Anotace:

Course Outline: The purpose of this seminar is for the students to master the rules of composition which serve as the necessary base for further creative work within the upcoming years of their studies.

Course Description: What I consider important is the students? ability of independent work which should express itself even within this seminar. This is the reason why I have specified individual parts of the assignment in such a way that they would provide sufficient space for the student?s own creativity, which nevertheless is subject to technical quality.
