Story of gesture
Matušek, Jakub ; Horčicová, Monika (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
In my bachelor thesis I want to deal with the detail of the human body and the importance of this detail. The detail I chose is a hand in a gesture. I chose it because of its unique ability to convey information or emotions through gestures. A gesture of expressions can be expressed through gestures. From a simple disagreement to a scientific term. It was this aspect that fascinated me and I continue to follow it in my work mainly from an aesthetic point of view. The creation of the concept of the sculpture was procedural and arose from the individual steps that I took during the design.

Vaculíková, Zuzana ; Mrkosová, Eva (advisor) ; Hádková, Kateřina (referee)
The topic of the thesis is communication problems of the majority of society and groups of deaf people. Deaf people also live in the majority of hearing society. These people meet each other and they can communicate with each other. This communication is problematic, however, because in the communication of deaf and hearing there are communication barriers. In this thesis, we used a quantitative method of the surveyed hearing respondents. We researched what communication problems exist in the communication of the majority society and a group of deaf people. Based on the methods used, we found that communication problems are mainly caused by a lack of awareness of the major societies of the group of deaf people. In this thesis, we propose to raise awareness of the majority of the hearing society about a group of deaf people, in order to eliminate communication problems. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
