Learning outcomes
Graphic Techniques IV / Spatial creation Compulsory teaching of Spatial creation as a discipline intrinsically connected with artistic practice respects the classical pattern of teaching art disciplines at universities. The concept of this course is not just to pursue respect for the craft and tradition, but also to reflect the currently perceived danger of extinction of the connection brain - hand in a grasp gesture - a traditional tool modeling the volume and structure of the surface of a material artwork. This concept represents a mainstay enabling students to encounter the physical experience of creation in real time, in a natural scale and in proportion to the space in which they are found. Therefore, students are required to carry out both conceptual and real physical activity, and to perceive a sculpting gesture leading to stimulation of creative inspiration, mastering the proportions, structure, model construction, to expression of the nature of material, learn various modeling techniques, observation techniques, object perception and classification of information.
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.
