The course History of Material Culture I focuses on the genesis of material culture, especially of handicraft and applied art. The course is based on an art-historical domain embedded in a cultural-historical framework. Its aim is to provide an overview of the material culture development in the context of European cultural history with emphasis on Central European space and development of art-historical styles, to illuminate the relationship between the categories of art and craft, taking into account period art theories, the function of visual art, and symbologies. Special emphasis is put on an interdisciplinary approach to the given matters. Students obtain a basic grasp of art history, as well as history. The study in both thematic areas is designed so that their specialization blends together as much as possible. Emphasis is then placed on getting good knowledge of basic concepts and professional terminology, and on developmental directions of art handicraft, applied and visual arts, and art techniques, and their application in student's own creative practice.
The gained capabilities constitute an encompassment and an aquirement of knowledge and experience in the given field of study, they result from a concrete annotation of the subject and are aimed at a profile´s fulfilment of the graduate of the given field of study.
