Teaching goals (program content, subject description)

The aim of the course is: - shaping artistic attitudes towards the surrounding, social and public space; - developing awareness and sensitivity necessary for the implementation of various professional and artistic projects related to the widely understood drawing in space; - developing the ability to undertake unusual drawing projects, installations in gallery, architectural and urban spaces; - imparting knowledge concerning the wealth of spatial solutions in contemporary artistic creations (spatial arrangements, video installations, environment). Drawing is understood broadly as a tool for recording and observing reality, and as a creative medium. It is supposed to support individual work of students, help them in creative choices and be a way for them to discover authorial and collective forms of expression, which is connected not only with the classical understanding of drawing, but also with opening to experimentation and crossing the borders of this discipline. It is very important to realize the meaning of drawing - to understand it as a thought process. When working with students, emphasis is placed not only on the final result of the work, but above all on the creative process, as drawing is a very important tool for development, and at the same time it complements the overall output and provides preparation for the profession of a sculptor or interdisciplinary artist. In the Drawing Studio, attention is also paid to drawings created in other studios of the Sculpture Department. The course assumptions include analysis of phenomena, processes, changes in surrounding reality and ability to transform them into plastic forms. The following are important: careful observation, the character of the model*, composition, proportions, light, interrelations of elements, differences in matter, contrast of forms and rhythm, but also time. The aim is to search for a comprehensible and universal yet original language of creative expression; to improve the ability to choose artistic means adequate to the content expressed; to deepen the ability to choose the right technique of communication; to find one's own technique; to develop creativity and creative awareness based on a solid workshop; to develop perception systematically. A separate class for all years is the quick drawing class, which aims to practice different types of sketch writing. Sketch drawing exercises teach making quick creative decisions, emphasize grasping the proportions of the model, composition on the page, and pay attention to the relationship of time and space. (The level/degree of difficulty of the assignment is matched to the stage of instruction the student is at. ) * The model can be any creature encountered.
