| 顿别蝉肠谤颈辫肠颈贸苍 | The concept for this course is to combine visits to art galleries and museums for the best exhibitions of the summer (with a focus on those closest to AAU campus) and related art studio workshops. The first week and a half includes field trips with guided tours to cultural sites and architectural landmarks, galleries, exhibits, and other related cultural events in the city. This includes a basic introduction to the history of Prague and Czech artists as an integral component of the first part of the course. There will be an emphasis on Prague鈥檚 art-cultural sites most nearby the campus in Mala Strana; then a selection of best temporary contemporary art exhibits will be visited depending on the city鈥檚 cultural program. These activities will be combined with short preparatory lectures and discussions afterwards. Students may have opportunities to meet local artists or curators on site, when possible, and determined by the special interests of the students. After introductory lectures with site visits for Prague鈥檚 specific art history and selected contemporary art exhibits, the class will move to the studio facilities for creative work inspired by the visits and Prague鈥檚 unique history and artistic heritage, which differed from the cultures of other European capitals and regions and so this can be a valuable source of inspiration for artists. Students will make creative works done in workshops for selective areas, with an emphasis on drawings and paintings. So, the first sessions will be devoted to exploring the art world with daily site visits and the second-half for creative pursuits, inspired by Prague鈥檚 vibrant cultural atmosphere. The course is unique in its focus on the interplay between art history and contemporary art in the Prague context and teaching traditional art skills, innovation, and creativity 鈥� all essential requirements for successful progression to Higher Education and careers in the creative industries. |
