Aims

The aim is to enhance students’ knowledge of drawing as the basic type of visual record and to develop students` creativity. Practical exercises emphasize building-up the mass in the surface and proportion of objects.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance in education is controlled. Missed lessons are compensated according to the agreement with a lecturer (e.g. a compensatory project is assigned). The excuse of absence is possible only due serious reasons such as illness. Unexcused absence and absence greater than 50% /including excused lessons / may jeopardise awarding the graded course-unit credit.
