ART / THE BASIC OF ART

Basic Art Course

The term "art basics" suggests the idea that there is a basis for artistic work. It should however be constantly questioned along with current developments in art.

The following areas of study can be tentatively described:
Introduction and experimental examination using visual methods in the fields of painting, drawing, sculpture, video/film; the imaginative and artistic use of colour, line, surface, space, form, material and time; theoretical and practical training of perception in the sense of a sharpening of visual capability, with reference to the observation of nature and the presentation and reflection of one’s own work; finally, examples of conveying knowledge of culture and art history of past eras as well as information about current artistic opinions. Here, experience shows how important it is that theoretical discussions are offered not only by art theorists but also artists themselves (i.e. the perspective of art-makers).
