Minaříková, Laura ; Jehlička, Jan (advisor) ; Osterrothová, Kateřina (referee)
This thesis deals with the use of Raman spectroscopy in the arts, specifically in the identification of precious stones and semi-precious stones in various art works. This work describes the basics of this method, options and practical use based on selected scientific publications. The existing results of research in recent years shows that this spectroscopic analytical method on the rise. It is thanks to the many advantages that this method offers skilled in the art. The main advantages of Raman spectroscopy include speed and affordability analysis, minimal or no sample preparation, and most importantly - non-destructive to sample and explore the possibility of sample on the spot, without having to often very difficult transport to the laboratory. Key words Raman spectrometry, art, characterization of artifacts

Is there a relation between arts and quality of life?
Krutská, Simona ; Šípek, Jiří (advisor) ; Štětovská, Iva (referee)
This work discusses the potential of art to influence quality of life. The theoretical part introduces general aesthetic-psychological principles, thanks to which art work can appeal to us, having the goal of expressing what is typical and essential for art as a whole, and introduce art work as a place of meeting and a challenge for personal growth with the goal to distinguish it, through this characteristic, from other ways of spending free time. Furthermore, the theoretical part briefly introduces the development of the concept of quality of life including the definition of its overlapping to the philosophical anchoring in the conception of humanistic, phenomenological and positive psychology, and it presents research, which, at least indirectly, deals with the topic of art and quality of life. The actual research part compares the subjectively perceived quality of life of people interested in art (conservatory students, n = 73) with a comparative group (high school students, n = 66), with a focus on the present situation as well as future expectations. The research results show that the conservatory students attain higher values attesting higher perceived quality of life. However, in order to deduce the chain of causation it is necessary to conduct further research in this area.

Humans no/creative interventions into Landscape
Černá, Tereza ; Šmíd, Jan (advisor) ; Velíšek, Martin (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis is intended to be a theoretical study focusing on the visually creative aspects of the topic and the application thereof in the field of teaching. The aim has been to examine human intervention in the landscape and to get behind the concept of "(no-) creativity". I have attempted to use theoretical and creative knowledge to devise individual lesson series, which primarily explore the relationship between children and their environment. The purpose of these series is to stimulate pupils' interest in their surroundings, encouraging them to notice details and changes, and to awaken their capacity for reflection, so that they become more closely in touch with their surroundings, thereby having a positive effect on their future behaviour, not just towards their own immediate surroundings but to nature in general. KEY WORDS art, art education, landscape, human, intervention, city, nature, photograph
