prerequisite
Knowledge
about project planning of interactive applications of different types (sketches, scenarios, simple storyboards, animation works), to compare and analyze different artistic expressions by criteria of esthetics, semiotics and technique on educated level, to evaluate suitability and of product determined by purpose of product, about visual means of appropriate interactive design and creation and the ways of using them, of forms and formats and their technologies suitable for interactiv creation and their specifics,
Skills
plans to project a simpler interactive application or trick and visual effect in different programs, to work independently and flexibly react to evaluating commentary of the teacher, make drawing sketches of their own compositional designs by hands free in basic graphic editors develop research on the topic, to show own creativity on generally assigned task, to show the will to find different artistic solutions, alter them and constructivelly evaluate, implements a simple animation unit designed for web browsers, an e-book, or a gaming application to be able to accept and assert in a way the evaluation and critical response,

Knowledge
about project planning in vizual style of interactive application in different programs for different purposes (sketches, scenarios, simple storyboards, animation works), about options of interaction and direct entry of a viewer in animations of diferent formats and forms, about present style canons of interactive design, about conventional and unconventional ways and usages of interactive design, about possibilities of finalization and presentation of products of interactive tools of different types,
Skills
to plan an interactive application project or a simple trick and visual effect, to organize and divide own work into particular steps, to evaluate those steps separatelly and as a whole, to reflect its work in the context of professional, technical and technological processes, to alter own work while searching for suitable solution determined on those quialities, to evaluate and compare different ways of interaction of a viewer and a product and to choose suitable form for own work determined by this evaluation, to use common technologies and procedures to create an interactive element in different programs, to use alternative methods for different outcomes,
