Experience, knowledge and skills acquired in the first three years of the studies.

Evaluation of student’s work is ongoing throughout the semester in the form of verbal feedback. It is optional to invite external experts in the field or other FaVU teachers or other members of the academic community to give in-depth or additional feedback one or several times per semester. At the end of the semester, the work is evaluated by awarding credit. The following conditions are set for the award of credit:

• Regular attendance at classes (75 % attendance) or its compensation in a form determined by individual agreement with the lecturers;
• Active participation in the studio programme beyond the regular studo meetings (mock presentations with external guests, outdoor courses, workshops, lectures, visits to exhibitions, excursions, meetings in the online space, etc.);
• Ongoing work on artistic projects of an individual or collective nature according to the assignment set at the beginning of the semester;
• Evident interest in contemporary art and the sub-focus of the studio.

Classes take place in the studio space at FaVU, or at other locations according to the current program. Attendance at the class is mandatory (75% attendance at regular studio meetings is mandatory). If the class includes mock presentations with external guests, outdoor courses, workshops, lectures, visits to exhibitions, excursions, online meetings, etc., attendance at these activities is also mandatory. Higher absences can be compensated for in an individually determined way in agreement with the teachers.

The aim of the course is to provide students with material conditions and a friendly and stimulating environment for artistic development. Through the continuous realization of artistic outputs, their consultation and participation in joint activities, students should acquire the ability to think conceptually about their own work, technical skills and theoretical overview that will allow them to compete in the professional field of contemporary art.

Students will acquire knowledge and skills that should enable them to compete in the professional field of contemporary art, such as conceptual thinking about their work, technical skills and knowledge of relevant material processes or technological procedures, the ability to verbally articulate their own artistic intention, an orientation to relevant theoretical approaches and disciplines, an overview of contemporary art issues and wider public debate, and the ability to critically evaluate and contextualise their own creative practice.
