Visual analysis of selected artworks
30 Abril 2026, 17:00 • Paula Alexandra Carvalho Alves Rodrigues Horta
In the first part of the lesson, students engaged in visual analysis of selected artworks using key theoretical frameworks to deepen their understanding of representation and meaning. They also reflected on their own role as viewers, recognising how spectatorship actively shapes interpretation and contributes to meaning-making. In the second part, students received their written tests and reviewed a model student response alongside the marking rubric, enabling them to identify areas for improvement and develop more effective exam strategies.
The Gaze and the Gendered Body: Power, Representation, and Ways of Seeing
28 Abril 2026, 17:00 • Paula Alexandra Carvalho Alves Rodrigues Horta
This lesson explored how vision is culturally and historically constructed, focusing on the concept of the gaze and its role in shaping gendered representation in Western art. Drawing on ideas from John Berger, it distinguished between nakedness and nudity while examining how images of the body are linked to power, ownership, and objectification. Students analysed symbolic devices such as mirrors and poses to understand how they reinforce self-surveillance and control, and connect these historical visual conventions to contemporary visual culture, revealing how ways of seeing continue to influence representation today.
