What is this course's project?

Create your own MicroStory by choosing a simple story to represent in a vector format and by using the experimental methodology that Martin outlines. But it doesn't end here. As an unconventional course, the final objective is to create a collaborative project called The Magic Woods, including the work of as many creatives as possible. Martin Satí takes charge of uniting all the graphics published by students to build this ambitious experimental project.
What's more, if the participation is active, the project can even be taken to an outdoor or urban location. The event would be documented and exhibited in different media showing: the video, the stories, and graphics signed by each student, with the final montage projected on urban land. As you can see, Martin Satí's creativity knows no bounds.

Who is this online course for?
