Learning outcomes

The course makes students familiarized with the issues and basic tools of spatial creation. By means of short exercises with material and study according to models, they get to know properties of matter, space, meaning of proportions, tectonics, heaviness and lightness, colour scheme and structure as tools of artistic visual expression. It supplements the activities of individual studios and gives students the possibility to move in various categories, like sculpture, installation or design, emphasizing the relation of the space and the material. During the course, the students deals with a study of a head according to a live model (learning about relationship of proportions and directions, character of different models' compositionality), realization or creation of a spatial formation model of the student's choice - a utility object, sculpture, jewel, installation, etc., including a cover report analyzing the assignment, drawings (photos) to document individual stages of the object development, reasoning of the graphic tools used in relation with the intention, and photodocumentation of the work when completed.
After completing the course, the student has a notion of the world context of spatial creation, and is able to distinguish terms like statue, sculpture, object or installation, and at the same time, they are able to use these approaches in a creative manner. The student is able to design a graphic spatial realization and perform it in a model, while having in mind the technological possibilities of the selected materials and the spatial relations of the potential work. Therefore, the student is capable of understandable presentment of the proposed reality by means of a model, while mastering the proportional reduction and abbreviation in representation of materials and details. The student can defend and explain the proposed work and present the model publicly in an understandable way.
