- Outline
What is the role of the "Materials" in the arts? Why do artists choose a certain material? Is it just an esthetic choice or is the motivation for the choice more complex? In the Advanced Art Course B I will introduce specific materials used in the three-dimensional art (as stone, plastic, earth etc.) with a main focus on contemporary Western and Asian artists. After the inspiring introductive morning lecture with a host of visual materials and important background information 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 about important artworks and their complex background. They will achieve practical, complex knowledge in expressing themselves in diverse materials and technics and will gain new unexpected views on the character of materials and their creative use.
