The atelier programme develops the students' ability to use their art creativity as an important inspiring phenomenon that integrates a range of areas that constitute the process of designing the products of both single-piece and mass production, with special focus on products forming the immediate environment. To help students orientate themselves in the area, a number of courses of technical and non-technical character are offered: technical drawing, perspective rendition, mechanical engineering technology, computer-aided design, theory of colour, ergonomics, history of design, history of art, aesthetics, psychology, philosophy, ecology, sociology and other, optional, courses. Further compulsory courses are modelling and drawing where students improve their skills in basic fine art techniques.
