Course content
The graphic studio is a place for individuals, who find the desire within themselves to express themselves freely. An infinite space with all spiritual meanings, which are within us and which become capturable by word, a line, a ray of light, an inner glimpse of ideas and events or energies. The expression of visual art is unlimited, with respect to both topics and forms. The studio work is delimited by what is referred to as a framework assignment, within which the student can work freely. A composition on a plane (limited to a planar surface). The students can work with any kind of material, in any form, however, traditional materials and traditional forms are preferred. Emphasis is put on development of individual creativity and sensitivity. The students analyse the assigned topic. Based on the analysis, they create their own concept and they determine the form and materials to be used in the work. In the introduction, students are acquainted with the topic in a lecture, by references to professional literature and by documents on works of art.

Learning outcomes
The studio work is limited by the so-called framework assignment, within which the student can freely move. Composition in space (limited to space). Students can also work with any material, in any form, however more traditional materials and traditional forms are preferred. Emphasis is placed on developing individual creativity and sensitivity. The student's work in the studio places high demands on students who are able to solve creative problems lying between art and social attitude, cultural responsibility and technological development. They must be able to see the project in specific environmental, cultural and social context and to be able to work with detail in a large spatial scale. The semester work ends with a final exam. Studio work does not involve only one's own artistic creation, but also a discussion of theoretical and technical problems conducted between students and teachers. Discussion in the studio is a continuous discourse on topics of artistic practice and the reflection of contemporary society. This permanent discussion helps to make students independent creative personalities with their own, not only artistic thinking. Elaboration of studio semester assignment and its successful defence. 1. analysis of the assigned topic 2. one's own concept 3. artistic solution
