The course of creative practice "Manifestation of Visual Ideas" is for MA students and seminar format oriented (i.e. brief introduction lectures are followed by discussions and sharing of experience as well as information). The content of seminars is linked to reviews of visual concepts throughout the known cultural heritage of humankind. This may help to make a decision in the ways of expression and personal creative activities. Five lines mentioned in the program are for one to be chosen to make an artistic research in the discourse selecting texts and examples in art practice, as well as planning personal creative event and seeking to implement a final artwork at the end of semester. The key source of reading is mentioned on the list, therefore I suggest students finding texts themselves. The premise of this course is that theory/philosophy is at the core of visual culture therefore my advise for students is to examine carefully genesis of circumstances and possibilities of the manifestation of visual ideas.
