Course abstract
The study course acquaints with concepts of the design of a form, its functional and decorative features, the materials and instruments necessary for activities, provides an insight into the types and elements of forms. The practical sessions help to develop the flair of a form, to deepen insight into proportions, different constructions, relief and synthesis; students develop skill to apply different materials and constructional possibilities in the space and environment, to develop paper relief and imprints, to combine a form and a colour.
