prerequisite
Knowledge
to recognize the basic drawing and painting elements and their funcionality in the creative process (point, area, color, modelation, lights and shadows) to show knowledge of basig theoretical patterns of imaging spacial objects into surface (linear perspective) to recognize basic functions of imaging human body in arts and dependance of chosen techniques on those functions with reference to several renowed authors to be aware of influence of the human body and emotions in non-verbal comunication in interpersonal contact on basic level (mimics, gestures, posing)
Skills
to work with basic drawing and painting mediums and techniques to work independently and flexibly react to evaluating commentary of the teacher to apply the knowledge to image spacial objects and relations between them and verify their elaboration into own work (measurement and comparison of proportions, composition) to see the basic differences and specifications based on individual character of imaged person

learning outcomes
Knowledge
of deeper understanding of basic elements of drawing and painting compositions and their possibilities in choosing different drawing and painting techniques depending on the aim of creative work (atmosphere, character) of basic anatomy and physiology of human body needed for its imaging of effects of color qualities of image and evaluation of those from level of absolute realism to hyperbole and symbolic meanings
Skills
to elaborate a portrait in drawing and painting with structure of component elements and parts of a face to elaborate a drawing of life model according to reality with high level of anatomical and physiological fidelity, from different points of view including managing perspective shortcuts and other specifics of imaging space on surface modeling of the matter by lights and shadows, to work with color in both realistic and hyperbolic and symbolic means to capture a motion of human body in drawing and painting to capture and work with non-verbal signs of human body in drawing and painting (expression and emotions, gestures, mimics) to image specific individual character and features of a specific model (body and face structure, individual particularities) to apply and further develop own specific artistic style on figural motives in both drawing and painting with the starting point in academical forms aiming to free author's artistic manustript
