Students are doing practical works in practical lessons and independently. Each student have to develop following practical works, which are evaluated during exhibition:
1 exhibition: firs decor drawing; second decor drawing.
2 exhibition: landscape drawing; landscape painting; model of landscape relief.
3 exhibition: drawing of difficult decor; simple capital drawing, decorated capital drawing.

Five A5 format sketches each week on given topic.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The end of the course is a test with a mark in the 10-point system. The mark consists of the content of the completed works, design and quality of presentation. Each work is evaluated with a mark, the average is a final mark. If the student has not attended all lectures, then at the end of the course a test on lecture topics is taken. The accuracy of the test execution affects the final mark.
