We looked at how different artists (contemporary and traditional) use paper as art material. We experiment with methods such as Papier-mâché, drawing, automatic painting, book making, sculpture, installation, animation, and performance.
Topic 2
Photo-graphy
We looked at how
different artists (contemporary and traditional) use photographic methods, such as conventional digital photography, prints,
alternative photography, installation, film, photo books, internet art,
performance to camera, photojournalism, and architecture.
Based on artist Erwin Wurm’s performance to camera practice: 'One Minute Sculptures' (1997), students used digital camera to creat their own interpretation of ‘One Minute Sculptures’.
Topic 3
Role-playing & Fiction

By learning about the
Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa’s use of heteronym in his writing, we looked at how different
artists use role-playing and fictioning as a playful method to make art.
We examined different forms, such as puppetry,
science fiction, theatre, sculpture, dance, art and activism, sculpture,
installation, performance and LARP (live action role play). Students created their own ficitonal characters and presented in the class.
Topic 4
Sound
ing
We looked at how
artists use sound as material in their practices. Students are introduced to different artistic process, such as DIY sound instrument, electronic music making, experimental sound
composition and soundscape design.
Students created their own DIY instruments from found materials, presented them in the class, and created sound performances as small groups.

photographic printing method.
Students also created their own artwork using cyanotype photographic method.
