems centering attention on symbolic models, which allow the
establishment of historical guidelines as they appeared. The elected themes favor the
recognition of the dialogical relations between the western culture and Latin
America, this as an enrichment and the actualization of the focuses for the reflection
on the most recent artistic practices.
