Course detail

Still-life Drawing

FSI-YKS Acad. year: 2016/2017 Summer semester

This course is concerned with drawing the composition of basic geometrical solids with a uniform surface in a perspective view. The course is a preparation for industrial design workshops.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

3

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The subject allows students to work on their technique of drawing by working on complex object compositions, following the knowledge of drawing single objects with the emphasis on the character of the whole from the view of space and material.

Prerequisites

Elementary knowledge of the perspective drawing is assumed as well as the experience with the drawing of still-life composed of basic geometrical elements with the uniform surface in a perspective view using a model with all types of shadows.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

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.
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. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". 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.

Aims

The aim of the subject is 3D interpretation of reality with the focus on composition of objects, their mutual volume and proportional relationship. Artistically correct representation of materials and surfaces is emphasized.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance in education is controlled. Missed lessons are compensated according to the agreement with a lecturer (e.g. a compensatory project is assigned). The excuse of absence is possible only due serious reasons such as illness. Unexcused absence and absence greater than 50% /including excused lessons / may jeopardise awarding the graded course-unit credit.
