About artistic practice - this course introduces you to the skills needed to make art in general.

As a group, we will reflect on and try to answer the question: what kind of work is art-making and what does it require of the artist?

During the course, the teacher will support the students in various exercises, independently, in pairs and in small groups. Time will also be set aside for group discussions.

Timing and attendance

Face-to-face tuition Tue-Fri at the Fine Arts premises. The teacher will inform you in advance about the tasks to be carried out independently.

There will be two teaching groups.

03.10.2023 - 03.11.2023

Learning material and recommended literature

Materials available on Moodle.

Alternative completion methods

The course cannot be taken remotely.

Learning environment

Face-to-face tuition at the Fine Arts premises, also Moodle.

Contents

We will learn the basics of artistic work through various drawing and design activities.

We will stimulate ourselves to come up with ideas from different starting points, using a variety of methods. Where can an artist get ideas when their head is pounding? The artist is an observer of their own environment: this way of working will be consciously practised through different tasks. We sketch from both observation and abstract intuition.

We will create a variety of short tasks that can be used as tools to develop our own expression. The tasks will vary in duration - from a few minutes of reaction to a maximum of a couple of days of work. The emphasis is on brainstorming and sketching. In addition to drawing, we will also experiment with three-dimensional sketching, mainly using clay.

Most of the tasks will be carried out on the school premises, but there will also be independent work outside the campus.

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.

No previous knowledge is required to participate in the course.

Spatial art encompasses both individual art objects and installations built into a space, and everything around them. We will explore the field of spatial art through lectures, discussions, experimentation, writing and the unprejudiced implementation of assigned tasks.

Materials used in the course will be lightly worked sketch materials to allow students to experiment and expand their expression.

Large machines or an in-depth study of materials are not part of the course programme, but may be explored as the course progresses.

To complete the course, students must complete a learning diary in which they reflect on and process their experiences from the course.

Implementation and methods of teaching

In jewellery basics, you will learn to work with a variety of tools, materials and techniques that can be applied in a wide range of contexts.

Alongside technical work, the emphasis is on producing content. You will learn about jewellery techniques through material experiments, discussions, writing, lectures and short daily or weekly assignments.

Workshop work in jewellery art:

Introduction to the basic tools of the jewellery workshop, hammering, filing, sanding, leaf sawing, soldering, handling different materials in a safe way, the right tool in the right place.

Material experiments:

What it's like to sculpt soap or mould cardboard, how to use what you already have, how to make a new material, combining material and content in a work, creating a shape by removing or adding material

Writing/learning diary:

Students will explore jewellery makers and content through an assigned task and reflect on what they have learned in the course in writing

Lectures:

During the course, the teacher will give lectures on both domestic and foreign jewellery artists and phenomena.

Expression through jewellery:

At the end of the course, the student will carry out his/her own jewellery art project, in which the content and presentation will apply the lessons learnt during the course, making use of what has been learnt previously.

The debate:

teacher-led group discussion of the daily and weekly assignments, going through each student's experiments and ideas, final discussion at the end of the course

Implementation and methods of teaching

About artistic practice - this course introduces you to the skills needed to make art in general. Through a variety of exercises, students will learn about themselves as creators, learn to identify their strengths and how to use them. As a group, we will reflect on and try to answer the question: what kind of work is art-making and what does it require of the artist?

During the course, the teacher will support the students in various exercises, independently, in pairs and in small groups. Time will also be set aside for group discussions.

Timing and attendance

Face-to-face tuition Tue-Fri at the Fine Arts premises. The teacher will inform you in advance about the tasks to be carried out independently.

03.10.2023 - 03.11.2023

Learning material and recommended literature

Materials available on Moodle.

Alternative completion methods

The course cannot be taken remotely.

Learning environment

Face-to-face tuition at the Fine Arts premises, also Moodle.

Contents

We will learn the basics of artistic work through various drawing and design activities.

We will stimulate ourselves to come up with ideas from different starting points, using a variety of methods. Where can an artist get ideas when their head is pounding? The artist is an observer of their own environment: this way of working will be consciously practised through different tasks. We sketch from both observation and abstract intuition.

We will create a variety of short tasks that can be used as tools to develop our own expression. The tasks will vary in duration - from a few minutes of reaction to a maximum of a couple of days of work. The emphasis is on brainstorming and sketching. In addition to drawing, we will also experiment with three-dimensional sketching, mainly using clay.

Most of the tasks will be carried out on the school premises, but there will also be independent work outside the campus.

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.

No previous knowledge is required to participate in the course.
