Comparison of Selected Promotional Posters and Works of Socialist Realism from 1946-1956 from a Gender Perspective
Halouzková, Anna ; Hrůzová, Andrea (advisor) ; Michlová, Magdaléna (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the depiction of women in communist propaganda posters and works of socialist realism from 1946-1956. My main research aim was to find out how the depictions of women in posters and paintings differ from each other and how they are similar. I used content analysis and social semiotic analysis in my work. Both media have the same purpose, from which they both share a simplistic method of depiction. Furthermore, both media have in common that they portray more men than women. Further, both groups predominantly depict women in childcare. The differences between the two are more numerous. Posters and paintings work differently with the collective and most often take place in different settings. The different activities that women most often perform in posters or paintings are then derived from these. They also differ in the number of women depicted and the type of perspective used. Another difference is the work with the collective, which is used differently in both sets. The last difference is the difference in the portrayal of the roles of men and women.

Around Everything I've Got
Moštěk, Richard ; Chomová, Juliána (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The central motif of my bachelor's thesis is the expansion of a fictitious universe with the help of displacement the boundary of the perception of the object as an image when entering the space. I'm trying to find an edge the perception of the image as a documentation of fictional stories on canvas, versus an artefact in spite identical use of material and technical process. I am exploring the limits of the canvas stretched on the frame and approaches to "multispectality" through which the work can track. The stylization of the painting is influenced by the aesthetics of the first digital feature films animated films and video games from the 1990s and 2000s. The default connecting point for the individual works are a relationship between a wooden frame, cotton canvas and oil paint. Imaginary point zero. The timeless narrative mirrors the significant features and patterns of human action society, including my inevitably subjective point of view. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to create a set of oil paintings with exaggeration reflecting civilization's reluctance to mature to the long term sustainability. The final output of my project is an installation of paintings/creating objects the scene for the viewer himself – the third person.

Sound of a low whisper
Krutsche, Karin ; Mladějovský, Josef (referee) ; Štindlová, Marie (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis examines the intersection of Christian themes with everyday life and draws inspiration directly from the Bible. The author focuses on her subjective interpretation of faith and reflects on the unexpected ways in which God's presence can manifest itself. Through her artwork, she visually depicts these themes, emphasizing the symbolism of light as a representation of God's transcendence.

Shapes of Growth
Gehringerová, Bára ; Těthalová, Gabriela (referee) ; Štindlová, Marie (advisor)
The author has been working on the motif of the plant in her work for a long time. She uses them as a metaphor, inspiration and a means to contemplate natural, social and psychological systems. In her bachelor's project she will develop this theme, continuing to explore the similarities between the plant and the human, both formally, in the construction of bodies, and above all in the way each entity exists, for example, in the possibilities of coping with external stresses and supportive influences, in the process of growth and development. The exploration of the plant world is a means of contemplating the human one and their interrelation. Plants thus also become a projection screen, a character narrating the social dynamics of human communities and the psychological processes of the author herself and human beings in general. The aim of the bachelor's work is to create a coherent series of paintings dealing with the theme of human experience through the symbol of the plant.

Wonder&Wander
Porubský, Aleš ; Zapletal,, Aleš (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
In the Bachelor's thesis entitled Wonder&Wander I loosely follow up on my previous work, in which I work with the themes of alterego, escapism, self-mythologization and . The work deals with an imaginative world in which I work with characters who are heroes and guides at the same time. Wonder&Wander follows heroes and guides in various situations, environments and moods, which are a reflection of my reality and personal experiences. The paintings of this cycle are thematically about fleetingness, melancholy, abandonment, searching, wandering, feeling the world and inner changes. An important theme of this series is the motif of the journey, which has multiple meanings for me: the journey as a solution to problems, the journey as a search, the journey as a preparation, the journey as an environment for changes... The work Wonder&Wander is divided into two parts in order to create a certain duality of reading of the themes, which are present in the motifs of the images. In the first part, I focused on the landscape and the motif of the journey as such, while in the second part, which consists of portraits, I try to amplify the sense of urgency of the mentioned themes.

Shades
Králová, Balbína ; Kovář, Petr (referee) ; Fexová, Patricie (advisor)
The result of my thesis is a set of paintings in dry pastel on canvas. Through the deliberate deformation of figures, which I use as a means of artistic expression, I try to capture the fragile nature of human existence, characterized by instability and transience. The subjects of the resulting paintings are portraits that depict my sisters and me.
