- Outline
INSIDE-OUTSIDE. We see ourselves as inhabiting a body and from inside our bodies we perceive the world outside. Is this an intellectual concept or the reality? And in which ways is it expressed in the three-dimensional Art? With a focus on contemporary sculpture and installation I will introduce European and American artists in the morning lectures with a host of visual materials. In the afternoons the students will experiment with diverse materials and technics, learning how to express themselves in three-dimensional objects and spaces. The artworks will be presented in a group exhibition.
- Purpose
The students will expand their knowledge of human concepts reflected in the Arts and learn about main artistic tendencies.
They will achieve practical and complex knowledge in expressing themselves in diverse materials and technics.They will gain deep insight about the interrelation of intellect, perception and the creative process and accomplishment.The students will expand their basic knowledge of the arts.
