Course detail

Studio I - Drawing and Printmaking - summer

FaVU-B1GR-LAcad. year: 2023/2024

The class continues to teach basics of drawing and graphics emphasising the acquisition of individual authorship and creative methods of artistic research leading to students' own discoveries. Students work either independently or in a team. This style of cooperation leads to the atmosphere of solidarity in the studio. It should also lead to forming a set of 'studio rules' students adhere to. Regular discussions at the "Round Table" focus on more than just (school)work. Personal encounters and opinion exchanges are a prerequisite for successful work in the studio.
