Abstract

Individual and consulted assignment of a dominant theme with a strong emphasis on the student's current abilities. The course assumes a basic aptitude for expressing oneself through various artistic means. The aim of the course is primarily to provide space for independent work focused on the use of one's own artistic creativity. It is preparation for the creation of an intermedia project initiated by the student themselves.

During the semester, mandatory consultations are required to document the development of work on the theme or its possible transformation.
