Learning outcomes
The student can
- basics of workshop work and occupational safety practices
- understand the art that builds in the space as part of the field of contemporary art
- knows the basic principles of visualizing and creating spatial art
- outlines the possibilities and limitations of a three-dimensional work of art
- understand the basic principles of shape construction
- the appropriate use of materials in terms of economy and environmental friendliness
- estimate and calculate production costs
- professionally maps materials and their procurement
Implementation and methods of teaching
The spatial art course introduces the starting points of three-dimensional and spatial art. What it's all about and the possibilities it can offer for artistic expression. The aim is to broaden the student's understanding of art and its means of expression, with a view to future studies.
In the course you will work with a variety of materials and media, focusing on experimentation and exploring different perspectives. Experimentation and exploration is at the heart of the course, rather than a set outcome.
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.
Timing and attendance
The teacher is usually available Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays are for active self-study.
The course requires 80% active attendance.
Learning environment
