Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: akad. soch. Josef Sládek, ArtD.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to gaining skills to spatial depiction of a simple mass with emphasis on the correct realization of proportions. Attention is paid to the perspective projection and following its principles in drawing.
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 shading.
Prerequisites:
Only basic theoretical and practical knowledge of perspective representation and experience with drawing from non-artistic secondary schools are assumed.
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. 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.
