WHY Natural light?
WHY THIS SUMMER CAMP？
When applying for art study abroad in overseas art schools, almost every student will experience three summer vacations from high school to college. In these three vacations, foreign students will make full use of these three vacations as the best time to "investigate art colleges", "learn professional knowledge outside books", and "develop the Shunqing plan for target colleges".
Participate in summer school/courses, make a comprehensive plan for undergraduate application through the continuous deepening and superposition of each summer course, and make full use of these three time nodes to judge school selection, and prepare your own application for undergraduate:
Step 1 - Participate in Summer Camp of American Art Academy
Step 2 - Summer courses in British art schools
Step 3 - You can choose whether to participate in the summer school of other national art colleges or comprehensive universities
Step 4 - By comparing British and American art schools and comprehensive universities, choose the appropriate schools and majors
Compared with domestic art colleges and universities at undergraduate level, ordinary high schools, art high schools, and even international high schools, there are few opportunities for students to participate in various summer camps. Before applying for art colleges and universities, students have almost zero awareness of the school!
Although most Art study institutions The study tour program will be launched from time to time. However, for high school students and their parents who are preparing to apply, such programs are often accompanied by uncertainties: safety, accommodation, value, language, physical health, time, visas, etc. These problems often become problems and stumbling blocks for students and parents.
However, this interdisciplinary portfolio coaching is different from any overseas Pre College Summer Course! The natural light brings the overseas summer experience to China. More than nine college admissions officers, professors and artists from Britain and the United States are invited to bring this super value Summer Camp. It not only saves money and time costs, but also solves the multi-level concerns of students and parents. The courses connect with overseas art studies, directly correspond to the professional courses of overseas art schools, and solve the problem of zero understanding and zero cognition before entering the school. The output can be put into the works collection as an independent work!
From Foundation to Course, transition project, workshop, picture, and exclusive Portfolio Review!

The non-traditional and divergent innovative materials, as well as the breakthrough sculpture technology, are used to make a wearable dress.

With the concept of experimental and secondary sculpture, students' thinking and creation are stimulated. The curriculum drives students' creation and exploration. Sculpture is no longer the traditional kneading and assembly, clothing is no longer the traditional sewing and weaving, and performance is no longer the original definition of behavior.
The collision of more than three art forms brings a breakthrough creative experience of day 3 - day 4. This is a real presentation of brainstorming, as well as an interdisciplinary practice and landing.

This time, we will spend 2 days to explore the relationship between line and space, which will further stimulate your design potential on space. On the first day, students will learn about the characteristics of materials and creation possibilities through cognitive learning of four materials, and apply these four materials to the design and practical creation of "line".
On the second day, students will continue to deepen their creative concepts, use deeper concepts and creative meanings, and turn "lines" into "space works" in the real sense that can be presented in space. Combine western painting, creative materials and mixed media to build a substantive project.

Summer Camp 3：Spatial Dynamics
RISD Foundation Year
One of the three themes - Spatial Dynamics
No need to go to school or study abroad
RISD current professor in natural light
Directly bring you real class
Who says sculpture is mud? Who said that building space can only be used? When sculpture encounters space, structure, materials, residence, space and time, what kind of interesting artistic effect will be produced when these terms are combined with each other?
One exploration of non-traditional sculpture materials, one reinterpretation of space that breaks through conceptual cognition, one experience that art and design collide to create wonderful sparks, one inspiration that breaks through traditional cognition, and you can redefine sculpture and space!
Summer Camp Schedule
DAY 1/
Course content
step 1
Lecture-
Re "Introduction" to Sculpture
Classroom presentation-
Make a sculpture out of the found material. Use your imagination to create any work! Challenge the sense of space, materials and technical skills
Group comments
step 2
Homework-
Find items that can only be used by one person at a time. For example, chairs, clothes, toilets, pens, keyboards, headphones, tableware, etc. Study how these people interact with objects when they use these objects; How people use them; In the process of use, what changes have taken place in these articles, and whether there is wear, damage, etc; Consider whether these items have been fully utilized... After a series of thinking, make a group of renderings (drawings, schedules, videos, recordings, etc.) to show your thinking results, and be ready to show your thinking success in class the next day.
DAY 2/
Course content
step 1
In groups, show each other the professional content of the previous day, discuss with each other, and have a critique. Based on your own ideas and concepts, and suggestions from classmates, we will upgrade the concept.
Course presentation-
Based on the homework of the previous day, select a research object and redesign it. This time, the selected object needs to be "for two or more people to use at the same time". Recreate this object so that the user/participant must meet the "sharing", "contention" and other relationships.
Thinking about problems-
Do you display/use most of the original items?
Could this primitive usage be practical, absurd, interesting and embarrassing?
Consider the experience meaning of using the object at the physical interaction level
After thinking, will you choose to keep the original use of the object, continue to use the object, or abandon the original use and choose independent innovation?
step 2
Homework-
Continue to complete your sculpture
DAY 3/
Course content
Complete all the contents of this project, conduct a presentation, make comments on each other, and discuss how to improve their works.
