A Bit About Me
Drawing and storytelling are the origins of human culture, and all creativity stems from them. As the AI era unfolds, how can we ensure that children are not replaced by artificial intelligence in the future? Creativity is the key distinction between humans and machines, and it is crucial to nurture the boundless creativity in children. Picture book creation, which combines drawing and storytelling, is an ideal way to spark creativity. We have specially invited picture book art and children's education expert, Mr. Wu Di, to lead this course and guide children into a world filled with creativity and imagination.
The MK2024 Holiday Children's Picture Book Creation Camp, meticulously organized by MKF, features Mr. Wu Di as the instructor, aiming to provide children with a platform to foster creative thinking and artistic expression. Through professional guidance, children will learn how to conceptualize, create, and complete their own picture books, fully unleashing their imagination and storytelling abilities. They will experience the joy of creation while crafting their own unique works. After the camp, if children wish to continue with our long-term courses, outstanding works will be produced by MKF and officially published by Rainbow Dragon Publishing.
绘画和讲故事是人类文化的起源，所有的创造力都源于此。随着AI时代的来临，如何确保孩子们在未来不被人工智能所取代？创造力是人类与机器最大的区别，而激发孩子们的无限创造力显得尤为重要。绘本创作将绘画与故事讲述完美结合，是启发创造力的理想途径。我们特别邀请了绘本艺术与儿童教育专家吴棣先生担任本次课程的艺术指导，带领孩子们进入一个充满创意与想象的绘本世界。
MK2024假期儿童绘本创作营由MKF精心策划，吴棣老师亲自授课，旨在为孩子们提供一个激发创意思维和表达艺术的平台。在这里，孩子们将通过专业指导，学习如何构思、创作并完成属于自己的绘本，充分发挥他们的想象力和叙事能力，体验创作的乐趣并打造自己的独特作品。假期营结束后，若孩子们有兴趣继续参加我们的长期课程，优秀的作品将由MKF出品，并由彩虹龙出版社正式出版。。
