Aim
- The course aims to stimulate individual students’ artistic
abilities, so as to increase the preconditions for continued
education of their skills in visual communication and creative
design processes.
- The course aims further to enable them to take advantage of
their individual experiences in visual communication and to
initiate a process of development that bit by bit strengthens their
individual abilities to think constructively about their own and
others’ work and to build up individual students’ personal
relationships to aesthetical quality.

Contents
Individual students’ abilities to perceive people and objects
are stimulated through exercises in drawing and painting, with
particular emphasis on how the three dimensions of such objects and
the students’ two-dimensional images of them are related to one
another; one of the exercises is in artistically creating things to
accord with three dimensional public space. Lectures introduce the
exercises by clarifying the fundamental conditions of visual
communications.
