Graphic Studio Practice GRM-KGMŰ04
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
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.

Graphic Materials and Techniques 1 (Relief print – Litography) GRM-KATI02
Over the 1+1 semester study period, the course program covers two of the main technical fields: “ Linocut and Relief Printing”and “Litography” . In the first semester these two modules provide you with basic practical knowledge and comprehension which you will require for your future art practice. Each technique relies on different forms of learning and practicing.
The second semester provides you advanced in-depth practical knowledge on your main focused technique. Being this semester an additional one, it allows the improving the technical skills along a variable, but more consistent direction, based on the needs of the participants.
The course is taught in English.

Artistic Graphical Techniques II. 1 GRMGTII02
Over the 1+1 semester study period, the course program covers four main technical fields: “ Linocut and Relief Printing”, “Etching and Intaglio”, “Litography” and “Serigraphy”.
In the first semester the four modules provide basic practical knowledge and understanding which will be required for future artistic practice. Each technique relies on different forms of learning and practicing.
The second semester provides advanced in-depth practical knowledge of the student’s main focused technique. Being this semester an additional one, it allows to improve the technical skills along a variable, but more consistent direction based on the needs of the participants.

Figure Drawing GRM-TGAR02
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

Artistic Anatomy and Projection MAT-ANAT02
Within the framework of the subject we learn the structure of the human body from the aspect of bones, muscles, form and expressiveness and process the drawing issues of space and space depiction. We develop a transparent body image to enhance the awareness of space vision, mass and plasticity. This improves the ability of analyzing and synthetizing to help awareness of depiction. All these enhance the fluency and the information richness of drawing communication. During osteology studies we learn the bone structure of the human body in detail. The form, function and connection of the bones. During the semester we prepare study drawings of all elements of the complete skeleton from as many aspects as possible.
The presentation of the musculoskeletal system through a sequence of lectures and the processing of these through drawings at the same time. Interpretation of the basic space elements and their shadows, leading to complex compositions by drawing.

Theory and Practice in Visual Communication GRM-TGEV02
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.

Mapping the local* INM-MALO01
The seminar presents an overview of the major phenomena, trends and issues of contemporary art based on various subjects in each semester in the form of presentations held by invited lecturers and field trips to museums, institutions and artist studios.
While offering an insight into the Hungarian contemporary art scene, one of the course's main objectives is to develop personal contacts and cultural interactions between local and visiting students fostering an emerging intercultural dialogue. During the semester, students work in groups in order to realize a collaborative project followed by an exhibition (contents and forms of the final project to be discussed during the seminar).
The course is primarily directed towards Erasmus students as well as local students of the Intermedia and Fine Art Theory and Curatorial Studies departments, but students from other departments are warmly welcome.

Site specific art work and interventions in public space^* INM-SISP01
Sites for the exhibition of art work have continued to move beyond the traditional places of the museum, gallery or public square. In addition, exhibitions themselves have also evolved into site specific public art events: whether as regular spectacles like the Venice Biennale, Documenta or installations by a museum such as the Tate Modern.
The seminar is a survey of the evolution of the different interdisciplinary art practices relating to site specific public art projects and interventions which take place within or outside of the traditional museum environments. Focusing on projects specifically conceived as forms of an artistic discourse situated in a variety of public spaces.
The class includes a discussion and analysis of specific projects and art works that have significantly shaped the dimensions of this area of artistic activity. Additionally, students will apply the ideas and issues that evolve from these discussions in the form of practice based projects.
