Avatud Akadeemia kursused

NB! Valides registreerimisvormis kõik kolm moekursust – Luxury Brand Management, Luxury and Fashion Study Trip to London ning Moe- ja trendide prognoosid, on hinnasoodustus 25%.

Moe- ja trendide prognoosid: trendi anatoomia ja trendide ajajoon moedisaini protsessi ja moetarbimise mõjutajana.

Moetrendide ennustamine on loovtöö, millel on reaalne kommertslik resultaat.

Moeennustused aitavad prognoosida, milliseid tooteid brändid ja jaemüüjad peaksid kavandama ja müüma, minimiseerides riske ja vältides ressursside raiskamist ja kulutusi. Ennustused aitavad ka sihttarbijast üks või kaks sammu eespool olla neid mõistes nii, et oleks võimalik pakkuda neile tooteid, mida nad soovivad.

Käsitletavad teemad:

• Trendide ennustamine kui kunst, teadus, matemaatika ja loogika. Intuitsiooni, kogemuste ja andmete kombineerimine. Moesuundade mäletamise mälu. Moesuundade prognoosimine, trendide ajajoon ja tuleviku stsenaariumid 10 aastat ettepoole.
• Demograafiline analüüs 5 aastat ettepoole ja tarbijakäitumise stsenaariumid. Moetarbija läbi erinevate generatsioonide muutuvas moemaailmas kui tuleviku mõjutaja.
• Visioonid 2 aastat ettepoole: värvid, tekstiilid, disainiarendused tootegruppide kaupa, hooaja tähtsamad ”võtmetooted”. Hetketrendide tajumine. Trendid peegeldavad seda, kuidas me valime oma elu elada.

Juhendaja Vilve Unt on olnud kauaaegne Eesti Kunstiakadeemia moedisaini osakonna professor ja avatud akadeemia moestilistika õppekava juht, kes moetudengite koolitamise kõrvalt on viimastel aastatel aktiivselt esinenud oma loominguga moenäitustel ja moekollektsioonidega Tallinn Fashion Week’i üritustel. Tema loomingut on tunnustatud Hõbenõela auhinnaga.

Vilve Unt peab oma loomingu juures oluliseks pikaaegset elukogemust moevaldkonnas ning sellest tulenevat kindlust muutuvate moevoolude keskel iseendaks jääda. Selliselt positsioonilt sündinud kollektsioonid on autori arvates loodud üheks hetkeks moelavale, kuid kunstina eksponeerimiseks ka näitusesaalis.

“PROMENADE” on Vilve Undi uus kaubamärk, mis edastab ajas kestma jäänud väärtusi, kudumikollektsioonid on mõeldud neile, kes hindavad ajatu ja unikaalse disainiga kvaliteetseid tooteid, mis on kauakestvad ja hooajaülesed.

Botaanikas on taimeaiaimelisi. Vaata maikuu kohta: http://botaanikaaed.ee/oiekalender/mai.

Läbi aegade on taimed inspireerinud kunstnikke, disainereid, arhitekte, insenere, muusikuid ja kehakunstnikke looma vorme, arhitektoone, objekte, mustreid, koreograafiat ja lõputult imelisi teoseid.

Taimeaed on imedest tulvil. Vaatame neid joonistaja pilguga. Uurime lähemalt ning kujutame taimi mitmel moel, alates botaanilisest illustratsioonist kuni lihtsustatud märgini, natuurilähedasest kujutamisviisist kuni lihtsustatud vormideni. Loome mustreid.

Katsetame erinevaid töövahendeid, nagu grafiit ja värvipliiatsid, viltpliiatsid, markerid ja värvid. Kasutame erinevaid töövõtteid. Ülesandest ja ilmast lähtuvalt töötame nii avamaal kui ka kasvuhoones.

Vajalikud materjalid: paberid (formaat kuni A2), teip või klambrid paberi kinnitamiseks, markerid, värvi- ja viltpliiatsid, pastellid, pintslid, tušš või värvid. Osaleja võtab materjalid ise kaasa. Kaasaskantav joonistamisalus on kohapeal olemas.

Koolituse läbinu:

• on saanud ülevaate töövahenditest
• on katsetanud erinevaid töövõtteid
• orienteerub erinevates kujutamisviisides

Kursus lõpeb arvestusega, mille sisuks on kohapeal tehtud tööde ja kodutööde esitlus. Arvestuse läbinule väljastatakse Eesti Kunstiakadeemia täienduskoolituse tunnistus.

Kuna töötame õues, panna selga ilmaga sobiv riietus. Kaasa võtta istumisalus ja päikeseprillid. Töövahendite kandmiseks on mugav väike seljakott, et oleks võimalik kiiresti asukohta vahetada.

Juhendaja Ülle Marks on lõpetanud Eesti Riikliku Kunstiinstituudi (ERKI) magistritaseme kunstniku-graafikuna. Ta töötab Eesti Kunstiakadeemia disainiteaduskonna joonistusstuudio juhataja ja joonistamisõpetajana.

Clean and Draw (eesti keelne info allpool)

This course is for anyone who wants to perform a spring cleaning in their head. We’ll draw sketches that help see our surroundings with a clearer eye and pull ourselves out from the avalanche of everyday responsibilities. We’ll use drawing as a way to get the cobwebs out.

We will look at how drawing practice can help create the necessary distance from the problems confronting us, allowing us to find clarity and new energy within ourselves.

The course will involve use of markers to create sketches in a short space of time, followed by individual and group analysis of the drawings.

No prior drawing experience is required.

Note: the course will be held in English.

Materials needed: participants will bring their own sheets of paper and markers.

Continuing education courses at the Estonian Academy of Arts are oriented toward longer courses and development of skills. This year, we have created a new opportunity for those who aren’t able to participate in longer course formats but still want to broaden their understanding of developments in art, architecture and design, acquire knowledge and skills and benefit from the guidance of the Academy’s instructors.

The courses in question will be held on the third Saturday of each month.

 

Joonistame pea selgeks

Kursus sobib igaühele, kes soovib korraldada oma peas koristuspäeva. Joonistame visandeid, mis aitavad näha ümbritsevat värskema pilguga ja eemalduda hetkeks igapäevakohustuste laviini alt. Joonistamine on kui puhastusvahend.

Vaatleme, kuidas joonistamisharjumus aitab luua vajalikku distantsi ees olevate probleemidega, et leida endas selgust ja uut energiat.

Kursusel teeme markeriga lühiajalisi visandeid ning analüüsime joonistusi nii individuaalselt kui ka rühmas.

Harjutused ei eelda eelnevat joonistamiskogemust.

NB! Kursus toimub inglise keeles.

Vajalikud materjalid: paberid, markerid võtab osaleja ise kaasa.

Registration deadline: 6th of May

Students applying for a slot in this workshop are asked to submit a CV and cover letter describing why they wish to participate and whether they have any old article of clothing to bring with them to Estonia. The cover letter should also reveal why they are interested in restoring textiles and haute couture.

Aim of the course:

• bring a disappearing specialized manual skill to Estonia and teach it to Estonian and international students
• restore articles of clothing in the collection of some Estonian museum and thereby contribute to the preservation of an exhibit item with historical value.

Course content:

The course provides practical and theoretical knowledge of how to restore old clothing – selection of fabrics, stitches and seams, treatment of the material, how different materials age, how to care for and restore different fabrics. In the course of the workshop, students will learn about the internal structure of haute couture clothing, allowing them to later create period-specific silhouettes or re-interpretations of them – pattern solutions for textiles, materials. The course will provide knowledge and skills that can be used to get closer to the secrets of high fashion. All of the participants in the course will be able to restore a part of dresses brought in by the lecturer.

The course teaches handicraft skills that have become a rarity, something highly sought-after among professionals. ˇFewer and fewer people practise these skills in a world dominated by modern fashions. Today clothing made 40, 50, even 100 years ago are held in high regard, as they involved the use of original patterns, hand stitching, high-quality tailoring. To this point, the creation of such clothing have remained shrouded in arcane mystery – they seem easy to imitate at first glance but it is impossible to achieve the right effect without knowing what is going on “under the dress.”

The course is mainly meant for fashion design, theatre design, restoration and design students.

In addition to the general admissions requirements, candidates are expected to submit a letter of intent describing their interest in attending the workshop, and a PDF portfolio including documentation of at least one project relevant to the use and/or attributes of wood.

This 6-day workshop Wood and Design in the lush woodlands of Viljandi, Estonia, focuses on the design aesthetics, ecology, and sustainability of wood. Exploring themateri al properties of wood through its use in design, the workshop invites participants to build a set of functional wooden objects for outdoor living with the simplest of means. Participants will utilise wood, as a naturally-occurring renewable material, in two forms: solid slab and left-over scraps from local lumber mills. The workshop is therefore not only community-inspired, with materials sourced or found locally, but also meets the ever-growing need to reclaime and recycle waste wood.

Level:

2nd and 3rd year BA students and MA students in Interior Architecture, Furniture Design, or the equivalent.

Content of the course

This workshop is structured on architecture, numbers and cognition with the focus mainly on public space. Two broader topics pervade the workshop. One of them is more physical, involving translating the world into parameters, and the other is mapping social activities. The broad goal is to find connections between the two sets of topics. The environment around us consists of a number of physically countable and measurable parameters, which we can use to describe it (width of a carriageway, location of a cafe). Which parameters are the best for describing or designing the world? As another important topic, we will map the movements or activities of human masses, using photo and image analysis and Wi-Fi positioning to this end. When, why and where are people moving and how long do they stop – this is an important set of topics, because the quality of space is largely dependent on the presence of people. The participants in the summer academy course will be challenged to find relationships between the physical world and human activity. It will be important to find a means and method for measuring and documenting the environment. Cognition referred to in the course name refers to experience that can be used in future to make decisions to design and re-design space. Ideally, we envision the participants who complete the academy to be capable of imagining and perceiving the implications of 1,000 people or 100 cars passing a point.

Picking key parameters (properties) from this environment has long received attention from urbanism scholars: William H. Whyte, who attempted to trace patterns of use of public space, or Kevin Lynch, who tried to find the mental model people use to understand a city.

The late 20th century brought a rise in computing power, which has resulted in change in the accuracy and use of many calculations. In the past, it was not conceivable to calculate trajectories from one building to another manually, but it is now possible. Alongside this trend, a completely new field has arisen: various kinds of simulations. Simulations make it possible to model traffic, pedestrians or both at the same time. Gathering data has become more intensive with a focus moving from gathering qualitative data to collecting quantitative data. A large part of the summer school involves field observations, which helps instil intuition in participants as to what a given indicator means. This will also give them a clearer understanding of the computational processes and outcomes and they will be able to rationally assess the outcomes of some simulation or facts presented to them.

Participants will become well-versed in methods and means for quantitatively and qualitatively documenting the street-level space, which can in turn later be used for analysis of other places. The participant will also receive an overview of and access to software used in the framework of the workshop. At the end of the summer school, all of the data that was gathered will be made public to allow third parties to use them in their projects – for example, to plan more fluid, safer traffic conditions.

In addition to the general required materials, candidates are expected to submit a letter of motivation explaining why they are applying and what is their experience with 3D printing so far (max A4).

The Department of Ceramics at the Estonian Academy of Arts invites you to participate in an international Clay 3D Printing workshop. Ceramics have properties that allow it to be used in the most disparate fields. We usually don’t consider that ceramics are all around us, not just in kitchenware, but also in bathrooms, swimming pools and public interiors, and that stoves and fireplaces, even houses, are made of fired clay. Top-quality ceramics can be found in medical equipment, audio technology and air and space industry. Clay is sensitive, flexible and versatile material with its’ own technological limits which the participants will learn during the workshop.

3D printing in clay allows us to print three-dimensional objects or models at lower cost and more easily. For ceramists, it represents a new technological possibility, while for others it gives a chance to convert digital sketches into real three-dimensional objects. During this course, participants will learn the technical skills of 3D printing and printing in clay: creating G-code and STL files, plus preparation of the clay and printing. The aim of the course is to use innovative thinking to discover new ways of printing, using clay and the printed ceramics. The end of the workshop will feature a pop-up exhibition of the objects created.

The workshop is aimed at ceramics, architecture and design students, but admission is open to all students who have had experience with 3D printing and know how to create 3D files. Every participant needs to bring their own laptop. All other materials are provided, and students may keep the objects they print.

Homework assignment for selectees:

1) students will be asked to bring one of their 3D-file, print ready

2) students will be asked to come up with a design they would like to execute in the workshop. They will be asked to give a presentation on the design in person. As in a hackathon, they will then set to work on the problem.

In addition to the general required materials, candidates are expected to submit a letter of motivation explaining why they are applying (max A4).

The Contemporary Art Field in Estonia short course is meant for international art history or curatorship students who are who are studying contemporary Estonian or Baltic art, are interested in the contemporary Estonian art world and in working with Estonian artists, curators or art historians, plan to enrol at the Estonian Academy of Arts and are looking for an overview of how the local art landscape operates. The workshop will be led by Academy of Arts teaching staff member, head of the Centre for General Theory Subjects and freelance art critic Maarin Ektermann.

The short course provides an overview of how contemporary art scene in Estonia functions – the most important organizations, the movers and shakers, the currently important and active artists from different disciplines, and the types of events being held. The causal factors behind the art scene are also explored, starting from the restoration of independence, Estonian art in the context of the regional and broader international art scene, and much more.

 

Topics to be discussed:

• Trends in contemporary art (social criticism, new painting, installation – architectural approach – public space, photography, graphic design, applied arts, etc.). Examples of artists and their work.
• The functioning of the art scene – who is active (what types of professions are feasible in Estonia), how are they funded (Ministry of Culture, Cultural Endowment of Estonia, creative industries, the law that requires a 1% art budget for public buildings, private capital, the art market, artists and work), general diagnostics – bottlenecks and success stories. The development of the art scene since the 1990s, illustrated by keywords.
• Central institutions and platforms (public and private capital-based). What is characteristic for, e.g. galleries, town galleries in county seats, creative industries centres, etc.? Other examples: artists’ residencies, culture factories, Tallinn Art Hall, Tartu Art Museum, Temnikova and Kasela Gallery, Centre of Contemporary Art Estonia, Estonian Artists’ Association.
• Formats and locations of various events. Concentration of art scene mainly in Tallinn and Tartu – what’s going on elsewhere?
