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
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
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.

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.
