Distinctive features of a study programme:
The curriculum of Applied Art focuses on the study base that correlates several areas of art and design (jewelry, metal art, sculpture, furniture, fashion). The emphasis is on creative practice, which includes not only theoretical studies (discourse of critical thinking, methods of artistic research, managerial skills), but also practical knowledge of the chosen field (mastering of materials and technologies, relationship with public space, social environment).
The basis of the program is the understanding of aesthetics and purpose, form, space and materiality, allowing students to dive into the conceptual depth of the work through tactile project experience, to analyze the perspectives of interaction between art, design and craft, and to evaluate the complexity and interdisciplinary context of an artwork.
This is particularly relevant in the context of the contemporary art world, where traditional genre boundaries extinct and creators seek for authentic self-expression.
