The ideas are specified in discussion/colloquy. Students will explore artifacts (visual expressions) by studying them through discussions, sketches, copies, paraphrases and in readings. The aim is to support student’s conceptual thinking and intensification of their manual and intellectual abilities in art range. The result of the project is not predetermined.
