Mode of study

Passing two of the Life Drawing courses.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Examination conditioned by the award of credit. For the award of credit, the condition of active participation in the class is set (3 permitted unexcused absences). The student will submit an adequate number of drawings created in the evening drawing classes for evaluation.


Classes take place in the drawing room of the Cabinet of Traditional Media of the FaVU BUT in the hours determined by the timetable. Participation in the classes is required at least 80%.

Aims

The aim of the teaching is individual handwriting, "master drawing", figurative drawing often without a direct connection to the model (where the model acts as a reference or a base on which to rely). The aim is thus not an exact image, but an interpretation of the model.


The student is proficient in a set of criteria by which she views studies and can competently evaluate them. She also knows the systems of overlap and approaches to free interpretation and applies these systems when appropriate.

Study aids

Not applicable.
