4-Day | Complete Course
-
This four-day course emphasizes establishing logical relationships between images and developing a cohesive, small-scale experimental photography series. Students typically complete 4–5 interconnected cyanotype works.
1-Day | Introductory Experience
-
This one-day session focuses on experiencing the full cyanotype process and understanding the relationship between light and materials, without emphasizing complex compositions or series development. Students typically complete 1–2 cyanotype works.
Important Information for Parents
This course involves photosensitive materials. Students with chemical allergies, sensitive skin, or sensitivity to odors or fine particles are not recommended to enroll. Please inform the center in advance for assessment.
Experimental Photography & Cyanotype Photo
The course guides students from creating individual images to developing series-based thinking, with the option to expand works into experimental installations.
Experimental photography has clear educational and artistic value. International art schools and high-level art competitions increasingly value students’ independent thinking, project-based awareness, and depth of understanding of their chosen medium. Experimental photography works are particularly effective in demonstrating a student’s creative process and artistic maturity within a portfolio, and are highly beneficial for applications in photography, contemporary art, design, and interdisciplinary fields.
The Seed of Fireworks
Colored Paper Pulp Painting & Stop-Motion Animation
Stop-motion animation is created by moving objects slightly and photographing them frame by frame to create the illusion of motion. The process helps students understand time, rhythm, and movement while building patience and focus.
