Contents
The subject is closely linked to other subjects of the Master's practitioner. Its task is to expand the student's expressive register both in the technical and especially in the content aspect of his/her own work. The listener learns to generalize and expand the reasons and sources of inspiration for his/her own work, to seek and develop connections with contemporary tendencies in the visual arts, to place his/her own work in a broader context, and to be aware of its historical context. In the area of technical processing, the listener focuses on precise execution and adaptation. The course motivates the listener to work intensively, continuously, and in a focused manner, which includes orientation to the subject, definition and verbalization of the theme, choice of medium and its form, and realization of the work.
