Contents

The course - Form and Content of the Artwork is designed as a course in the first year of the Bachelor's degree in which students learn conceptual approaches in their own work, learn to formulate their intention within the framework of the assignment and deepen the connection of their work within the historical context.

In the second semester, students examine the position of the creator, which is discussed through iconic authors. They address topics such as gender, social aspects of the work, and cultural and historical context. They work with the author's narrative, advertising media and its overlap, and reflect on the work of their classmates. In the theoretical part they deal with different media and their overlaps.
