workshop

You don't know what you don't know.

Every single day, our mind is being assaulted, flooded, tricked and manipulated by hundreds upon thousands of visual stimuli. Subtly, it influences our decision-making, behavioural response, and even our relationships with other people. Would you rather be led like a sheep, or be a visual shepherd, equipped with skills to lead and gain a competitive edge over the rest of your peers?

 

Not restricted to only the creative industry, visual literacy arms any individual in any scope of work with the necessary tools and skills to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations.

GLOBAL

From overseas trips in New York, camps, to competitions  in South Korea and advertising awards competition in Thailand, we have the students’ expansion of their creative minds at heart and have a students' overseas study trip plan annually.

NO EXAMS

This is why we only have projects to allow our students to constantly hone their skills by hands-on practises and to create an impressive portfolio that will bring them to places.
