Course objectives
The aim of the course is to teach students to use the intervention potential of art (1) as one of the possible ways of the communication. That is realy beneficial for people with disabilities in an inclusive culture. (2) The acquired knowledge leads students to the fact that art allows verbal and non-verbal expression through specific forms. It is possible to support the self-expression and the self-reflection on the basis of cognitive processing of the experience.
Learning outcomes
The course will offer the students the current issues of the art mediation for the people with disabilities and the art mediation of authors with disabilities in the contemporary culture. This presupposes self-reflection and its sharing with others on the basis of the information about art brut, outsider art and disability art. One of the paths to this important goal is through our own creative activities or through animation programs in the cultural institutions.
Syllabus
  • Students will be provided with an introductory theoretical insight into the issue of art forms through a lecture and their own study of professional texts. Student gets acquainted with the work of the most important artists with disabilities in our country and abroad (eg Gugging, ITEart, Inuti, Karrisilta, ABC collection). Student will gain knowledge of various forms of mediation of art and cultural experiences through group work. Student will get the information about the importance of multimedia author's artistic work of people with disabilities and its importance for their personal development.
