The theoretical and practical part is dealing with the detail of a czech wall painting with the motif of the Virgin Mary from the peak era of the Middle Ages. The theoretical part introduces the marian theme. It describes its iconography, meaning in art and closely specifies the division of images according to devotional themes. The next part is focused on the description and analysis of the motif of the Virgin Mary the Protector, which is depicted on wall painting in a cloister of the Church of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in České Budějovice. In the practical part is fundamental creation of the relief as a haptic aid for the visually impaired. Created reliefs are polychrome reconstruction of the wall paintings of the above-mentioned motif. The work is supplemented by other materials, implementation procedure, sketches and photo documentation.

Thus , based on the assumption that reading literary texts in mathematics classes can instigate the imagination nurture the production of meaning not only to mathematics in everyday situations as experienced by students . Therefore , if selected for this study the work of Malba Tahan . It is driven by the following research question : what are the meanings mathematicians that can be produced by students of 8th and 9th grades of elementary school , a public school in the city of São Carlos , the state of São Paulo , from reading the stories of the book " the Man who Counted ?" . It is based primarily on studies of Lev Vygotsky , for the study of the production of meaning and meaning from the word , Bento de Jesus Caraga and George Ifrah , for the production of meanings to mathematical content through the history of mathematics . And is qualitative . Data were built in ten encounters were videotaped and analysis category was defined retrospectively . The analysis was made from a unit of meaning , descriptive - analytical nature of the role of the written and spoken word in the production of meanings for the mathematical content . As a result one can point out that the reading of literary texts in mathematics classes exceed the production of meaning in mathematics , arousing sense to everyday practices through relationships made between school subjects , not just math , and life . It was also possible to detect the difficulty of specific symbolic representation of mathematics especially in situations requiring a fractional representation of the situation , allowing us to ask: to what extent the way we teach mathematics with its own representation is being appropriated by the student as a way of interpreting the world ? / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a produção de sentidos e significados que foram explicitadas por estudantes das séries finais do Ensino Fundamental, enquanto liam o livro: O homem que Calculava . Dessa forma, parte do pressuposto que a leitura de textos literários em aulas de Matemática pode instigar a imaginação oportunizar a produção de sentidos não só à matemática como em situações cotidianas experimentadas pelos estudantes. Para tanto, se escolheu para este estudo a obra de Malba Tahan. É conduzida pela seguinte questão de investigação: quais são os sentidos e significados matemáticos que podem ser produzidos por estudantes do 8º e 9º anos do Ensino Fundamental, de uma escola pública estadual da cidade de São Carlos, interior do Estado de São Paulo, a partir da leitura das estórias do livro O Homem que Calculava ?. Fundamenta-se basicamente nos estudos de: Lev Vygotsky, para o estudo sobre a produção de sentido e significado a partir da palavra, Bento de Jesus Caraça e George Ifrah, para a da produção de sentidos e significados aos conteúdos matemáticos através da história da matemática. E tem caráter qualitativo. Os dados foram construídos em dez encontros que foram filmados e a categoria de análise foi definida a posteriori. A análise foi feita a partir de uma unidade de significado, de natureza analítico-descritivas o papel da palavra escrita e falada na produção de sentidos e significados para os conteúdos matemáticos. Como resultado pode-se pontuar que a leitura de textos literários em aulas de matemática pode ultrapassar a produção de sentido para a matemática, suscitando sentido para práticas cotidianas através das relações feitas entre os conteúdos escolares, não só matemáticos, e a vida. Também foi possível detectar a dificuldade da representação simbólica específica da matemática principalmente nas situações que requeriam a representação fracionária da situação, nos permitindo questionar: até que ponto a forma como se ensina matemática com a sua representação própria está sendo apropriada pelo estudante como forma de interpretar o mundo?

In this theoretic-practically focused diploma thesis I deal with the issue of an abandoned site and its potencial for the art creation itself. Firs I attempt to foreshow the modern aspects of the art in relation to the urban outskirts creation. I focus on the distinct graffiti phenomenon an its role within the cultural developement of the modern society. In connection with forementioned I aspire to define the phenomenon of site and space. Furthermore I adress the importance of the outskirts with reference to the environmental psychology. Afterwards I carry through a critical reflexion of the theoretical knowledge fragments and apply new findings while resolving the creative task. In the practical part of this thesis I create triptych of wall paintings in the environs of an urban outskirts on the topic of an abandoned site and consequently I carry out their explication.

Children's book publishing was a part of the state-controlled system after 1945 and several movements can be recognised within it. The development and illustration requirements, changing during the 1950s and 1960s, can be mostly inferred from contemporary literature by writers Stehlíková and Holešovský, the Zlatý máj magazine or submissions to the 1972 Brno symposium exploring the relationship between literary text and its visual art interpretation. After outlining the principal relationships, this work focuses on a more detailed exploration of the illustrations by Mirko Hanák, whose work originated during the 1950s and 1960s before being terminated by a premature death in 1971. Hanák freed himself of the compulsory realism during the 1950s and chose a path towards symbolism, which helped him achieve a respected creative status in the 1960s. Hanák's talents chiefly manifested themselves in his wildlife illustrations for adventure books, where he employed the watercolour technique. He took inspiration from Chinese ink painting, with which he became familiarised thanks to the many exhibitions taking place in the context of the contemporary cultural exchange between Czechoslovakia and the People's Republic of China. Both working with the originals of Hanák's illustrations and a comparison between individual...

This diploma thesis deals with industrial landscape in the visual arts in terms of educational, historical and theoretical viewpoints. In the theoretical part, the author deals with the interpretation of various terms that are related to this industrial issue. At the same time she outlines the development of the industrial landscape, exploration of relationships and attitudes, mostly among the younger generation, to these complexes, and deals with this issue from the aspect of art, such as suggestions or industrial materials. Very interesting and more recent phenomenon is the activity called Urbex, whose interpretation, the world and Czech leaders and its development is briefly explained. Concurrently, this activity is supplemented by visual arts, by the theme of industrial buildings, by industrial material, by memories, by feelings and relation to this landscape of the author of the thesis. In the didactic part, which is crucial to this diploma thesis, the author has developed five preparations for units of teaching in art lessons, where she focused both the use of industrial materials and this theme . Her aim was to acquaint students with these issues and possibilities of working with these materials. Four preparations, which were taught in elementary school in Vodickova, Prague 1, were fine...

The mural paintings in Karlštejn castle in the light of the restoration effects This thesis focuses on the mural paintings located in Karlštejn castle. These mural paintings form a complex iconography of the entire castle, which weaves together all the sacred spaces of the castle, culminating in the Chapel in the Great Tower. The thesis deals with the mural paintings situated in two chapels in the first floor of the Imperial palace, so-called the Hall of Ancestors, where the genealogy of Charles IV. originally decorated this hall, the Church of the Virgin Mary and the Chapel of Saint Catherine inside the Marian Tower, on the walls of the staircase and in the Chapel of the Holy Cross, inside the Great Tower, not only in the light of the restoration effects, which may have affected and influenced the original appearance. Tracking of the origin of the re- paintings, followed by an iconographical analysis, draws from the restoration reports and archives connected with the last major reconstruction of the castle, which was led from Vienna by architects Fridrich Schmidt and Josef Mocker. I analyse their iconography and authorship, and evaluate the restoration efforts carried out in the last centuries. Key words: Middle Ages, mural paintings, 14th century, Karlštejn castle, Chapel of the Holly Cross, Master...

The attention of interest are also biblical scenes connected with the Nativity of Chist or folk celebrations of Christian feats during the winter. The purpose of this work is to reflect the importance of winter landscape with reference to the life of a common inhabitants taking into account the socio-historical context of the Netherlands 16th-17th...

The main topic of this diploma thesis resides in the comparison of the expressionist painting and the existential literature in connection with the motif of screaming. Despite the temporal and geographical distance of the two artistic movements (we are focused more profoundly in the German and Austrian expressionist painting, while the main literary work of this thesis, the existential novel The Fall comes from the great mind of a French writer, Albert Camus), the research aspires to prove the interconnection of the two movements and their common tendencies, based on the analyses of chosen themes, motifs, technics, and structure. We propose the motif of screaming as the main part of the comparison, as it constitutes an essential axis of the occidental art, as well as the crucial contact point between Expressionism and Existentialism. In spite of the bountifulness of the various interpretations this motif offers, we have chosen only selected ideas and concepts. As far as the formal structure is concerned, the work is divided into three chapters, where the first two are focused on the origins, a brief characterization of the main point of the two esthetics. Furthermore, they describe their related counterparts of the visual arts and literature (the Expressionist literature and Existential painting...
