The importance of medium in art and architecture

Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2018, Vol 22, Issue 2

Abstract

The article in a subjective and at the same time synthetic way presents a point of view on several key problems related to the concept of creativity in relation to the medium understood as a material and the matter of a work of art. It contains the reflections and conclusions gained thanks to the combination of didactic activity at the Faculty of Architecture Wrocław University of Science and Technology with the independent artistic activity in the field of painting and sculpture. The basic assumption and purpose of the article is to emphasize the material factor in the artistic work and to demonstrate the great importance of the creativity as a process that has universal features for activities related to design. In the context of the discussed problems, fragments of aesthetic thought, selected phenomena in the area of art history and specific examples of own works as well as student works created during the sculpture classes at the Faculty of Architecture are quoted here.
