Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the subject in to get the students acquainted with the basics of drawing in exterior. The course focuses on drawing of landscape and architecture while following the rules of perspective. The task is to monitor the structure of displayed objects by reducing their shape and drawing the individual components and their position in the whole.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Practising drawing in plain air allows students gaining habits for drawing smaller and bigger historical and modern architecture by drawing concrete objects in wider context of surroundings. Students will broaden their ability to capture the depth of spatial objects and natural elements that shape the environment.

Course contents:
The subject is focused on basic themes of drawing in the open air (a landscape, small architecture, architecture of historical buildings). The task is particularly to capture the objects within the observed compositions according to the rules of perspective projection, unambiguous statement of lines of individual objects or their parts. The course is organised as one week course.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through exercises in the open air.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Graded course-unit credit requirements: Attendance at exercises /one week course/, 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.
If some of the projects are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed".
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. .

RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 - 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 - 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 - 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 - 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 - 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 - 0 / 4 / Failed.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Compulsory attendance at seminars. Regarding the special character of the organization of the course the control of attendance is made by consultations of running results of drawings. Missed exercises are compensated according to the agreement with a lecturer (e.g. a compensatory project is assigned).
