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 is capable of independent theoretical and practical preparation to implement the final work. Based on a defined concept, they can come to an adequate artistic form. The student can visually express both one-off concepts and long-term systematically developed themes. They can design a technical solution of the work and its implementation in terms of functionality of the system and the resulting artistic form. The student is ready to work experimentally with technical instruments to get beyond and modify their basic user settings. In the ideological part of the defence, they define the key terms and puts theoretical relationships in the context of art history. The student is able to defend the result of their work orally and to evaluate it critically. They prove their expert knowledge both in speaking and writing, showing the ability of interpretation, and can contextualize their work in contemporary art.
