PAINTING

Painting Studio Work FEM-FEMM04
The course is held by various teachers of the department in different studios
Painting Studio Work is the main course of the painting training. It enables students to acquire the artistic attitude as well as the methodology of engaged creative work. Students will be introduced to different materials and to classical and modern painting techniques in order to gain knowledge of and confidence in the expressive toolkit of universal painting art. Besides the different painting and other artistic techniques the course gives space for individual technical and artistic experimentations.

Color Theory FEM-SZIN02
József Attila Erdődy
The aim of the course is to use colors, the most important expressive tools of painting consciously and innovatively in order to create autonomous contemporary works of art.
Beyond the basic terminology of the field, through the theories of universal classic arts and of science history the course will teach their contemporary tendencies. Besides using traditional painting materials and techniques, the course will also put great emphasis on the knowledge and use of recent technical inventions, the electronic imaging and display tools in painting. To do so, the course will introduce students into the most important correlations of the basic terms physics, biology and psychology. With the help of this course we want students, having the necessary knowledge and experience, to create their own world of colors thus helping their improvement in painting.

Digital Exercises in Painting FEM-DIFE02
József Attila Erdődy
This course's aim is to bring closer participants to the last developments in the picture
making - in the aspects of electronic and digital technologies. The training is in relationship
with painting practice, with connection to the painterly approach of the last decades.
The course in Fall semester is more focusing on single image, while in Spring semester it is concentrating on motion picture, or moving images.
In both courses practice will be focused on the basic understanding of these methods and the course also contains some software knowledge and skill developments for painters as well.

SCULPTURE

Studio Practice SZM-SZOG04
The course is held by various teachers of the department in different studios
The goal of the course is the education of autonomous personality, who has many accomplishments. The training is in masterclasses (there are four classes, optional), where the students are together from the different years. The spectrum of teaching stretches from tradition to modernity, from classical to contemporary sculpture. The different classes focus more on the figurative, the abstract-nonfigurative or conceptual problems of the sculpture. The method is based on the personal consultation between the teacher and the student. There are often tasks given to the whole class and group exhibitions.

Sculptural Drawing SZM-SZBR04
The course is held by various teachers of the department in different studios
Drawing is the most simple and direct way of visual thinking. The course provides regular opportunity for drawing in the studio, in close connection to the studio practice. It involves studies, designing, free self-expression drawing or can be an opportunity to try some graphic techniques. The teacher is the same, like in Studio Practice.

Digital Practices for Sculptors FEM-DISZ02
József Attila Erdődy
Digital Exercises in Sculpture
Beyond the classical visual art fields, like painting, sculpture and graphic art, this Subject is trying to open the doors of new technical media, from still image photography through digital drawing/painting to the motion pictures recording and processing or digital presentation, getting a software knowledge, going through several experimental tasks.

Foundation Course in Stone and Wood Carving SZM-KŐFA01
Beyond being only a technical process carving is an important way of thinking in sculpture by creating forms via substraction as opposed to additive techniques like modelling in clay. First of all students try hand carving. Later they are taught to use machines, pneumatic carving tools. They get introduced to different stone and wood types at the end of course. Students can realize their own ideas with the help and guidance of the workshop leader.

Medal Course 2 SZM-ÉRMÉ02
Tamás Szabó
The goal of the course is to get acquainted to the story of medals, coins, plaquettes. It covers the whole process from choosing the theme, first sketches, modelling, carving till production and marketing. At the beginning of the course every student has to choose one out of three themes and design and make one side of the medal in plaster. The best piece will get ready by minting medal process in the Medal Manufacture of Szeged. There are excursions and visits to workshops and collections. Completing the course, the students will be able to compete individually in medal design competitions with their unique artistic medals.

GRAPHIC ARTS

Graphic Studio Practice GRM-KGMŰ04
István Madácsy
The Graphic Arts Department deals with the possibilities of graphic work in the context of current art production. Students are encouraged to try out any kind of graphic representation and they are supported in further artistic thinking, developing projects and working for personal purposes. We also offer a wide range of creative printmaking courses and workshops that will introduce students to varied traditional techniques including etching, intaglio, lithography, relief and screen printing. Our workshops provide all the technical equipment and most of the required materials. All participants will receive expert individual guidance on creative input and direction about the artwork being made, and there is a possibility to try and achieve computer-aided procedures, experimental or unique methods as well. For the applicants we also provide special topics on demand. Students will be encouraged to set their own projects, and our intention is to develop personal visual language and critical decision making, and to focus on their own independent artistic understanding and acting. Every student should be open to the contemporary interpretations and has to be able to address questions of content, of subject matter. We hope that they will extend and broaden their printmaking knowledge through developing personal projects, shaping themselves by forming their art.

Image and Copy - Practical Applications of Graphic Mediums GRM-KGAM02
András Lengyel, Bianka Dobó
The course aims to develop strong independent points of view and a mature grasp of the range of critical debate surrounding contemporary art, furthermore experiment with new forms of printmaking (application of experimental techniques, special materials, tools) based on the issued task during the current semester. A tutor monitors progress, sets targets and directs students in their studies. In addition to the official consultations, the students may request technical assistance based for the complete of the tasks this requires an additional appointment with the instructor. Alongside this, workshops and projects designed to introduce a range of techniques and approaches are offered throughout the semester. Students develop their studio work in discussion with the tutors. Students attend taught practical classes in printmaking. We highly encourage the experimentation. Recommended literature is always determined by the current topic.

Figure Drawing GRM-TGAR02
Péter Berentz
Having reviewed major international illustration definitions, we try to elaborate the ontological and typological model of illustration and its texts and the model of reception methods.
The interpretation must compare the two poles continuously. Our studies try to validate the research principle and the interpreter, who contemplates the illustration - advocating for the important role of illustration, even more for the importance of its quality, and for the utmost importance of recognizing its functional complexity – necessarily has to theme the questions of the configuration and confrontation of text and images, literary works and illustrations.
Maximum number of students: 8 persons

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Graphic Studio Practice GRM-TGMŰ04
László Lelkes
Graphic design studio practice by selected exercises and assignments is to encourage practical experiment based reconsideration of existing modes, methods and standards of visual communication. The practice of traditional manual techniques are just as important in the creative process as the knowledge of the cutting edge digital media. The healthy combination of the two can open new horizons in contemporary image making. Tasks in the course of the semester are modelling conceivable situations when visual answers are not only fulfilling external expectations but are equally valid means of expressing individual artistic messages. Depending on the different tasks students are to practice the usage of different levels of abstraction from the concise world of logo design and typography to the more talkative realm of illustrative narration. Our main concern that instead of specialization students can acquire a multi-sided knowledge so that later they have a better chance to build a successful career in the whole spectrum of graphic design. Compulsory assignments may be accompanied by real commissions from external clients and staff controlled participation in design competitions. Collective and individual consultations are held regulary on the consultation days twice a week.

Theory and Practice in Visual Communication GRM-TGEV02
László Lelkes
Although the subject – among others – is dealing with the story of graphic design and – in broader sense – the practice of ’purposeful’ image making, the course offers useful knowledge for students from other domains of the visual arts alike. Graphic design as an applied art form has been witnessing a paradigm shift recently. Initially a service-centered activity, visual communication is getting just as valid means of self expression as any other visual art forms. Its role in the society and the reasons for the constant change in the methods and focuses of pragmatic image making cannot be fully understood without putting some objective determining factors under a closer scrutiny. Through the analysis of the means and aims of different visual strategies students can better understand their own social role and responsibility. The course is aiming to raise students’ consciousness in using the techniques they already can handle. The analyses of an array of different artworks may also play an important role in broadening their visual vocabulary to achieve artistic goals. During the semester the frequent occurrence of in-class dialogues on the selected themes help generate thoughts thus forming the participating students’ critical thinking and their verbal performance.

CONSERVATION/RESTORATION

Studio Practice RMN-REMG04
Basic knowledge of painting and sculpture conservation practices. Practice of interventions on real art objects (paintings, sculptures).
Application of theoretical knowledge from the Material I-II-III courses on the conservation site. From sampling, through conservation to documentation.
Students can join in on-going restorations, school assignments - learn a variety of conservation techniques. With sufficient time (full year), it is possible to restore an independent artwork

Restoration theory, professional knowledge RMN-REIS04
The course focuses on the acquisition of the basic professional knowledge of conservation-restoration of easel paintings , especially on the restoration methods of canvas paintings. The course is based on the multiple knowledge acquisited during the 1-6. semester at other theoretical professional courses (organic and inorganic chemistry, physics), and helps to realise the connection between the domain knowledges. The theoretical instruction establishes the high quality practical work, reflecting continuously on the practical work.

History of painting techniques, materials and painting RMN-FETT02
The objective of the course is to bring closer the fundamental raw materials and techniques of painting, especially of easel paintings. In the first semester besides the lectures about theoretical questions, the program of the course is given by practicing the preparation of paints and grounds . In the second semester we focus mainly on the emulsion and oil binding media painting methods, within it the egg tempera technique (pure egg yolk and tempera grassa) has a major role. The course elaborates the historical techniques of European painting through the examination of a determinative oeuvre. In this semester the main topic will be the painting methods of Michelangelo Merisi, called Caravaggio.
The individual elaboration of professional literature is part of the theoretical instruction. The task is to make a short presentation based on the professional literature sources (article or chapter of a book).

Works of Art examinations, consultation RMN-MŰVK02

INTERMEDIA

Intermedia - Studio Practice INM-MŰTG04
Allan Siegel
The practice of active art activity. Studio work based on individual creative work and personalized lecturer’s consultation led by the lecturers of the Department and by external lecturers. The practices are part of the studio work as the use of the laboratory and the studio following the students’ programs and tasks.
The point of view of the media artist is characterized by a cognitive – ready to know – artistic behavior. Seeing the fields of science, technology and art as a unit, the media artist is able to use the new mediums in an artistic way and to create a modern, autonomous artistic production which is suitable for the challenges of the 21^st century.
Through the synthetic or analytic use of the different techniques, tools and methods of the artistic expression the media artist creates high-level artistic works, considering the changes of the function of art and the modern, constantly forming social rule of it.

How to create Works of Art INM-MŰKÉ04
Allan Siegel
In this studio program we analyze both well known and less familiar art works as well the practices and ideas that are part of their creative processes; additionally, these discussions become part of a critique of the work of the participating students.
Alongside these discussions and critiques there are creative and practical exercises as well based on a simple 4 semesters structure. From drawing to video we analyse artworks with the help of radical interpretation. This course aims in the first semester the establishment of objective and critical attention, in the second semester we deal with dramaturgical questions, in the third and fourth we focus on the image-making processes.
The final outcome of the studio program is an exhibition of the creative work of the students in a venue decided and developed by the students.

Multimedia INM-MULM02
Erik Róbert Langh
Studying Multimedia helps participants to define a creative approach with technology and media of their own in the process of creating artworks. Participants should have basic knowledge and routine in technical media, in virtualization and visualization, in the use and post-production of digital media. In the framework of Multimedia students become acquainted with making art aided by the computer, to solve problems that traditional mediums unable to solve.
Following the traditional narrative and dramatic interpretations computer simulations became able to mediate reality. Involving the audience into simulations - the possibility of interactivity - urges the media artist to find more natural ways of communication between human and machine. As the 3D perspectival representation of the physical world helps the process of perceptual reception, new developments enable us to use CGI, interactivity, photogrammetry, game peripheries, virtual spaces in art making. During the lectures several approaches and practices are demonstrated: optical and electronic scanners, lens correction, digital cameras, Microsoft Kinect, exercises in working under diverse light conditions, in- and outdoor environments, object or surround orientations of scanning. Visual engines like WebGL, OpenGL help reviewing the recorded material, or publishing them either to the WEB or offline for local installations
