Course content
The content of the subject is aimed at understanding contemporary "posttrend" art in the context of selected issues of visual culture, selected epochs or specific artifacts of visual arts. Before the student there is a separate solution of the given task during the semester, in order to find the original solution and present the result of its own creation. Students apply previously acquired experience in all fields of study and process an individual project. In the creative process, they can access technological experiments. Students are theoretically viewing and reflecting work processes, theme variations, and artistic shifts in a history context. 1. - 3. - "I" - individually solved a painting task in a specific space. (Procedure from consulting sketches, developing variants of solutions and realizing the selected theme by any painting technique.) 4. - 6. "My Space - My View - My Concept" - A set of experimental drawing approaches on any medium size medium mats 7. - 9. - "The symbol of endless admiration" - an object created by junk art (eg PET sculpture) 10. - 13. "I will Pilsen" - individual streetart installation (selection of object, place and art technique is arbitrary).
