prerequisite
Knowledge
to recognize the basic drawing and painting elements and their funcionality in the creative process (point, area, color, modelation, lights and shadows) to show basic theoretical knowledge of stylization of figures and motives and its effecs, to recognize basic functions of imaging human body in arts and dependance of chosen techniques on those functions with reference to several renowed authors to show basic knowledge about usage of digital technologies for drawing and painting,
Skills
to work with basic drawing and painting mediums and techniques by hand and digital tools on basic level, to work independently and flexibly react to evaluating commentary of the teacher, to apply the knowledge to image spacial objects and relations between them and verify their elaboration into own work (measurement and comparison of proportions, composition), to see the basic differences and specifications based on individual character of imaged person or scene,

learning outcomes
Knowledge
of deeper understanding of basic elements of drawing and painting composition and its possibilities for medial illustration, in choosing different drawing and painting techniques depending on the aim of creative work, (atmosphere, character), of basic anatomy and physiology of human body needed for its imaging, of effects of color and proportion qualities of image and evaluation of those from level of absolute realism to hyperbole and symbolic meanings,
Skills
of work with different tools of drawing and painting usable for medial illustration, modeling of the matter by lights and shadows, to work with color in both realistic and hyperbolic and symbolic means, to capture and work with non-verbal signs of human body in drawing and painting (expression and emotions, gestures, mimics) to image specific individual character and features of a specific model (body and face structure, individual particularities) in scales of realism and hyperbole,
