Experimentelles Aktzeichnen
Maria Temnitschka
Institute of Art and Technology, Life Drawing
2026S, Lecture with Practical Exercises (VU), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S05189
Description
The course is aimed at students with previous drawing experience who are prepared to engage with the subject of life drawing in an unconventional way. Students who are keen to experiment and question their usual approach can also benefit from the course. Different tasks are set in each unit, which in their entirety serve to sharpen perception, promote imagination and broaden creative horizons.
Free artistic creation is often opposed by external constraints, be it in the choice of means, the available space or the content (keyword: commissioned art). Resistance is part of artistic creation. Instead of letting these inhibit us, we want to look for ways and creative solutions to overcome them.
The aim of the course is to promote students' problem-solving skills, to increase their ability to overcome obstacles and to engage in artistic risk-taking.
