PAINTING (Drawing and Composition) 

2.1 The purpose of the exam from "Painting" subject is to assess the applicant's abilities of volumetric space design and reproduction, creative, performance techniques, and envisages examination requirements for the performance of drawing tasks.

The "Painting" exam is conducted in two stages: 

1st Stage - "Drawing"

073101.00.6 “Architecture” specialty applicants draw plaster heads.
