Geometric Objects Drawing (FSI-YKG)

Academic year 2019/2020
Supervisor: akad. soch. Josef Sládek, ArtD.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Practical workshops focusing on construction of a simple mass in plane with emphasis on the correct realization of proportions. Attention is paid to the perspective projection and following its principles in drawing. The aim is to practice the correct depiction of simple objects of various positions in perspective, including their shading and drawing by model.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Obtaining basic knowledge of drawing technique by drawing geometric objects and objects corresponding to basic geometric bodies. Gaining knowledge of perspective projection principles, correct realization of proportions and simple shading.
Prerequisites:
Only knowledge from a secondary school of non-art orientation is assumed. The student's interest in the chosen subject, which is significantly related to the development potential in the chosen field is important.
Course contents:
The subject leads students to the basic theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to master the art of drawing. Geometric objects form the basis of most of designed units and their correct depiction is necessary to make proportionally correct drawings following the rules of perspective projection. Practicing linear drawing according to the model defining the contour of individual geometric bodies, compositions of geometric bodies and objects corresponding to their shape. Gradually drawing with basic definition of lights and shadows. The course is a preparation course for design workshops.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The subject is taught in the form of seminars, which are focused on practical mastering of drawing skills with individual consultations.
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.
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. 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. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
Type of course unit:
    Studio work   13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
