Summary
The content of the course is to introduce the clay as a basic sketch material for the spatial idea. Knowledge of its technology and processing possibilities. Practical studies of details and intersections of elementary subjects, aiming to improve spatial imagination.
Some of the more complicated intersections of materials and shapes will be virtually modeled by Rinoceros. Students will test their perception of space in a two-dimensional environment bounded by a diagonal monitor.
Abstract assignments to the topic serve to develop creative thinking.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
