Teaching goals (program content, subject description)

Curriculum content (class content):
The student's education takes place in the process of classes of a seminar nature and studio exercises carried out individually. The curriculum content concerns both theoretical and practical issues, where the program focuses on the recognition of own artistic predilections and the ability to adequately use the artistic medium coherent with the message. Students operate in the intermedia space of expression, searching for content in the dialogue of various means of expression.
Prepared artistic proposals are discussed in the group and analyzed in the perception process of other class participants.


The objectives of the course are:
1. Critical participation in the context of contemporary art and culture.
2. Deepened self-reflection which helps to form the artistic message.
3. Mastering the artistic medium coherent with one's own artistic conception
4. Ability to reflect on the contemporary cultural and social situation.


The aim of the curriculum is to prepare students thoroughly to independently define an artistic concept expressed through a coherent media or artistic medium. Practical activities should be based on knowledge of different techniques and technologies used in artistic expression (materials and devices). Issues related to the specificity of the medium used and its system of meanings and symbols should allow students to creatively convey individual content through created actions.
The master's thesis should be the culmination of the work supported by the knowledge of culture together with selected elements of scientific and technical knowledge gained in class.


Topics to be realized in the studio:
- visual arts media as carriers of information,
- using one's own individuality in forming artistic message,
- reflecting on one's predilection when choosing the medium of artistic expression,
- presentation of one's own concept based on self-analysis taking into account the socio-cultural context. Self-analysis (semesters I - II of the degree programme):
- presentation of individual messages based on analysis of selected cultural and social aspects,
- mutual presentation of individual messages in a group.
Analysis of the content transmitted through the language of visual arts with the use of audio elements.
Self-presentation of current artistic activities (IInd semester of the degree programme).
Preparing for the presentation of an individual diploma project (III - IV semester of the degree programme).
Completing 2 tasks per semester set by the instructor. The presentation of the completed task is done in a seminar form. Students complete some of the tasks in a group.

The form of passing the course (assesment methods and criteria)

Evaluation Criteria:
1. Evaluation of the artistic quality of the work presented.
2. Regularity in work and participation in reviews.
3. Independence within the scope of creative work.
4. Assessment of the ability to use own means of expression.
5. Assessment of the effectiveness of the acquired knowledge and skills of the final artistic realization.
6. Practical diploma work presented in the form of an exhibition (its form depends on the topic and nature of realization), for which the student is required to prepare a written study in the form of a description of the work. The dissertation is evaluated in committee by the Supervisor and the diploma committee.
The grade scale is defined according to the scoring scale obligatory at the Faculty of Media Art.
