Course detail
FaVU-1ATE7Acad. year: 2024/2025
The studio is the foundational course in the study programme. Its central content is the students' own artistic practice. The studio provides students with the material conditions for this practice, given the specific space and the specific media or technological focus. It provides them with a welcoming and stimulating environment for reflection and contextualisation of their own creative intentions in continuous communication with the teachers and other students.
The studio is runned by a pair of head tutors. Students work individually on their own work and/or collectively in a studio group. In their work they respect the ethical rules agreed by the group, based on the basic principles of equal rights and opportunities, respect for others, solidarity and ecological sustainability. Students take proper care of the shared space.
In the individual or collective realization of partial or more complex artistic outputs, students acquire conceptual thinking about their work, technical skills and knowledge of relevant material processes or technological procedures, the ability to verbally articulate their own artistic intention, orientation in relevant theoretical approaches and disciplines, an overview of contemporary art topics and broader public debate, and the ability to critically evaluate and contextualize their own creative practice.
The timetable and specific content of the studio practice, teaching methods and criteria and methods of evaluation are defined in the introductory classes of each semester. They thus reflect the composition of the students in the studio as well as the current artistic, social and environmental context.
The assignment or topic of the studio practice is of an individual or collective nature and is determined by personal agreement between the students and the responsible teachers. The creative process is accompanied by regular presentations and consultations. Consultations can take place either collectively in the form of periodic studio meetings or individually. Students are also encouraged to consult their creative practice with other figures working in the field. Technological and theoretical support for work on studio projects is provided by supervisors in collaboration with the cabinets and the KTDU.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Evaluation of student’s work is ongoing throughout the semester in the form of verbal feedback. It is optional to invite external experts in the field or other FaVU teachers or other members of the academic community to give in-depth or additional feedback one or several times per semester. At the end of the semester, the work is evaluated by awarding credit. The following conditions are set for the award of credit:
Classes take place in the studio space at FaVU, or at other locations according to the current program. Attendance at the class is mandatory (75% attendance at regular studio meetings is mandatory). If the class includes mock presentations with external guests, outdoor courses, workshops, lectures, visits to exhibitions, excursions, online meetings, etc., attendance at these activities is also mandatory. Higher absences can be compensated for in an individually determined way in agreement with the teachers.
Aims
The aim of the course is to provide students with material conditions and a friendly and stimulating environment for artistic development. Through the continuous realization of artistic outputs, their consultation and participation in joint activities, students should acquire the ability to think conceptually about their own work, technical skills and theoretical overview that will allow them to compete in the professional field of contemporary art.
Students will acquire knowledge and skills that should enable them to compete in the professional field of contemporary art, such as conceptual thinking about their work, technical skills and knowledge of relevant material processes or technological procedures, the ability to verbally articulate their own artistic intention, an orientation to relevant theoretical approaches and disciplines, an overview of contemporary art issues and wider public debate, and the ability to critically evaluate and contextualise their own creative practice.
