Course detail
Mass Study
FSI-YZ1Acad. year: 2019/2020
The subject deals with the basics of spatial modelling from the point of view of art. Practical exercises on general themes are the introduction and stimulation of visual possibilities for later specific assignments in subjects of industrial design. Study models of mass emphasize art quality of objects, clear concept of solution, logic of construction of volume, significance of proportions and relationship of the whole and details. A part of the subject is mastering the realization of models from basic materials.
