Summary: Try this research finding and show that book as a work of art beyond the limits of what is to become an anecdotal phenomenon that covers many aspects and is an artistic vehicle over plastic expression, and displaying their wealth and opportunities to expressive and communicative Through numerous typological modalities. In Spain there is a wide range of books and production as a creative space from the second half of the twentieth century to the present, being mainly in Barcelona where more proposals emerge, followed by Madrid, and d estacando also some unique peripheral inputs. But it will be the period from 1980 to the present, along with the background of the prolific stage of the sixties to the eighties, the main reason for the study. A period of production and unknown and without studying, making clear that the books as works of art have been made by different creative industries: experimental poets, visual artists and graphic designers, those who truly have made the best contribution. Giving also know the role and committed some art galleries and publishers have had with graphics art, collecting his work and determining the tremendous effort that we can now talk to the book as an object of art in our country. Two significant aspects highlighted in this study: the historical and conceptual analysis and portfolio of artists and publishers. With a work plan built on the idea of a gradual rapprochement of the item. And in the index is established through two major blocs. One formed by the first two chapters, which defines the study area, and a next block, consisting of two chapters, in which he examines the specific object of the investigation. As a final synthesis, this work is expected to contribute to discard categorizations discriminatory leading to classify the book as a medium of artistic expression as plastic creation of lower rank and complementary. And thus increasing its importance in the visual arts as a means of creating while retaining their autonomy and identity within the Spanish contemporary art.

Summary: This thesis is based on the description and analysis of the methods of transferring photographic images of contemporary graphics. Outlines a review técnico-evolutiva traditional methods of image transfer and a description of the currently used. From that description is proposed method serigráfico as a viable possibility with novel features and developmental allowing the transfer of good-quality images to different arrays of engraving and the exaltation of graphical results characteristic of each of these areas. The thesis consists of five chapters organized in the following manner: The first chapter is a brief history of engraving to demarcate the actual situation of the graphics emphasizing the period from 1960 to the present, though stressing the events prior to this date they were momentous pair of recorded history and that led to his current situation. The second chapter presents a general systems traditional printing (silk screening, etching and lithography) and the use of the photographic image in the process of engraving. It leaves a record of the evolving technical graphics focusing on the processes that motivate this thesis. It outlines the printing systems and their relationship to photography, in addition to the impact of the latter in the printing methods. The third chapter explains the technical process of the areas of graphics including a comparative table of these methods. The explanations of different techniques are schematic as far as the fundamentals traditional concerns, and that what we want to highlight are the foundations of each of the process, their particular characteristics and the convergence or divergence between them that will greatly useful in giving a perspective interdisicplinaria different processes. It emphasizes the traditional photographic transfer of each of the main techniques. The fourth chapter describes alternative methods of transferring photographic images, recording the process step by step and analyze the results and effectiveness of these. It proposes new procedures for transferring photographic images supported by an interdisciplinary areas of the chart. In the fifth and final chapter presents the PDS's body of original work encompassing volume II of this thesis. These chips will also provide technical index of the original work that accompanies this thesis as registration of the practice of what has been proposed previously.

Summary: Narcissus and Pigmalión is refers to the idea that illusion in art. The nature of art is essentially illusory and this part is contrasted with the empirical realities. Thus the ideas that are in reality are finding necessary for the triggering of the artistic, and with shaping world through art. The approach of the realida then opens its first connatural dichotomy: real / fictional, which has cabdia invention art in turn attracts art on it the same reality. We then at this stage, art and reality as a whole which merges two stays that blend to nourish each other, and when it comes to art, it ends up naturally defined as fictitious. Thus Narciso and Pigmalión are two metaÂ'foras that some of the fictitious nature of art, and its development and defining narrative, the fundamental issues that touch them: perception, reception and represntación.

Summary: The aim is to deepen the working method of Enric Miralles, an architect involved and committed to experimentation and the development of new forms of design. By using a series of new "technical work", will seek to overcome a common vision thus far allowing for the development of a reading of reality and the process of the project more complex than the one inherited from tradition. The thesis explores and confronts one hand, the educational activity of the architect as a center of the study taking the course "Rue Simon-Crubellier" conducted at the College of Architecture at the Valles in the academic year 1997-98, and secondly, production processes of the architecture. Addressing cleanly in the classroom what for him is it central to the practice of a design that meets the current time and reality, without shirking the difficulties posed by the operator in an area so elusive, is perhaps the main contribution Enric Miralles pedagogy to a current architecture. The recurrent theme in the academic and professional architect is going to be through a design-cycle dynamic based on the sequence indefinite experience / reflection / experience - a series of strategies proyectuales concentrated in knowledge management and mastery of their own mechanisms Mental health, psychological and emotional just determining the correctness of the creative processes in design. To do so, has not hesitated to overshadow everything that blockade discipline process and concrete realization of the project, which refers only to conditions perfectly objetivables; architectural proposal should finally meet all these requirements, but in no way should have, in themselves, no significant role in shaping and characterization of an appropriate architectural response. Trying to understand, through the deepening of a series of concrete manifestations, such common relational dynamics applied by Miralles their way to produce and teach architecture, has been the object and a frame of reference for this work, in the assurance that constitute a contribution to the necessary clarification and methodological renewal that undoubtedly requires the incorporation of such profound change that has experienced the scenario and the current conditions of the production and architectural education.

Summary: The need for changes in education, in terms of attention to the initial teacher training, covering various fields, including delas emotions. Taking as its premise reflection Hargreaves (1998:319). "Teaching and learning also includes and depends on a large degree of emotional understanding," I wonder: Do you understand how the teacher can no students understand himself?. From this issue I plan to investigate the next problem Study: Do you understand how to explore the emotional unfolding in the construction of identity teacher during the process of initial training? The objective of this research is to identify emotional indicators that can arise between students of a training program and start thinking about a possible space to contribute to the understanding emotional. All this as a basis for the construction of identity teacher. Emotions are a phenomenon inherent in a human being and the communication link between their inner world and the world outside. Understanding emotional has a key role in the dynamics of interaction and art is one of the mediators in this process of understanding. So, I support the proposition that to understand the other is paramount understand himself. To the extent that individuals are understood, and from this, recognize and cultivate their own needs change, opening a greater chance of reaching changes in education. To this end, creating spaces in teacher training conducive to the understanding and emotional enable the transformation of yourself and your environment. The art as a vehicle for communication and representation, it may be a valid option to mediate these processes.

Summary: INTRODUCTION This research has been conducted a study of support xilográfico the basis and starting point two possible means of intervention in the same for the creation of images: the manual and infográfico. The main basis of the argument has focused on the study of the following factors: tonal value, and color graphics, both to work in one or another way to do as well in combination to check and understand more clearly the actual contributions to this thesis has led us. METHODOLOGY FIRST CHAPTER provides analysis of the woodcut manual. It is divided into two sections into which it has divided the chapter. The first outlines various analysis for the support and understanding of their possible courses of action on it. The second section shows the alternatives and variations obtained fruit of all studies conducted with a large number of pictures that show the creative possibilities that can be carried out in this area. Conclusions of wood engraving to fiber. * Loa tonal values on one side of the printing whose whose information outweighs pictoricidad to printing in relief for his wide range of tonal values, and it being enlarged by the use of various sealing, lijas and the combination of different kinds of woods . And another tonal values obtained by the reprinting of a plate entintada in relief. * The use of wood using the veto in diferntes directions. * The graphics own timber combined with the tools. SECOND CHAPTER In this chapter we conducted a survey of all those means and factors will influence the design and creation of the image from the digitization of the parent until the final print. We distinguished two paragraphs. The first looks to carry out the conversion of an image analogue to digital information through the scanner or camera digital photography. It is a digital image and finally list the digital output devices, as well as the factors influencing digital printing such as paper and printing inks. In the second paragraph, have been investigated all actions that may be carried out with the photo editor program. Adobe Photoshop 7.0 without undermining the very nature of the wood. Specific conclusions. Woodcut digital. * A digital woodcut can modify an infinite number of times with great ease and speed while retaining the original information. * Ink-jet ink is most types of paper admits, the most used by the majority of digital artists. * The digital format is based on the storage of the image through digit will remain immutable over time, so that the capacity of the image will not decrease ever. A digital woodcut we will be able to reproduce it infinite times occur always duplicates of great similarity between them. THIRD CHAPTERS was founded and has its rationale in the conjunction of two different media propagating the image to create graphic: computer graphics and wood engraving. So the merger between the two media has made possible the confluence in one bracket end with the specific characteristics of each. Contributions towards stemming the symbiosis between the two media, infográfia and wood engraving, have been split into two groups those of a technical nature and type of plastic, without being decoupled from both creation. Contributions of a technical nature. In the present study we realized two to contribute in a general sense they derive more specific. They are comparing the processes and outcomes for the realization of a well with media support manuals, or both digital and the process of printing. Contributions plastic. Overall contributions of specific techniques of combining with each other investigations have resulted in a very broad range of possibilities to develop. The contribution plastic that summarize the overall set of all remaining would be: RENDERING A NEW TOOL IN THE CREATION IN WOOD ENGRAVING. Consistent with in 8 novation 33rd is the time, the speed with which we live and the space available, shows the digital media that comes to extol the potential of the medium xilográfico.

Summary: Under the heading "Study and documentation of the artwork of Salvador Soria, (1957-2005)" our research covers, from the documentation of their artwork, several blocks from the study treated qualitative approach with a method explanatory design no experimental. From a technical analysis of their engravings, working methods and procedures, we carried out a first field correlation between its historical context and his work played out the hypothesis that S. Soria is one of the largest previous recorded matérico, given the speed of their prospecting dated l957 techniques ADDITIVE as collagraph and metal-print and its particular system of stamping in relief. And above all, for the originality of its way to proceed adhere to the matrix materials détricos like metal filings, very similar to the Carborundum technique, invented officially 10 years later by Henri Gotees. Once the significance of the artwork on Soria at the moment, our next objective was to cover, in a second section, the analysis of its prints from the fields of syntax and semantics by comparing their works mainly pictorial and sculptural . The summary of these preliminary investigations, served as a conduit for the development of our successive scenarios, enabling us to determine the existence of a common language structure in all his work, and thus realize objectivity lingüstica of poà ¯ esis S. Soria through the listing and categorizing those elements plastics and iconic prevailing throughout its artistic endeavor. Once established the location of these elements, our next step was to study its evolution lingüstica to establish possible reciprocal influences between different disciplines used by Soria, taking the field as the nerve center of the chart.

Summary: Since the dawn of humanity, animal hides and skins have been used by virtually all civilizations, both utensils of all kinds, including in the field of objects that might be called artistic. The presence of this material in art has been, however, secondary and tangential, but it is precisely here that this thesis will focus, trying to bring new perspectives to the leather as artistic media in the world of engraving and printing. To achieve this goal, research has been divided into four major blocks seemingly independent, but at the same time complement to move towards a progressive understanding of the possibilities that the plastic bracket at hand can offer the estampador. The first one deals with the general characteristics of the medium, its histology, composition and tanning, as well as potential problems and difficulties that may arise during handling. In the second section discusses various artistic events that have taken leathery as support for its realization, dividing between Art on skin, where the leather serves as the recipient of the work, and Art in skin, where the material at hand no longer a mere receptacle to go to become part of the plastic work. Finished these two paragraphs highly theoretical research ventures in the field of experimental practice, which is in turn divided into two sections. In the first, it runs a cataloging of different types of leather as their response to the printing with different procedures and techniques of engraving and printing (woodcut, intaglio, drypoint, transfer and estezado), analyzing the results obtained in an objective manner to elucidate what skins are the best to advance our research. Lastly, the final paragraph of this thesis is dedicated entirely to the proposal for a body of work in which the original plastic will be reflected findings obtained in the course of the research process, using the hides, not only as a support of the Parts but as creative element of the same. In addition to theoretical development of the thesis, has been included in an annex volume, all of these different printing techniques stamping, as well as tables statistics compiled after analysis of the results obtained during the documentation process .

Summary: The trial takes place in animation festivals, shows, exhibitions and is closely linked to production charts, pictorial, musical, photographic, ultimately is used as a means of artistic expression. We must therefore consider animation as a new medium for the dissemination of works, in keeping with new ways of seeing and understanding the world and the needs of society. Analyzed this new media discovered that the techniques used are as varied and diverse as the artists who use them, including finding techniques, such as painting or engraving, both possessing a wide range of procedures and results. Focusing our attention on the recording, we discover that for a pilot group of animators, this is the basis of their productions, some influenced by its pioneers Len Lye and Norman McLaren, used the technique in its purest essence, others take as a starting point his aesthetic characteristics and to develop their productions with the help of other techniques. The recording offers the opportunity to work with different techniques according to their parent and their stamp, considering the technical processes, systems Stamping and manipulation and intervention of the prints as a wide range of new possibilities. Our thesis raises reality engraving animated pilot, offering artists increasingly interdisciplinary, new possibilities of creation.

Summary: The main objective of this research work is to achieve a description which will be valid for the artist Western engraving of Chinese stamps, which has its own Middle Field, and the history of Western engraving includes engraving stamp without differentiate it as self discipline . This work raises study these stamps from the standpoint of the graphic artist. It also has other equally important goals: to know and show the evolution of engraved stamps in China, understand the social significance that this type of engraving maintained in that country, appropriately recognize the materials that are used and understand how they evolve techniques engraved stamp, in addition to reviewing the aesthetic values that apply in this field of art. To complete the study we propose practical action embodied in a course where establish a form of teaching and learning the techniques of engraving stamp for students trained in Western culture, which allows training in the use of these techniques and methods and procedures and it is well understood and practiced by Western artists. The study shows the usefulness of the engraved stamps can be for artists who are interested in learning about new ground in relation to the aesthetics of his work. We believe that the way to understand Eastern engraving of the seal can develop new procedures and promote new concepts of the world's recorded in the West. We see that the seal engraving is close to the sculpture as well as painting, drawing, literature and poetry. We note that the history of the Chinese seal engraving can be analyzed from two angles of vision, and one, from the art of engraving stamp and the other, starting with its aesthetics. We finished verifying the effectiveness of the application of the knowledge gained to a personal project in which the face engraved stamps as a possibility of establishing such a bridge between East and West. Finally, the wording of the text and its possible future expansion by other researchers, will be indicative of the wealth that involves the exchange of cultures in the world. So the arts can and will move forward with the joint efforts of all.

Summary: The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze and evaluate the suitability of prospective valid as a tool for making business decisions in the complex today, and more specifically, to develop products and services, and as a result, define and develop a new management model for SME from the standpoint foresight. To this end the inquiry has been structured into three distinct blocks. The first, consisting of Chapters 2, 3 and 4, are analyzed and define the traits that make up today's society and business organizations in which she is entered. The analysis begins by historical comparison between conceptual processes of technological development that led to the Industrial Society with others of its kind that shape the current Information Society and Knowledge. The new paradigm is characterized primarily by the rapid generation and implementation of new technologies and globalization, these two phenomena have changed substantially structures and dynamic business, they need to rethink their strategies, take innovation and new technology as an imperative for the competitiveness and seek new ways of managing that enable them to manage and capitalize on knowledge for informed decision making and effective. Through an analysis of the tools of technology management and innovation, foresight is proposed as a useful tool for the purpose described. In a second section, consisting of Chapters 5 and 6, is a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics and methods of application as defined foresight, researching and comparing the approaches of various authors and experts. Foresight is anticipation and reflection that accompanies the action, is a process of obtaining information for effective and efficient decision-making that are associated with the definition of a strategy, and hence, the development of products and services. Likewise, economic forecasting is able to consider the quantitative and qualitative data in a comprehensive manner and provide options for the future, allowing decide in the present paths to follow in order to achieve the desired future, something absolutely necessary in an environment as complex and as the current uncertain. The last part of the thesis, chapters 7 and 8, corresponds to the definition of a new model prospective adjusted to the goals and purposes described as validation of the same in an SME sector tradiconal textiles. Through this process verifies the adequacy and the benefits of prospective application of the model proposed for the development of products and services, noting the profound changes that are needed in these sectors to take collective thought processes and a new way of thinking in the longer term.
