On December 4th 2023 we launched our very first Playgrounds Academy – an intensive 8-weeks course focussed on enhancing specific sets of skills. Our first guest lecturer was concept artist and art director Jort van Welbergen. His Magic Box Masterclass was an essential course on everything hard surface. Students learnt multiple approaches to working on any hard surface problem, practiced observing the world around them and integrating those observations effectively in their work.
During The Art Department Eindhoven, close to the Sketching Area, you can explore some of the designs produced throughout this course, on the dedicated Academy screen. Featuring works by: Benjamin Cisic, Daud Thenu, Jasmijn Simonis, Ozan Ozkusaksiz, Philipp Hohnel and Richard Man.
As more PLGR Academy course are expected to start in the fall of 2024, it‘s a great opportunity to get to know what types of works can result following our masterclasses!
