Annotation
Students who will take part at the lecture called „European Arthandicraft“ will make aquaintance with the basic types of handicrafts (which is a sector of the Applied Art), their functions and significance in the society at that time, from the medieval times till the 20th century. The teaching will be focused on the traditional handicraft areas: glass, ceramics, procelain, furniture and interior, metalwork, etc. The focus will be, besides the creative development, partly directed also on the contemporary technologies and materials, that influenced very often the form of the artistic objects.
At some reasonable cases the attention will be given to the Czech art, because the Bohemian Handicraft Art (or
Applied Art) played many times a distinguished role in the European context, e.g. glass production around 1600, baroque glass, glass works of the biedermeier period, prorcelain of the classicism and biedermeier period, pottery around 1800, etc.).
The lectures will be structured by the specific art´ s periods (the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque,
Rococo, Classicism, etc.) and shall aslo include number of visits to the Prague Museum of Decorative Arts, where students are able to see the permanent exposition called „The Story of Materials“ and above all will have a chance to visit the Museum´s Depositary of old and modern glass, textile, furniture and other interiors, metal, ceramics, porcelain, etc. The direct contact with these historical articles will help the students to broaden their knowledge and understanding about these areas of art and and the context of its origin and development.
