The diploma thesis Provincial Courts in 16th Century Portrayals in Bohemia deals with portrayals of the higher provincial courts sessions in Bohemia in the 16th century as well as with their typology. In this time arose mural paintings, which decorated representative spaces of some residences which belonged to the prominent nobleman families, pictures and graphics which illustrated treatises with law themes. The aim of this thesis is to map these portrayals, compare them and set them into the cultural-historical context.

1 ABSTRACT This thesis presents a study of a field of everyday culture - medieval fashion and its development during the reign of Charles IV of Luxembourg and his son Wenceslas in the Czech lands in the years 1330 - 1410. As these fashion trends and changes were exhibited primarily through the clothing of nobility, this thesis focuses exclusively on the environs of the aristocracy and royal court. In addition to written sources and archaeological finds, the fine arts also serve to advance our knowledge of Gothic fashion trends, whose works authentically capture the contemporary clothing styles and changes in all of Europe. This thesis therefore examines, through a methodical analysis, how wall paintings, panel paintings and book illuminations of Czech provenance reflect changes in clothing fashions and tastes in courtly environs during the period of time known as Luxembourg Gothic. This study of primary iconographic sources in authentic historical buildings and galleries was further aided by the creation of an extensive photo archive. This thesis presents a representative sampling of the works from this archive which documents a basic transformation of Czech clothing culture and the creation of a Bohemian style of Gothic fashion, culminating at the turn of the 14th and 15th century and enriching European...

This thesis focuses on the topic of stencil painting in Central Europe. Based on the review of literature the current state of research is described and the technology is placed in the broader context of the decorative techniques used in the Middle Ages. Attention is paid to the history, process of making of the templates, method of their printing, the typology of used designs, the question of performing artists or craftsmen and wide possibilities of its application for the panel or mural paintings. The main focus of the thesis is the use of stencil painting and its specifics in the case of use for the polychrome of flat wooden ceilings and mobiliary in the churches interiors. The motifs used for their decoration are examined with regard to iconography, considered is also the possibility of the existence of overall iconographic program. The second part of the thesis consists of a catalogue with locations, where the stencil paintings have been used for decoration of flat ceilings or mobiliary in Czech, Slovak and Polish Republic. Keywords medieval art, stencil painting, ornament, Central Europe, wooden flat ceilings, mobiliary, polychrome, iconography

Here and now In my painting series „Here and now“ I use a method of permeating, come up and lose the object. My paintings moves from concrete visual to abstract position. In this form I have found my one way to express term whitch I called „folklore abstract“. Each pice consist „things“ from my grandmothers house, with whitch I have got some relationship. I have create three large 200x190, 190x180, 190x180 oil paintings.

O presente trabalho, de natureza qualitativa, tem como objetivo contribuir para a contextualização da Matemática e da História da Educação Matemática no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem dessa ciência a partir de propostas didático-pedagógicas inspiradas pelo discurso do professor Júlio César de Mello e Souza, o Malba Tahan na revista Al-Karismi (1946-1951). A pesquisa, por um lado, propõe um estudo dessa fonte e, por outro, um diálogo com as possibilidades didáticas para a prática docente em matemática na Educação Básica, envolvendo a História da Educação Matemática, em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, e se utilizando dos instrumentos Fichas de trabalho e Relatório-Avaliação com alunos do 8° ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública da cidade de Ituiutaba/MG. Serão apresentados os resultados da aplicação de seis propostas didáticas elaboradas para a pesquisa, tendo por eixo de análise o levantamento de categorias definidas previamente com base nas possíveis situações de aprendizagem a serviço da História da Matemática, relacionadas ao discurso dos alunos. O estudo apontou que os estudantes se envolveram mais com a prática do professor, relacionando alguns termos do discurso tahaniano aos conhecimentos construídos em sala de aula. Acredita-se que a proposta colaborou com a construção de um ambiente de investigação propício para o pensar matemático, suas relações com o contexto sociocultural dos estudantes e na utilização da História como recurso que orientou e fomentou a compreensão de conteúdos disciplinares, tangenciando temas interdisciplinares, legitimando a voz dos estudantes como sujeitos nesse processo de ensino e aprendizagem e tornando a matemática divertida, curiosa e prazerosa, bem ao estilo malbatahanico. / This study, of qualitative nature, aims to contribute to the contextualization of mathematics and history of mathematics education in the teaching and learning of this science from didactic and pedagogical proposals inspired by the teacher's speech Júlio Cesar de Mello e Souza the Malba Tahan the primary source Al-Karismi (1946-1951). The research, on the one hand, proposes a study that source and secondly, a dialogue with educational possibilities for teaching mathematics in elementary school, involving the History of Mathematics Education in an interdisciplinary perspective, using the instruments of Sheets Work and Reporting Assessment with students of the 8th grade of elementary school to a public school in the city of Ituiutaba / MG, articulating aspects that favored teaching and interdisciplinary learning in mathematics. Intended to present results of applying six didactic proposals designed to research, with the analysis of the survey axis categories defined a priori by the possible learning situations in the service of the History of Mathematics, related to the speech of students. The study found that students were involved more with practice teacher, listing some of the terms tahaniano speech to the knowledge built in the classroom. It is believed that the proposal collaborated to build a research environment conducive to the mathematical thinking, its relations with the socio-cultural context of the students and the use of history as a resource that guided and promoted the understanding of subject content, tangential interdisciplinary themes, legitimizing the voice of students as subjects members in the process of teaching and learning and making maths fun, curious and pleasant, in malbatahanico style of being. / Dissertação (Mestrado)

Master's thesis in all free sections deals with processing colour matter, its possibilities of application in artwork and specifically focusing on gestural and procedual artwork. At first this question is being analyzed from the theoretical point of view, when the thesis is devoted to an overview of selected artists and in their artwork they provide examples of various innovative ways of working with color. Subsequently this gained knowledge is applied in the educational process, where this topic was connected with defined intentions and objectives in the implementation of art assigments. They were held in an art education field teaching practice in primary school, high school and in a private primary art school. The results and data from this practice have been used in a research probe which works with analysis, open coding and conceptual maps. In the conclusion, its findings are summarized in a interpretive report. The thesis also includes author's artwork, which fulfills its illustrative function and personal expression to the topic. It includes both theoretical aspects as well as some knowledge of didactics. The artwork is aswell conceived as self-verifying of non-traditional techniques and even own point of view of the world.

František Urban (1868-1919) devoted himself mainly to religious painting, the majority of his production was commissioned by the Church. Among these, the least attention has been dedicated to his stained glass designs, with the exception of his most famous complex in the Cathedral of St Barbara in Kutná Hora. However, these designs were held in high regard among the commissioners and Urban drew them for almost twenty churches and chapels. The supreme phase of his production was caught and can be now accessed in a representative publication of his designs for churches, published 1907-1909 in two parts. Urban's style has been classified as Art Nouveau; it is, however, only a simplistic description. Urban used older elements and composition schemes, brought by the Nazarenes at the beginning of 19th century. These he repurposed for the Art Noveau style, using the typical flatness and delicate colouring, idealization, ornamental elements in the fashion of that time, and most of all the then so popular folklore motifs. Urban's wife, Marie Urbanová- Zahradnická, contributed to some of the ornamental elements. This thesis attempts to assemble Urban's stained glass complexes and the knowledge about them, and to put them into the context of other painters who created their stained glass designs in a similar...

My diploma work is focused on topic of environmental responsibility, priviledge of mobility, nomadism, borders and dreaming of utopic un/realities. In site-specific instalation I combine sound, video, painting and text.

Mural paintings in the urban environment in 16th and beginning of 17th century has been rather an ignored topic, however its artistic interpretation and iconographic concept says a lot about the life of residents during Renaissance. The art phenomenon in this work was studied on the borderland between Bohemia and Moravia, currently the place of Havlíčkův Brod, Pelhřimov and Jihlava districts. At the same time, this division facilitated systematic research and listing of surviving paintings. First, the study focuses on the summary of a colourful historical situation in the given place and religious affairs related in particular, but not only to the New Utraquism and Lutheranism which followed up local Utraquist foundations from the Hussite Era. One of the aims of the work is to study the relationship between religion and artistic or iconographic interpretation of paintings. Selected artistic sources related in particular to the graphic works of that time play also important role. This is why other chapters are dedicated to the study of the theory of art of mural paintings, urban houses abroad and in the concerned location, study of sacral interiors within the context of the Saxon environment, and the last chapter deals with the thematic and iconographic study of collected paintings. The results...
