Syllabus:

The instruction is designed to acquaint students with the set-design history; to develop and cultivate their imagination using various historical approaches, to try and understand historical material as inspiration. Using the history of „great set design“ to expand the outlook of the puppet's potential, clearly understanding that during the whole of the last century the opposite also has been applied, i.e. that the puppet inspired the history of art and dramatic art.

It is important that students have an overview of the devlopment of art - at least of the modern period. They should constantly expand and enrich their resources of forms, spaces, colours and approaches. Their potential in creativity. The fact that opinions and approaches to creative work develop leads one to respect the historical chronology.
