Course content
Brief annotation of the subject The course develops the knowledge and skills the student has acquired in previous studies on larger, more complex tasks. It is focuses primarily on contemporary art and the material of glass. The studio is devoted to focused artistic expression on multidisciplinary level. It does not emphasize Czech glass craftsmanship, but instead tries to establish a unique post-conceptual point of view, which is the central point of the creative process. The emphasis is on the conceptual grasp of the given theme. 1. Introductory lesson, studio assignment, course requirements 2. Brainstorming, moodboard, storyboard 3. Consultation on the developed topic 4. Consultation on the topic in progress 5. Consultation on the topic in progress 6. Implementation of working models 7. Consultation on the topic in progress 8. Consultation on a work in progress 9. Realization of models of collection, product line from final material 10. Consultation on the topic in progress 11. Consultation on the topic in progress 12. Consultation on the topic in progress 13. Evaluation of the assignment The student is able to work independently or in a team on more challenging design projects. The student will acquire the necessary skills to create a clear and aesthetically pleasing presentation of their design.
