Learning outcomes
The Studio works with the video as an artistic means, in processing of which, mainly digital technologies are used. The study in the Studio includes work with the basic image composition and sound, as well as video projections in spatial context, or in audiovisual performances. The artistic character of the studies enables the pedagogues to approach their students individually. Students use specialized stations equipped with hardware and software tools for video processing, computer animation, and sound creation. During the studies, they gradually get oriented in editing environments from the simplest steps up to complicated applications. A graduate from the Studios an artist technically prepared to create audiovisual works by digital methods of video processing in a wide range of means on a professional level. He/she is able to reflect events on the current art scene, and actively participate in it; at the same time, they are able to react to assignments of various kinds of productions.
The student can work independently and is able to theoretically and practically analyze, develop, and comprehensively interconnect their knowledge and results of their creative artistic activities in relation to non-artistic disciplines. In the thesis, the student is able to come with an innovative solution putting the diploma thesis in the context of contemporary ideological and technical artistic procedures. They can focus systematically on the chosen theme and concentrate on building a firm structure of both the text and the artwork composition. The student is capable of an appropriate selection and evaluation of substantial impulses and the context of art history that are crucial for implementation of their intent. They independently solve the complex problem of handling video or audio, and/or software-generated contents. In their work, they are able to decide for a suitable technological procedure and to use optimal means for implementation of the work and for installing it and operating it without problems in the gallery operation or in public space. In terms of arguments and contents, the student is able to present clear and well-thought out opinions and reasons to defend their thesis.
