Learning outcomes
Teaching of drawing is based on drawing according to models, as well as on free, non-figurative drawing or illustration. The students are required to master sensitivity to the medium, proportions, construction, and the model build, expression of the material character (hard-soft, light-heavy, smooth-rough, etc.), mastering various techniques of drawing, their graphic appeal, techniques of observation, perception of the object, and sorting information. The students study nature products, objects from various materials, their compositionality, proportion, and location in the space. Further, they study the head, half figure, and figure; they search for the gravity centre, examine utilization of the light and shade, analyze the relation between the whole and a detail, and composition in a format. In the field of free drawing, the drawing course focuses on the transformation that has taken place in drawing over the past half-century, with an emphasis on the medium shifts after 2000 and possible overlaps towards information technologies. During the course, the students use various techniques and materials (charcoal, pencil, sepia, ink, Indian ink, crayon, oil crayon), and their combinations, as well as new, digital technologies. Students are thus continuously assigned individual tasks, focused on their artistic creativity and individual approach. Various types of collaborative group projects are not excluded either. Teaching cannot be divided into weekly schedules - the pedagogical approach is strongly individualized, reflecting preferences and skills of the given group.
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.
