Course detail
Drawing of Composition
FSI-YKS Acad. year: 2020/2021 Winter semester
The drawing of still life is a suitable method for developing the skills of drawing. Students are guided to capture the combination of shapes, sizes, colors, materials and textures of the overall composition in a perspective view, according to the physical model. They proceed from the elementary schematic drawing, which forms the basic structure of the work, to the realistic depiction of the displayed composition. This is supported by a detailed depiction of the lights, shading and shadows, allowing the illustration of volume and shape of each of the elements of the composition.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course enables students to develop techniques of drawing more complicated objects based on knowledge of drawing of partial objects with emphasis on the character of the whole in terms of spatial relations and material composition.
Prerequisites
Theoretical and practical knowledge of perspective projection and experience with drawing of compositions consisting of basic geometric bodies with uniform surface, perspective view, according to the model, including shadows and shading, are assumed.
Completion of the subject: Drawing of Product YKV.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The subject is taught in the form of seminars, which are focused on practical mastering of drawing skills with individual consultations.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Graded course-unit credit requirements: Attendance at exercises, meeting assigned projects deadlines.
Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on tasks (drawings). In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 – 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 – 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 – 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 – 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 – 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 – 0 / 4 / Failed.
Aims
The aim of the course is to gaining skills to spatial depiction of reality focusing on composition of objects, their volume and mutual proportions. Emphasis is placed primarily on the correct schematic drawing of the object, the quality of the contour lines and the proportional relations of the whole, as well as on the artfully cultivated representation of materials, textures, shades and shadows.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
