The ICC Kids Program 2009 is pleased to hold "playful learning," under the supervision of Mr. UEDA Nobuyuki (Professor, Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts and Director, neomuseum) who specializes in practical studies in learning environment design and multimedia education.
With the exhibition space itself positioned as a learning medium to help develop the sensitivity to enjoy "learning," the theme of this exhibition is the "creative learning process" whereby participants generate their own ideas and interpretations. This is where an experimental learning with an exhibition of media art can be experienced as workshops by everyone from children to adults, all within a specially-designed learning environment.
We hope that each of you will become an artist, a designer, and a performer in this exhibition and share in the "learning" that is inherent in all playful and creative experiences. Profile of Supervisor: UEDA Nobuyuki
