Studio Practice SZM-SZOG04
The course is held by various teachers of the department in different studios
The goal of the course is the education of autonomous personality, who has many accomplishments. The training is in masterclasses (there are four classes, optional), where the students are together from the different years. The spectrum of teaching stretches from tradition to modernity, from classical to contemporary sculpture. The different classes focus more on the figurative, the abstract-nonfigurative or conceptual problems of the sculpture. The method is based on the personal consultation between the teacher and the student. There are often tasks given to the whole class and group exhibitions.

Sculptural Drawing SZM-SZBR04
The course is held by various teachers of the department in different studios
Drawing is the most simple and direct way of visual thinking. The course provides regular opportunity for drawing in the studio, in close connection to the studio practice. It involves studies, designing, free self-expression drawing or can be an opportunity to try some graphic techniques. The teacher is the same, like in Studio Practice.

Digital Practices for Sculptors FEM-DISZ02
Digital Exercises in Sculpture
Beyond the classical visual art fields, like painting, sculpture and graphic art, this Subject is trying to open the doors of new technical media, from still image photography through digital drawing/painting to the motion pictures recording and processing or digital presentation, getting a software knowledge, going through several experimental tasks.

Foundation Course in Stone and Wood Carving SZM-KŐFA01
Beyond being only a technical process carving is an important way of thinking in sculpture by creating forms via substraction as opposed to additive techniques like modelling in clay. First of all students try hand carving. Later they are taught to use machines, pneumatic carving tools. They get introduced to different stone and wood types at the end of course. Students can realize their own ideas with the help and guidance of the workshop leader.

Medal Course 2 SZM-ÉRMÉ02
The goal of the course is to get acquainted to the story of medals, coins, plaquettes. It covers the whole process from choosing the theme, first sketches, modelling, carving till production and marketing. At the beginning of the course every student has to choose one out of three themes and design and make one side of the medal in plaster. The best piece will get ready by minting medal process in the Medal Manufacture of Szeged. There are excursions and visits to workshops and collections. Completing the course, the students will be able to compete individually in medal design competitions with their unique artistic medals.

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.
