Fundamentals of Drawing (FSI-YKA)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: Ing. Dana Rubínová, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim is to familiarize students with drawing such as the basic type of visualization. Practical exercises focus on the relationship between the paper, instrument, format and basic expressive tools of the drawing process. Focus is placed on the basics of perspective principles and their reflection in drawing.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students acquire the basic knowledge of drawing. Practise in geometry elements drawing represents the first step in mastering skills and acquiring of basic knowledge of a model drawing.
Prerequisites:
Students are assumed to have basic knowledge from the high school without art orientation. The interest of students in the course together with the potential of the development in the selected branch is very important. The course is determined to students who will take talent exam on speciality "Industrial design".
Course contents:
This course provides students with the basic theoretical and practical knowledge that is necessary for drawing. It is concerned with drawing geometrical solids using a model.
The course is determined to students who will take talent exam on speciality "Industrial design". Its completion is a necessary condition for the following course "Geometric Objects Drawing" in the 2nd year of studies. At the end of the semester the selection process /talent exam/ is held for students who are interested in the speciality "Industrial design".
Teaching methods and criteria:
Creative work in ateliers.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Graded course-unit credit requirements: Attendance at exercises, meeting assigned projects deadlines.
Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on tasks (drawings). In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
The quality of the output and the attendance to the course will be taken in account when evaluating the talent examination to the Industrial Design in Machinery branch.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
Absolving the course (Graded course-unit credit) is one of the requirements for acceptance to the Industrial Design in Machinery branch.
Type of course unit:
    Labs and studios  13 × 3 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Labs and studios 1. Relationship between the paper, instrument to creative process and final drawing, work with a pencil, point, line, circle, ellipse, curve and their combination;
2. The line- vertical, horizontal, diagonal and their combination;
