Course Content

The course is structured in three parts:
In the first part, students practice various qualities of water-based painting and drawing materials. Experimenting with various materials on different compositions is expected on small and big scales. An experimental drawing language is explored. In addition, literary resources selected by students are added to the presentations of experimental works.
Second part of the course concentrates on the research of artistic movements, art theories and various artist’s works. Lectures and student seminars aim to present diverse artistic manifestations. Visits to art shows and exhibitions support class research and work to give insight and inspiration for individual work. Choosing texts and writing about them as well as about the art works that are visited are the natural components of this process. “Signs” and “memories” are defined within verbal, social and cultural materials during this process.
The third part provides more space to students for self-expression through creating portraits. Context and composition of the work will make use of previous research and literacy skills on signs and memories to render portraits in a creative and innovative way.
Teaching Methods: Lecture, Individual Study, Discussion, Project, Implementation
