ABSTRACT: The nineteenth century was a century of resurgence of a classical art with Greek and Roman origins. The fact that an area such as archeology has begun the excavations of the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy reveals a set of works of art and ways of life from a period prior to the Jewish and Catholic period of a Europe of the Century XIX. Several questions arise at the level of neoclassical thought of this period. Thus, we see the emergence of works of art inspired by classical themes of Greek mythology and whose representations of this period include myths such as Leda, the Muse (...)

ABSTRACT: Assuming that musical learning is an important tool for the development of children and can promote and / or require specific learning styles as well as high self-efficacy perception levels, we intend to compare two groups of students, music students and students who have never had this experience, regarding the variables "perceived self-efficacy" and "learning styles". In order to respond to the objectives of the study, a descriptive, correlational research design was used to identify significantly higher levels of self-efficacy in students of specialized music (...)

ABSTRACT: This paper comprises an analysis of some works by artist-artisans Anne Wilson (b. 1949) and Kathrin Stumreich (b. 1976) in which the intersection of craft, performance and technology is explored, while using textiles. The merge of artisanal and digital techniques in their video, performance and participatory pieces brings about reflections on the materiality of the artifact and the immateriality of the digital or performative work, the artist-artisan’s hand and body, along with the spectator’s body. The blend of handwork and technology in both artists’ pieces (...)

ABSTRACT: Sometimes considerable as a fashion or trend phenomenon, in these last years the industrial archaeology has determined the recovery of several forbidden industrial buildings, cultural heritage of the end of the different industrial revolutions. This phenomenon involves strong economic and social implications, and revolves around the concept of patina, indispensable witness of the use and of the passage of time, that nowadays (and not only in interior design but also in furnishings and fashion) determines not only architectural phenomena, but also new ones to evaluate which it is (...)

ABSTRACT: Learning how to play an instrument involves a wide range of factors which are beyond the work done within the class room. Not only that, it also englobes study techniques that allow the student, in a relatively autonomous way, to study in a conscious and sustainable way. Having this in mind, this work offers some insight on how to help the student find his own ways of developing that extra work in regards to sound, how to practice and building repertoire.  KEYWORDS: Flute;teaching and learning; music education; organization of instrumental study; methodologies of (...)

It is intended to reflect on the technological contributions, while design and practice linked preferably to (bio) ecology and forms of industrial production, more efficient, and enjoy the (...)

ABSTRACT: In the scope of qualitative methods, the visual data have gained prominence, namely the photo-elicitation interview, where photographs are used to evoke comments, memories and dialogue. Although widely applied in the areas of Ethnography and Anthropology, it is still limited its use in the field of Family Psychology. The main aim of the present work is to explore how the photo-elicitation interviews can contribute to know the perceptions of parents of persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) about their Family Quality of Life (FQoL). In families of persons with ID, FQoL can be (...)

There is also an initiation regime (first cycle), however, without total funding, causing the existence of students with different levels in the first grade. The most widely used and well-known violin teaching methods in Portugal do not have an efficient applicability to the existing system, because the authors of those methods were foreign, the methods were created for different realities and adapted to earlier ages than the entry into the first degree (...)

ABSTRACT: It is intended to reflect on the current role of Information Design, emphasizing its importance in dissemination of messages useful and usable for individuals, in a period increasingly characterized by excessive information. Information Designer presents himself as a "transformer" of information, a "translator" of what is real, since he has to understand first and then to know how to explain phenomena, which presupposes certain mental and technical procedures. It is necessary to reduce "noise" that invades our environment, to impose information and (...)

ABSTRACT: This article comes as part of the PhD thesis developing design with main focus on tattoo as a graphic expression, in Portugal. One of the most important characteristics of the tattoo is the fact of materializing certain biographical aspects about its wearer, as well as "denouncing" in a more or less direct way its consumption and its identity construction. The tattoo as a graphic expression, will not only inscribe ink in the form of letters in Portuguese human skin, but "impressions" of the individual world of a particular consumer in relation to their social (...)
