Learning outcomes
A course of drawing is based above all on drawing according to models. The students are required to master proportions, construction, and the model build, expression of the material character (hard-soft, light-heavy, smooth-rough, etc.), mastering various techniques of drawing, their graphic appeal, techniques of observation, perception of the object, and sorting information. The students investigate nature products, objects from various materials, their compositionality, proportion, and location in the space. Further, they study the head, half figure, and act; they search for the gravity axis, utilization of the light and shade, analysis of the relation between the whole and a detail, and composition in a format. During the course, the students use various techniques and materials (charcoal, pencil, sepia, ink, Indian ink, crayon, oil crayon), and their combinations. In addition to the exercises according to a model, the students are concurrently assigned individual tasks, which are more focused on their graphic creativity and individual approach.
The student has a notion of the current artistic tendencies relating to their concept of work. By means of drawing or a combination of graphic techniques where principles of drawing prevail, the student is able to create a peculiar work meeting the conditions of the assigned theme. They are able to explain the process of implementation of their work, to substantiate both the form and the idea of their work, and can give reasons for all aspects of their presentation, including its adjustment, installation, and promotion. The student can defend their work in writing in the form of a brief technical and theoretical text, can present their work and defend it also verbally, and can react adequately to professional questions and comments.
