Addictive substances and Visual Art
Bobková, Simona ; Fišerová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Raudenský, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis discusses the topic of addictive substances and their influence on artistic creation. In the theoretical part, I first focus on the search for their connection in history on various artifacts that could be found. Among the most common are cave paintings, which I also list in my thesis, as well as sculptures and illustrations. Subsequently, I define the distribution of the types of individual addictive substances that are most often associated with visual artists, and which I describe later. These include alcohol, cannabis drugs, stimulants, psychotropic substances, and opiates. Furthermore, I characterize visual artists who were influenced by addictive substances in their work at that time. I present exhibitions that have a certain connection with this topic, and in the last line of my work, I focus on the preventive component of the relationship between school and family. In the didactic part, together with the pupils of the eight-year high school, we deal with the issue of these substances and realize an art series with the name that this diploma thesis also bears, i.e. "Addictive Substances and Visual Arts." The thematic series contains five creative tasks that aim at a primarily preventive goal. The research part, the method of which is semi-structured qualitative research,...

Linocut in Art Education (Contemporary Printmaking)
Havlíková, Margita ; Raudenský, Martin (advisor) ; Gajdošíková, Pavla (referee)
The bachelor's thesis Linocut in art education (contemporary printmaking) consists of three parts. In the theoretical part, I discuss the characteristics of graphics, with a special focus on a linocut. I describe in detail the history of linocut in Czechia and the world and, subsequently, its place in contemporary authors' work. Additionally, I have clarified the concept of the terms "game" and "bestiary", that I use in the didactic and practical part. The goal of my work is to highlight the linocut and its technique as a convenient tool for art education classes. In the didactic part, I designed a series of lessons whose central theme is an imaginary animal. In the beginning, the students are motivated by the "Imaginary animal" game. Subsequently, they create a drawing proposal and then use it during the linocut creation itself. The bachelor's thesis is concluded by my own author's creation, which is based on the already mentioned game "Imaginary animal".

Architecture as an opportunity to work
Svobodová, Šárka ; Brůhová,, Klára (referee) ; Vorlík,, Petr (referee) ; Zálešák, Jan (advisor)
The dissertation focuses on the interconnectedness of architecture and visual arts in the period of 1945-1989. As the nature of the research tended to expand and its outputs were aimed both at theory (in publication outputs) and at curatorship, popularization and activism, the textual part of the dissertation is organized as a collection of published works and those accepted for publication. All five texts, provided with a common introduction and conclusion for the purposes of the dissertation, share the same overall theme and pose an identical research question – what did collaboration between women architects and women visual artists look like in the period in question? The author of the dissertation seeks answers to this question through five specific examples of creative personalities (architects Jan Dvořák and Igor Svoboda), objects (a villa with a studio by artist Imrich Vanek) and urban areas (the sports complex behind Lužánky in Brno and the Brno Reservoir). The collection of the texts then identifies and deals with current topics such as the complicated attitude of the Czech society to works created during the communist era and the related insufficient monument protection leading to an irreversible loss of material evidence of post-war architectural and artistic production in the territory of what is now the Czech Republic. The aim of the work is to point out, through concrete examples, the quality of the period production, with which the lack of protection and poor professional care by the relevant institutions is in marked contrast. Therefore, the practical outcome is a number of activities that go beyond the academic treatment of the topic. The most prominent of these include the exhibition project Rejected Heritage prepared for the Brno City Museum, the author's book of the same name and a series of accompanying public events. Popularization, media coverage and politicization of the topic, supported by expert research, are proving to be the most effective tools for saving the artistic and architectural heritage of the second half of the 20th century. The conclusion of the research is the conviction that the topic goes beyond the art history level and should be viewed from a socio-political perspective.
