In the Czech Republic, creative universities do not engage in academic forms of creativity. Teachers do not teach students craftsmanship. Working in an atelier teaches them to find their own themes and forms, to dialogue and mutual exchange of ideas. Contemporary art can look like anything - what matters is how the author thinks about it and how he or she is able to interpret and put his or her thoughts into context. Collaborative discussions are emphasised in the teaching. Students learn to explain the meaning of the works in the context of contemporary art, art history and the state of the modern world.

Specialities

• Fine Art

• Restoration of works of fine art

• Architectural art
