During the course student will develop their own video artwork, which will be screened during the International week 15 at Kino (the big auditorium in the first floor), Mediapolis.
Courses of Moving Image –module in Fine Art programme are planned for the Fine Art path –students, which means that they are not courses to learn technical skills in the first hand, quite on the contrary they emphasize critical thinking, careful planning of a project as well as experimental approach in producing a moving image project to the contemporary art scene.
Students are encouraged to work as a team in order to learn to collaborate and help each other as visual artists do in their artists’ collectives. One of the teaching methods is problem based learning, which develops skills to find creative solutions in a video project.
