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.
Based on drafts and models, the student is able to realize the designed work in basic sculptural techniques. In cooperation, they can carry out a more comprehensive spatial realization. The student can utilize the technologies of the Faculty workshops to implement the project they have designed. The student is able to work adequately with spatial relations and their meanings both on a small (close - interior), and on large (open - exterior) scale. The student is able to defend and explain the realized work and present it in an understandable way.
