Brief description:

The subject matter of the spatial form design classes is transformation. First, a black square becomes a flat graphic composition, which is then converted to color. The final stage of the transformation process is a spatial object, which is by assumption devoid of any utilitarian functions.

Course content / classes schedule:  

1. Graphic. The task is to create an achromatic flat composition in the contrast of white and black with the use of organic, geometric or mixed forms. Graphic work might be an individual expression on personal topics or possibly it could be relating to the current social or political issues. The graphic work can be realistic or abstract. From the formal point of view, the starting point for graphic composition is a square with sides 47x47cm, which should be divided into any number of elements. The obtained parts should be used to arrange a composition on the surface of the B1 format (100x70 cm), by using the general principles of art composition. All elements obtained from dividing the square should be used in the composition. The quantity of black should remain constant.

2. Color. Interpretation of the previous work. Converting black and white into color. By using color, the previous compositional arrangement becomes changed. Color also influences the transmission of meanings. By completing this work various techniques can be implemented, mixed-media including.

3. Spatial form. The results of the analysis of the entire transformation process are works which are in between the architecture, sculpture and applied art. It can be a free-standing form in its several positions or an object hovering in the space independent from the ground. Any techniques can be implemented. Suggested materials: glass, metal, wood, stone, plaster, textiles, mixed techniques, three-dimensional printing, etc.
