Course content
1. Introduction - getting acquainted with the workshop (safety at work). Presentation of basic types of metal suitable for designer and artistic practice. 2. Examples of use of metal in design, architecture, and visual art. 3.-6. Basic formats of the material, availability, basic methods of manual shaping, basic methods of machining, metal welding, cold/hot processing. Practical exercise - design of a small metal object composed of several parts, preparation of individual segments. 7.-9. Detachable joints, non-detachable joints. Practical exercise - joining individual segments into one unit. 9.-11. General surface treatment, special surface treatment. Practical exercise - finalization of the object by surface treatment.

Learning outcomes
Basic possibilities of creative processing of metal for students of the Design programme with specialization in Design The aim of the course is to acquaint students with metal as a material and especially with technologies to process it, as well as with possibilities of its use by means of practical exercises accompanied by a theoretical explanation. After completing the course, the student should be able to independently master basic technological procedures in work with metal to utilize the acquired knowledge and experience in their creative designer practice. Teaching has a form of practical exercises in workshops, during which students will experience basic technological procedures from cutting material, through joining it, to surface treatment. Practical teaching is supplemented by an expansion theoretical interpretation.
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.
