For the last few years, Architecture students have taken part in plein-air painting workshop in scenic Władysławowo in early September. An exhibition of the artwork produced there by the students and faculty of TUL's Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning opened in early January. The paintings depict a broad spectrum of seascapes, representations of nature, portrayals of the local architecture and the fishing harbor.

Students, workshop facilitators and members of TUL staff gathered in the exhibition space of Building B16. The opening was graced with the presence of the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs, Witold Pawlowski, TUL prof.

The works presented at the exhibition were created under the guidance of prof. Gabriel Kołat, prof. Marek Janiak, dr Agata Wereszczyńska, and senior photography technician Iwona Bartczak.

During the workshop, which usually spans just over a week, students learn to observe nature and develop their ability to interpret the experience of such observation into a coherent painted statement, study the interplay of ever-shifting natural light and the effect it has on the feel of their surroundings. They are encouraged to use varied painting techniques and experiment with new forms of artistic expression, which inspires their creativity and develops their ability to perceive reality in a more sensitive and mindful way. They also advance their competence in harnessing diverse means of expression and purposeful, informed, and effortless use of color in their design work.
