The programme is focused on architecture, urbanism, sculpture, drawing, graphic arts, applied arts, industrial design and general design. The methodological aspect of the programme includes studies of sources, art-historical literature, recent scientific publications on art, theory of selected arts and its history, general theory of art and its history, aesthetic and philosophical aspects of arts and art history. From the point of view of applied knowledge, the programme includes the methodology, legal framework and practical aspects of work in heritage protection or in museums and galleries.
The aim of the programme is to offer basic historical and art-historical knowledge in the field of Czech and European arts and to cultivate the ability of critical analysis of works of art and their cultural and historical context. During the course of the study, students gain a general idea of the evolution of the different fields of art (architecture, sculpture, painting, and applied arts) and a general understanding of the scope and nature of movable and immovable heritage in the Czech Republic. Lectures and study trips introduce students to the main European historical monuments of key significance for the evolution of the history of European arts (e.g. in Italy, France, Germany, the UK, etc.).
