Course detail
Studio Follow-up I - Painting 3 - winter
FaVU-M1M3-ZAcad. year: 2022/2023
Painting Studio 3 builds on the historically proven experience of teaching painting in an academic environment, while reflecting contemporary thinking and being open to the multitude and interconnection of art forms and media. The key to develop the potential of the students is an individual approach to each one and working with the specifics of their creative thinking. In an open and critical dialogue, students are encouraged to reflect on their artistic expression and to develop it through their own research, deepening their theoretical knowledge, and experimenting with the forms of painting and other media.
The teachers assume independent creation of the students, based on their own inspiration, which they motivate both by recommendations and observations, as well as by assigning specific topics for processing. Students are encouraged to self-discovery and to understand the connections between their work and current events in their immediate surroundings, in the art world and in society. The diverse experiences, points of view and opinions that freely and respectfully meet in the studio become the basis on which future independent artistic practice can be built.
Students are motivated to expand the field of their creative research and to evaluate the quality of its results, including their potential to become a basis for a thesis art project. Gradually, they will specify its topic, find the most appropriate creative form and proceed it.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The studio leaders encourage independent creation of students, teaching is carried out through group and individual consultations, while the leaders also provide consultations with guests from relevant experts. Students present and evaluate their work and reflect on the work of their peers as well as the work of local and international artists in a collaborative, moderated discussion. Through the recommendation of appropriate literature or audiovisual works to study, and through the support of individual and group projects and exhibitions, learners are motivated to self-study and to actively participate in artistic and cultural activities.
The leaders improve teaching methods in collaboration with the learners and see them as a living, evolving process, open to new forms and their critical exploration.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Learning is assessed at the end of the semester by credit and a ‚klauzura’ exam.
Course curriculum
The regular presentation of one's work, together with related topics, in group consultations helps learners to formulate their own artistic stance, while encouraging openness, understanding and respect for other views and attitudes, which form the basis of a mutually enriching discussion.
Classes include visits of exhibitions, artist talks and group critiques with guest artists, theorists and other professionals with relevant and inspiring practice, and joint training in the form of a workshop or plein-air session.
