Christian Kitsch
ŠOJSLOVÁ, Lucie
This diploma thesis deals with kitsch as a manipulative tool parasitizing in the Christian environment, at the heart of which are especially emotionally colored and often sentimental themes that directly attack the feelings of the viewer. The main content is also the definition of similarities and differences between sacred and spiritual art, holy pictures and kitsch. The aim of the thesis is to bring the concept of "Christian kitsch", to point out its power and to think about the question of whether Christianity would even be able to exist without kitsch.
Eating as an Aesthetic Experience, or even as an Art?
JABČANKOVÁ, Anna Marie
This bachelor's thesis is focused primarily on options, whether you can consider food as an aesthetic experience or even if it is possible to call it art. The main points in this thesis are a rough look at food and the act of eating as a whole, which could then be called a type of "fine art." Pragmatic aesthetics will be the most significant factor in confirming or disproving this statement, as practical aesthetics focuses on everyday and mundane parts of life (as one of the few aesthetic and philosophical branches) and points out the unusualness and eventual aesthetic values. The last part of the thesis focuses on various eating habits and their aesthetic and ethical elements, which can sometimes even fundamentally influence the aesthetic experience of eating. The items listed in this thesis are the main features of an aesthetic experience related to eating and situations when it is possible to call eating an art.
Brno Connectivity / Brno Democratic City
Šuláková, Helena ; Landa, Filip (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
Being on the border between two different social and economical classes, this location is often looked down upon. However change the perspective slightly and it becomes an opportunity to integrate two contrasting communities. Therefore I‘m designing a space which blends different characters together. A green Oasis in the city where everybody feels safe and which encourages them to spend time, inspire one another and discover their potential. This is a place of culture, since everyone knows that sport, music and art are a powerful tools to breakdown social barriers.

Pérez, Marcel ; Hertelová, Viola (referee) ; Smržová, Kristýna (advisor)
The final thesis focuses on strengthening the connection between Kapitána Jaroše Street and Lidická Street, the city theater, and the vacant lot itself. The goal is to create a building that promotes the synergy of these spaces and their mutual interaction, ideally contributing to the overall revitalization and increased dynamics of its surroundings. Last but not least, emphasis is also placed on creating a landmark and cultural centerpiece, for which the vacant lot, due to its location, is suitable. Thus, the final thesis deals with the design of a modern art gallery.

Two Approaches to the Relation Between Science, Art and Human Nature. Aristotle and Jean - Jacques Rousseau.
Krutská, Ivana ; Blažková, Miloslava (advisor) ; Hogenová, Anna (referee)
1 Abstract This diploma thesis deals with philosophical thoughts of Aristotle and Jean-Jacques Rousseau and their views about science and art. It attempts to answer the question whether, from their perspectives, science and art proceed from human nature or not. Their opinions are very different. According to Aristotle science is a part of human nature because it comes out of natural human desire to understand. In the same way he considered art as integral to humans because it is derived from natural human ability to imitate. But according to Jean- Jacques Rousseau science and art make human nature worse. He claimed that we can't learn about human nature by observing people around us, but only after we understand how humans lived before they were changed by progress. He didn't include science and art in his description of the original human way of life because every new discover is, in his opinion, a part of destructive process of loosing simplicity of past times. The difference between Aristotle's and Rousseau's perception of human nature consisted, in my opinion, also in the fact that Aristotle made his convictions on the basis of his observations of the world unlike Rousseau who created the idea of the original human nature in his mind first and then critisized the world for it's differences from his...

The following part of the work presents the reconstruction of the regional significance of Komařice castle in the early modern period.

The last part of the work summarizes the monumental values of the castle and outlines the future fate of the building.
