SCULPTURE WORKSHOP: PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CREATING A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

One of the necessary and mandatory conditions for high-quality professional art education is training in an environment that encourages creative work and provides the necessary level of comfort, ergonomic, technological, sanitary and technical requirements and proper organization of labour protection. Compared to other artistic professions, the working environment of a sculptor is more complex. It must be equipped with the necessary technical equipment (mostly quite large) and manual and mechanical tools, take into account functional requirements and complex technological processes, as well as provide the necessary and diverse indicators of lighting level, temperature, humidity, noise, etc. All these requirements also apply to sculpture academic workshops, where students learn the basics of the profession. Subsequently, graduates of sculpture departments use the acquired skills in their creative activities. Stating a certain degradation of the requirements for the profession of the sculptor, the authors of the publication express worries about the obvious underestimation of requirements for the workplace of a professional sculptor, which can be observed in numerous examples, and remind the reader of these basic requirements
