Studio Practice RMN-REMG04
Basic knowledge of painting and sculpture conservation practices. Practice of interventions on real art objects (paintings, sculptures).
Application of theoretical knowledge from the Material I-II-III courses on the conservation site. From sampling, through conservation to documentation.
Students can join in on-going restorations, school assignments - learn a variety of conservation techniques. With sufficient time (full year), it is possible to restore an independent artwork

Restoration theory, professional knowledge RMN-REIS04
The course focuses on the acquisition of the basic professional knowledge of conservation-restoration of easel paintings , especially on the restoration methods of canvas paintings. The course is based on the multiple knowledge acquisited during the 1-6. semester at other theoretical professional courses (organic and inorganic chemistry, physics), and helps to realise the connection between the domain knowledges. The theoretical instruction establishes the high quality practical work, reflecting continuously on the practical work.

History of painting techniques, materials and painting RMN-FETT02
The objective of the course is to bring closer the fundamental raw materials and techniques of painting, especially of easel paintings. In the first semester besides the lectures about theoretical questions, the program of the course is given by practicing the preparation of paints and grounds . In the second semester we focus mainly on the emulsion and oil binding media painting methods, within it the egg tempera technique (pure egg yolk and tempera grassa) has a major role. The course elaborates the historical techniques of European painting through the examination of a determinative oeuvre. In this semester the main topic will be the painting methods of Michelangelo Merisi, called Caravaggio.
The individual elaboration of professional literature is part of the theoretical instruction. The task is to make a short presentation based on the professional literature sources (article or chapter of a book).

Works of Art examinations, consultation RMN-MŰVK02
Evaluating together the examination results of the artworks restored at the university, discovering of the knowledge regarding to the construction, material, history and damage processes of the object, consulting regarding the objects, practicing with microscope.

Artistic Anatomy and Projection MAT-ANAT02
Within the framework of the subject we learn the structure of the human body from the aspect of bones, muscles, form and expressiveness and process the drawing issues of space and space depiction. We develop a transparent body image to enhance the awareness of space vision, mass and plasticity. This improves the ability of analyzing and synthetizing to help awareness of depiction. All these enhance the fluency and the information richness of drawing communication. During osteology studies we learn the bone structure of the human body in detail. The form, function and connection of the bones. During the semester we prepare study drawings of all elements of the complete skeleton from as many aspects as possible.
The presentation of the musculoskeletal system through a sequence of lectures and the processing of these through drawings at the same time. Interpretation of the basic space elements and their shadows, leading to complex compositions by drawing.

Theory and Practice in Visual Communication GRM-TGEV02
Although the subject – among others – is dealing with the story of graphic design and – in broader sense – the practice of ’purposeful’ image making, the course offers useful knowledge for students from other domains of the visual arts alike. Graphic design as an applied art form has been witnessing a paradigm shift recently. Initially a service-centered activity, visual communication is getting just as valid means of self expression as any other visual art forms. Its role in the society and the reasons for the constant change in the methods and focuses of pragmatic image making cannot be fully understood without putting some objective determining factors under a closer scrutiny. Through the analysis of the means and aims of different visual strategies students can better understand their own social role and responsibility. The course is aiming to raise students’ consciousness in using the techniques they already can handle. The analyses of an array of different artworks may also play an important role in broadening their visual vocabulary to achieve artistic goals. During the semester the frequent occurrence of in-class dialogues on the selected themes help generate thoughts thus forming the participating students’ critical thinking and their verbal performance.

Mapping the local* INM-MALO01
The seminar presents an overview of the major phenomena, trends and issues of contemporary art based on various subjects in each semester in the form of presentations held by invited lecturers and field trips to museums, institutions and artist studios.
While offering an insight into the Hungarian contemporary art scene, one of the course's main objectives is to develop personal contacts and cultural interactions between local and visiting students fostering an emerging intercultural dialogue. During the semester, students work in groups in order to realize a collaborative project followed by an exhibition (contents and forms of the final project to be discussed during the seminar).
The course is primarily directed towards Erasmus students as well as local students of the Intermedia and Fine Art Theory and Curatorial Studies departments, but students from other departments are warmly welcome.

Site specific art work and interventions in public space^* INM-SISP01
Sites for the exhibition of art work have continued to move beyond the traditional places of the museum, gallery or public square. In addition, exhibitions themselves have also evolved into site specific public art events: whether as regular spectacles like the Venice Biennale, Documenta or installations by a museum such as the Tate Modern.
The seminar is a survey of the evolution of the different interdisciplinary art practices relating to site specific public art projects and interventions which take place within or outside of the traditional museum environments. Focusing on projects specifically conceived as forms of an artistic discourse situated in a variety of public spaces.
The class includes a discussion and analysis of specific projects and art works that have significantly shaped the dimensions of this area of artistic activity. Additionally, students will apply the ideas and issues that evolve from these discussions in the form of practice based projects.
