Learning outcomes
|
The tutorial will lead students through the history of environment-friendly materials and technologies, and will acquaint them with how to obtain and process them in the context of contemporary visual art and design. The subject focuses on learning about crafts and technologies and their reactualization with regard to long-term sustainability. It includes traditional historical procedures and their applications influenced by current needs and technological advancement, but also innovations based on current trends. These principles are associated with acquisition of necessary natural materials, and their processing. Emphasis is placed on an authentic locality in order to increase sensitivity to the given material and the environment it is acquired from. However, it also implies the specific timing of individual processes within the annual cycle. An essential point is to explore the landscape and its specifics, i.e. especially the element of the local context. The teaching is concentrated into thematic blocks of time-contingent options of acquiring materials ? so-called collection, including material processing depending on the weather or season. This is a multi-disciplinary subject ranging from application of unfired clay in architecture, through the use of wicker materials to textile technologies and processing of animal products. It includes both specific locally historical techniques and imported technologies from completely different cultural and historical areas. It touches processing of wood and metals, whether in direct form or in preparation of tools and equipment. However, an exact material or cultural area is not permanently defined and will be updated according to specific conditions. An integral part of the tutorial is the interconnection of technologies with machine and tool equipment, which - through its maintenance or creating the users? own specific tools - leads to a deeper understanding of their function. The subject includes digital processing of background information and documentation; as well, it counts on direct involvement of current digital means in the creative process when implementing the students? artistic or designer projects, which are the final output of the subject - the final works. The combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills will allow students to explore aesthetic, environmental, and economic aspects of material and technological applications. The more interconnected system of theoretical and practical teaching in terms of "material tracing" and "technology tracing? gets, through following on historically estblished, now updated experimental procedures and production practice, to their artistic/designer solitary application in the studio. Two-semester concept of four subjects of Renewable Materials in Art and Design: Tracing of Materials and Technologies for the second year of the Bachelor?s studies is ended with a final work after each semester. The theoretical and practical skills acquired during the semester will thus be utilized in the students? own author realization to be presented to both general and professional public during the official exhibition of winter- or summer-semester final works. The subject is part of the innovated portfolio of subjects of the Design Bachelor?s programme of study, specialization Design. This study programme of study is followed by the Design Master's programme of study.
The acquired competencies represent the mastery and acquisition of knowledge in the given field, based on a specific annotation of the subject and are aimed at fulfilling the profile of a graduate of the given field.
