The aim and task of the Department is to disclose the inner, positive laws on the basis of which esthetic works are formed within every sphere of art and, in connection with the ensuing results, to establish the principles of syn- thetic artistic expression. This task can be reduced to a number of concrete objectives: 1) the study of artistic elements as being the material from which a work of art is formed; 2) the study of construction in creativity as a principle wherein the artistic purpose is embodied; 3) the study of composition in art as a principle whereby the concept of a work of art is constructed. - The Department is to conduct its research in two directions: a) through a cycle of lectures based on an established program and b) through experimen- tal research. We have not pursued experimental research owing to the lack of funds needed for organizing laboratories.

We are developing a cycle of lectures on construction in nature, art, and technology and preparing a series on "Composition." In accordance
