The topic of my study is focused on the Arts Logistics, mainly in the Czech Republic. The first part of this thesis is theoretical and the second one is more practical. The study explains some basic terms related to museum and gallery logistics, given the general definition of logistics and logistics-differences in the cultural sphere. There are named a few companies dealing with transport and temporary storage of artworks. In cooperation with one of these companies is described here part of the extensive moving of The Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.

Contemporary art trade in the Czech Republic has been regarded as a private area accessible only to a few insiders. So far no adequate literature about this field has existed, the marketing strategies used within it were, not only from the outside perspective, quite unclear. This work shows that it is not a secret sphere. On the contrary, it is a part of the market, which has the effect that the more you talk about it openly, the better impact it has on the whole society. The author presents the current situation in this field, its historical context, and openly discusses the long-term marketing strategies of gallerists who work with contemporary artists. On the basis of case studies from abroad she also shows other possible ways how to bring society closer to contemporary art by means of some specific marketing tools.

In the thesis submitted, I deal with the concepts of human physicality and image and their mutual relationship from the point of view of how physicality can be made present in the image and hence in the very dialogue between an artwork and the viewer. The other part is devoted to artistic contexts. I would like to give examples of various works of art which can be traced by means of confronting the contemporary concept of physicality and the appearance of a human figure coming from the earliest paintings to art actions of the present and contemporary art events. My goal is to try to grasp the relation between image and physicality, especially in the context of art education and possibilities of gallery and museum education. I designed and implemented a large educational project: Painting the flesh - the physicality of painting, that uses elements of visually dramatic conception of art education, emphasizing work with pupils physicality of their own, linked to the contexts of art history and also deals with the theme of interpretation, reproduction and manipulation of paintings. The visual part is called Interpretation as a shift from the painting of physicality to the physicality of painting and is also derived from the topic examined in the work.

TITLE: 2D and 3D Dimension in Kinderdarten Art Education AUTHOR: Bc. Lucie Kaločová DEPARTMENT: Department of Art Education SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Magdalena Novotná, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This diploma thesis deals with the transition of areal and three-dimensional imagery in the works of selected artists, which are the basis for didactic transformation, into artistic activi- ties in the kindergarten program 'Starting Together'. The empiric part deals with the deve- lopment of spatial and areal perception among preschool children. The theoretical part discusses the contemporary understanding of art teaching and its full development potential in preschool education. It outlines the teacher's role in planning of artistic activities and his/her ability to provide children the world of culture and art in kinder- garten in comparison with the role of a gallery educator in an art gallery. It seeks to provide theoretical support for the empiric part and for the realized interdisciplinary project. It deals with the development of selected cognitive abilities of children of preschool age, sensation and perception, along with the possibilities of the development of spatial intelli- gence including the process of comparing during artistic activities. Art is put into the context of mathematics (didactics of mathematics education...

In thesis I focus on the current position of art gallery and museum education, which is influenced by science disciplines pedagogy and museology. In the theoretical part, on the basis of specialized literature, I define terms related to the theme of the work (gallery/museum pedagogy and educator, gallery/museum educator position within the institution, General educational program etc.). I am seeking further possibilities of cooperation and limits of cooperation of an elementary school with galleries/museums as institutions that have educational potential. Didactic work is based on qualitative research, which mainly uses the methods of open coding of videos from executed programs. My intention is to compare the differences and similarities in the implementation of educational programs between the 1st and 5th grade. Based on defined objectives I evaluate their implementation in accordance with educational programs, which are crucial for cooperation of galleries and schools. The focus is mainly on the conception, implementation and reflection of a three-phase educational program. The didactic part also reveals a possible link to the interdisciplinary relations. In the creative part of the thesis, I compile a topic of an authoring book, on the theme of the exhibition of Květa Pacovská: Maximum Contrast.
