Teaching goals (program content, subject description)

Curriculum content (class content):
The student's education is carried out through seminar-like classes and studio exercises carried out individually and in groups. The program content concerns both theoretical and practical issues, where the program focuses on the recognition and ability to use artistic language coherent with the message. Students are introduced to various artistic media in the context of their own expressive predilections.
Students are divided into groups, in which they solve tasks set by the instructor. The prepared projects are discussed.
The aim of the course is to:
- Stimulate reflection on the context of contemporary art and culture,
- Implementation to conscious participation in the area of contemporary art and culture,
- Stimulating self-reflection aimed at taking up artistic activities,
- Preparation to conscious choice of artistic medium,
- Stimulate consideration of art as a form of communication and information.

Program topics:
1. Visual arts media as carriers of information.
2. Observation of one's own individuality, identity
3. Reflection concerning the predilection in the choice of the medium of artistic expression
4. Presentation of message concerning own person, expressed in any artistic form.

Self-analysis (semesters III - IV of the full-time I level studies)
1. Mutual presentation of individual messages in a group.
2. Telling about a partner from the group on the basis of presented individual messages.

Aim of the course:
The curriculum aims to gradually and thoroughly prepare students to independently define an artistic concept expressed through an artistic medium consistent with it. Practical activities should be based on knowledge of different techniques and technologies used in artistic expression (materials and devices). Knowledge of issues related to the specificity of the artistic language used and its system of meanings and symbols should allow students to skillfully convey their own content through created actions.
A bachelor's thesis should be the culmination of the work supported by the knowledge of culture together with the elements of scientific and technical knowledge gained in class.
