This doctoral thesis treats of the early video art of the 1960s and 70s from four points of view: in chapter one the artistic and technological genesis of video art is analyzed; chapter two is dedicated to a scholarly analysis of video art on whose basis the relation of video art to other arts is determined (especially film and fine art), the chapter, furthermore, examines the properties of video as a medium; chapter three deals with the reception of video art by the audience, its mode of depiction and aesthetic properties which are demonstrated on specific examples; special attention is focused on temporality of video art; the final chapter is dedicated to feminist video art whose task it was to help emancipate women. The aim of the thesis is to present a comprehensive overview of early video art with emphasis on its artistic and aesthetic properties. The thesis does not merely rest on valid scholarly theories - it also analyzes specific art pieces which are documented in an extensive graphic appendix.

Our country is beautiful today, but tomorrow will be more beautiful. Relation of the theory of socialistic realims to the topic nature and landscape.
Charvát, Ondřej ; Stibral, Karel (advisor) ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee)
3 ABSTRACT Humankind in its whole being is reflecting an environment by culture and visual art. Different cultural periods value nature and environment differently, what have a strong impact on nature management - some culture periods have a strong feeling for protecting nature for its own value while others see nature just as a source of materials or energy. This relationship is possible to find in art artifacts made during particular culture period. The communistic idea was ruling for almost half of the twentieth century in former Czechoslovakia. And its point of view has strong negative impact on state of nature and environment. As an official style of art socialist realism was approved at the same time. Its main goal was portraying a new communistic world, new communistic society and new communistic man. Aim of this work is to find out how the socialistic realism displays nature and landscape topic in art pieces. In core of this work stays the assumption, that socialistic realism has no value for nature itself, on the contrary it appreciates only it's rebuilding for easier exploitation. Findings are based on study of theoretical art texts and art-pieces from the period 1945 - 1958. Keywords: nature, landscape, aesthetic, art, socialist realism, landscape painting

Algorithmic Generation of Esthetical Rhytmical Sequences
Mahnert, Jakub ; Klepárník, Petr (referee) ; Beran, Vítězslav (advisor)
The goal of this project is to design and implement a system, suited for proving or disproving the claim that it is possible to generate unique rhythmical sequences, which a human will perceive as aesthetical. In the project, a framework, aiding the design of such algorithms that create rhythmical sequences using composition was implemented. On top of it, several such algorithms were implemented with the notion to test their performance using a custom testing front end solution. From the gained data, the project tries to find correlations between the aspects of the algorithms with the resulting perceived aesthetical value as well as attempt to answer the initial conundrum.

Aesthetization of design
KLIMT, Michal
The student will focus on domination of aesthetic parts in design. This tendency is reflected by Czech colloquial terms too. The word "dizajnový" is used for a nice thing in contemporary language. There is a current state of design where aesthetic parts of design exceed practical parts. This reductional level is used and strengthened by massmedia (Designboom, Wallpaper etc.) and art galleries (e.g. DOX, GASK in the Czech Republic and Guggenhem museum and MoMA in foreign countries). It looks that the aim of design is beautification of things. That is thanks to the rising influence of aesthetics in vast majority fields of design. But isn´t the consequence of this, simplifying or depreciation of the meaning of the term design?

The aesthetic value of the results of art activities related to the process of teaching
KLOUDOVÁ, Martina
The thesis focuses on issues of aesthetic values in art education at the first grade of primary school. The theoretical parts sketch issues of art and kitsch, origins of kitsch and characteristic features of kitsch and the question of kitsch aesthetic defektivity. In the second part I focus on the problem of determining the aesthetic criteria in art education, the issue of transfer of aesthetic values and artistic-expressive qualities of children's products all of it taking into account the ontogenetic development of children's creative expression. The empirical part focuses on exploring the aesthetic value of art activities related to the teaching process in the context of ontogenetic development of the child to the first grade of primary school.

Principles of formation of urban greenery as a part of urban interior
Hrubanová, Denisa ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (referee) ; Prof.Ing.Ivar Otruba,CSc. (referee) ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (advisor)
Urban interior environment mostly serves as a place for various meetings and social events. Thus, these spaces come alive thanks to people, who give them reason and meaning. However, the question is what role urban interior has in the present day, which, at the beginning of the new millennium, is characterized by a high degree of individualism. Within the deurbanization tendencies, buildings and adjoining areas in central parts of cities are often abandoned and the activities move to the periphery. If we want to return the social function to the urban interior, as a place of pleasant encounters and relationships, we need to approach its formation with respect to current trends in the development of human society. From the perspective of sustainable development, it is also necessary not to extend the boundaries of urbanized area to adjacent landscape, while abandoning the central locations in cities, but to maintain their intensive character. From this point of view, it is necessary to realize, that it is the greenery that gives the city an opportunity to perceive public spaces as an integral part of urban life and not just as places that people walk through having no reason to stay longer than necessary. Application of greenery in urban interior provides many positive features to the city. Greenery is an added value that can also operate independently as a functional unit that links the other functions of the urban organism. Both in its solitary form and in line or area applications. Along with water elements, urban furniture, various hard surfaces and landscaping, greenery creates a pleasant and interesting living environment in the city that can be desirable and sought-after again.
