Didactic Illustration
Studio head: akad. mal. Renáta Fučíková
Assistant: MgA. Eva Bartošová
Uniquely, the studio focuses on non-fiction illustration, which is currently enjoying a great boom. Students primarily prepare for their professional career through joint projects. They learn how to convey information through images and compile it into a communicative and artistically demanding whole.
Renáta Fučíková, the studio’s head, lets her students explore their own paths and only guides them in their development. A variety of artistic expressions is developed in the studio. Students publish and exhibit together and individually, at home and abroad.
