The glass shepherd
Dohnalová, Tea ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The topic of my thesis are menhirs. Specifically, the largest Czech menhir known as the Stone Shepherd (3200 cm). The aim of this work was to transfer the exact shape and size of this megalith and materialize it here in Brno. This goal required the use of many procedures. At the beginning there was a photo shoot, then a 3D program, 3D program editing, and slicing into contour lines. Then I projected the menhir on a wall in real size and traced it to polystyrene boards. The next step was to cut out all 104 plates on a band saw and I could go to gluing and folding the whole object. The final step was to paint the object in white. The result is a simple and clean polystyrene object. I did not cover the contour lines - I present the object in the most direct form possible. The styrofoam megalith, despite its size, is a sculpture in the interior. Ideally, I would create an installation that would create a separate, isolated space for the object.

The Body as a Fragment
Dohnalová, Tea ; Sobotka, Jiří (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
In my Bachelor Thesis I focused on masks as an authentic imprint of human face. My intention was to verify the possibility of working with specific people in the broadest possible spectrum. My work has both artistic and psychological extent. I work with human identity and its forms within different social roles. This work is time consuming. I make plaster casts of faces of many dozen people. After removing, I get a form from which I cast the final form of masks. I work with a polyester resin that I mix with other materials. This gives me very different structures, colors and the appearance of masks. In this way I try to emphasize the differences of individual people. Every specimen is original, exceptional and inimitable.
