Abstract:
The European convergence of the university, the educational practice in art and the presence of new technologies as tools for learning, initiate this article. The change process that the University has undergone mainly in competence-based learning points out some issues that we want to debate: Do we need an educational system primarily dependent on labour demand? Which role plays the teacher in Fine Arts? While we believe that the reality of the University must respond to our current society, and culture is the product of education applied to a society that develops habits and ideas for the benefit of the community, the encapsulated higher education is addressed towards an emerging multidisciplinarity, from tradition to adaptation. We will reflect about the adaptation to the environment of the "European space" as horizontal structure and also will debate about its importance from the verticality of their applications. We will analyze current methodologies and also the applicability of innovating on dynamic and evolutional new structures that could allow divergent paths by fostering multidisciplinary arts with different social and scientific aspects of today reality. The basic tools to deploy these visions are certainly new technologies applied to collaboration, relationship and comparison to the learning method.
