We will invite Mr. Kunihisa Ito to hold a workshop on hand-drawn sketching.
The seminar that forms the first part will look at "EyesOn Design," which has been attracting a great deal of attention in recent years. Held annually in Detroit, "EyesOn Design" is an event especially for automotive design, and industry experts hold the uniquely designed vehicles it features in very high regard. It sets itself apart from other auto shows by focusing in particular on the artistic and innovative aspects of automotive design. It is also a design event that contributes to charitable activities--for example, the proceeds are donated to support for the visually impaired.
In the second part, Kunihisa Ito will hold a design workshop based on hand-drawn ideas and sketching. This will be a hands-on workshop aimed at improving the skills of deepening and visualizing ideas by actually putting them into practice using paper, pens, and markers. It will be a precious opportunity to learn practical skills while receiving direct guidance from Mr. Ito.We really hope you will come along.
