Course aims

The aim of the course is to introduce students to clay as a fundamental material for three-dimensional art and to develop their spatial imagination. Students will acquire knowledge of the basic technological properties of clay, methods of processing it, and its potential use for artistic and educational purposes. Through practical assignments, they will develop modelling skills, sensitivity to form, volume, and composition, as well as the ability to create formal and abstract compositions. Emphasis is placed on developing haptic skills, creative thinking, imagination, and the ability to analyse and transform forms into individual artistic expression.
