Content

The student becomes familiar with the history and theory of oil-soluble methods and practices the possibilities of the techniques as part of their own expression. The course also introduces the contents and means of expression in contemporary painting and ecological and ethical issues in painting. During the course, students will carry out practical assignments in which they will study the sub-areas of oil techniques and their expressive foundations. In addition to small exercises, students will complete one or more paintings in which expression supports the content, narrative and form of the painting. Students will actively participate in lectures, tutorials and feedback discussions on materials, oil painting expression and painting content, and pass the exercises.
