Course objectives
The aim of the color art photography exercise is to inspire students to develop original creative approaches and seek new artistic starting points. The focus and form of the work is determined by the subjective intention of the author; the result may be an experimental free collection, a mock-up of an unconventionally conceived publication, or even video art, etc. The work will also include an annotation. A high-quality project can be submitted as a final exam or master's thesis.
