OPEN CAMPUS

“Innovation through Concept Research”

Curiosity and creativity are the driving forces behind new ideas.
In this trial lesson, you will experience the process of generating fresh concepts — starting from your own passions, obsessions, and inspirations, and developing them through research and experimentation.
Throughout the session, you will explore the CSTS principles (Color, Shape, Texture, Scale) to organize sensory inspiration into visual form, sharpening your observation and composition skills, which form the foundation of design.
Through activities such as mind mapping, collage making, and observation sessions , you’ll discover the joy of transforming ideas into tangible visual expressions.
By the end of the class, you will complete a mini concept book that reflects your unique sensibility and story.
