Teaching goals (program content, subject description)

Didactic objectives (programme contents, course description) The aim of this course is to form student's own, individual language of artistic expression, the form of which will fully correspond to the topics taken up by him/her in the further process of education and in artistic practice. The aim of the classes is to stimulate and develop in the student a conscious perception of works of art and accompanying visual phenomena.


The program task for first-year sculpture students is to define the concepts of the language of artistic composition (description, analysis, interpretation), with particular emphasis on the specificity of the language of sculpture, i.e. solids and planes, as well as the study of relations between spatial entities.
At the same time, discussions of student projects will help to build awareness and consistency in the use of the language of forms and perception.


The program is partly open-ended, i.e. the realization of tasks is determined by the initial choice of given concepts or relations; this choice belongs to the student. This independence is an important incentive
to search for one's own language of artistic expression and to take responsibility for it. The discussion of assignments is public and assumes the active participation of all students.


The program task for second year sculpture students is to apply the concepts of the language of artistic composition, with particular emphasis on the specific language of sculpture i.e. solids and planes,
as well as applying relations between spatial entities. The working method is personal implementation of exercises by students and presentation of the results in the studio in order to discuss them, enriched by lectures on topics given to the students. The program is mostly open, i.e. the realization of the tasks is determined by the initial choice of given concepts or relations, the choice is up to the students.


The tasks are realized in the form of various sculpting techniques, creating spatial compositions, non-virtual, including cutting and pasting elements in order to use the motor factors of the human body
and highlight the role of decision-making in the design process.

Description of the requirements for the studio, workshop or teaching aids

In the Studio of Fundamentals of Spatial Design we realize individual mode of work with students. The program is mostly open, i.e. the realization of tasks is determined by the initial choice of given concepts or relations, and this choice belongs to the students.


The studio is equipped with tables for project work, a whiteboard, projector and basic work tools such as scissors, knives, glue, pliers, etc.

The weekly number of hours of classes or lectures, the number of ECTS points assigned to the subject and information on the form and completion of the subject are included in the study program and Course Cataloque (information is displayed in Akademus system)
