The seminar introduces students into the issues of modern graphics, and the art of the book, printing, and paper. Students will learn about technological principles of individual techniques of original printing graphics, about the structure and principles of creating and arranging a book, about kinds, classification, and way of manufacturing paper, the principle of creating a digitalized image, and working with it. The course makes students realize direct connections of the learnt principles and the printing industry. The seminar also provides an outline of historical development of individual branches. Based on their individual choice, students will try a specific graphic technique in an individual authorial assignment. The course concentrates on deepening technical skills, and especially on profiling the student's individuality, and their artistic opinion.
