Objectives and competences

The objective of this course is - to acquaint the student with the basic terms of art experiment - to acquaint the student with the upgrading of basic painting skills - to teach the student to transpose the observed into a painting record and “transfer” the object into a painting and a symbol - to develop the student’s increasingly creative approach to the observed and transform it to a personal painting comprehension and interpretation - to acquaint the student with the basic elements of experimental visual interpretation - to qualify the student to qualify the student in understanding symbolic dimensions of various experimental procedures - to upgrade mimetic elements in the field of “non-object” expression - to qualify the student to develop and interpret the relation towards different “non-painting” materials and experimental painting procedures The student should be able of: developing methods of researching problems and productive thinking in solving them developing knowledge and understanding of the meaning of transformation of acquired fine art contents in art education practice.

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

The student: - recognises the organisation of space and attain spatial relations on a two-dimensional surface - surpasses the two-dimensional painting ground - transforms one`s own ideas into an artistic subject-matter - masters the technological procedures of realising a painting work - masters the realisations of different forms of expression and communication - has insights into the conceptual structure of visual reality - can visualise mental images - realises the individual sensibility - defines approaches to develop one`s own art language - implements interdisciplinary pooling of knowledge - implements project visualisation and productive thinking - works creatively in different fields of visualisation. After successfully completing the module, students should be able to possess: - the proficiency in using different art technique - the proficiency in pooling different techniques and procedures in order to achieve visual materialisation - manual skills, needed for the use of different painting tools - the proficiency in using different working forms and methods the ability to apply the skills in similar processes and other technical fields.

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
