Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with physical, chemical and technological principles used in reproduction of images.
Student will have theoretical knowledge necessary to understand reproduction processes in graphic arts and printing technologies. Absolvents will understand working principles and characteristics of light sources. Students will also understand basic principles of conventional and digital photograph, and principles of image capture and reproduction by different devices. Last, but not least, students will have basic knowledge necessary to colour measurements and colour management.
Prerequisites
math, physics and chemistry at level of secondary school ability to link information

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Before oral examinations, students have to pass a short test. At the oral examination students select by random selection 2 questions. Through the exam, the examiner evaluates knowledge on topic of the course content.
