Contents

The course will deepen the perspectives and possibilities opened up by the basic course 'Spatial Art' on the basics of expression. Spatial art covers traditional sculpture, as well as methods and modes of expression in spatial art.

Initially, the course focuses on material experiments and techniques, followed by their application to artistic work. The course includes various material experiments, broadening the knowledge of different methods, and outlining one's own work within the framework of spatial art and contemporary art.

The content focuses on clay, ceramic clay, mould making and plaster casting, woodworking, machine working, metal exploration and their application in artistic expression. The dimensions of spatial art and the multidisciplinary possibilities of expression will also be explored.
