Course detail
Studio IV - Drawing and Printmaking - winter
FaVU-B4GR-ZAcad. year: 2023/2024
The 4th year students are encouraged to expand their skills and critical formulation towards adequate theoretical reflection in contemporary art and graphics. Students utilize traditional graphic techniques which they develop and regroup into new media, reflecting more intensely current tendencies in art and visual culture. They should be able to pick specific tendencies to form own individual expression. Open-studio concept (accessible to the public) becomes the basis of methodology for helping students inspect current events. Students exhibit own art, discuss and present their current projects. They regularly communicate with the invited professionals.
