The course is formulated as an introduction to art theory and context in architecture in a general sense. The lectures ask questions of determining character for art and architecture: what is design, drafting, drawing or how science can be applied in designing art and architecture. Likewise, attention is focused on what creative thinking means and so on. The aim of the course is for the first-year students to become aware of and form the theoretical basis for further study right from the beginning of their studies. Overview of topics: 1. Types and genres of artistic representation 2. Dimensions of vision and perception, 2D - 3D 3. Cognitive functions of perception and imagination 4. The visible and the invisible in fine arts 5.
