Course detail

Workshop Practice 1

FaVU-2ADP1Acad. year: 2024/2025

Within this course, students can use the facilities of workshops and professional assistance of FaVU cabinet staff to expand their technical skills, which they will use in the context of their individual Master's project and taking into account the requirements for the implementation of the Diploma Project. Unlike undergraduate students, MFA students do not receive basic training in a wide range of traditional art techniques or audiovisual media, but formulate specific assignments related to distinct tools, processes, media or materials for which they have a justified use in their artistic practice or research project. The course takes the form of individual artistic work in workshops and consultation of sub-processes with qualified tutors.
