Get Networking! —
Get Working 2012
As you put the finishing touches on your latest design assignment, or psyche yourself in commencement of your next big project, have you seriously stopped to think what's next for you? Do you see yourself becoming just a designer, churning out "mail-ordered" designs that don't reflect your artistic vision, or can you envisage yourself perched on a high-backed leather chair with the words "Creative Director" engraved on the polished marble plaque propped proudly on your desk?
​
If the latter's you, then vital key to your dreams lies in your ability to network and mingle with the right crowd, and that's just what this networking training session will equip you with!
​
In cooperation with AIESEC, the largest student organization in the world, this workshop will enlighten you further on:
-
The importance of networking
-
Building confidence for networking
-
Breaking Steroetypes

Business Etiquette

​
So, for all you aspiring creative directors, free up your 7th August, and postpone that dinner date because this workshop at 7pm might just be the gateway to your dreams!

The fantastical worlds
of Harry Potter and Andy Warhol
30th June 2012
ArtScience Museum
SGD $13 per pax
​
Why ogle at Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe on your TV or computer screens when you can get to walk in their footsteps and see their magical world in their very eyes? Afterall, isn't love about understanding the other party as best you could? This multi-award winning film now comes to life at the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands, where you can get up-close to hundreds of authentic costumes and props from all eight Harry Potter films. Step into Hogwarts such as the Gryffindor common room, Hagrid's hut, and the Great Hall, or even pull a Mandrake from its pot, toss a Quaffle in the Quidditch area and soak in the sheer awesomeness of cetaurs, Buckbeak the Hippogriff and a giant Acromantula spider in the Forbidden Forest.
​
For those of you whose brows crease together at the name "Harry Potter", despair not! We have a treat installed for you as well, in the form of pop artist Andy Warholl. Encounter over 260 paintings, drawings, sculptures, film and video from this great legend. Peer into Andy Warhol's Silver Factory (his studio in New York) recreated. Play up your childish side with a special display for children, where you get to perceive his artworks in a child's lenses. Be inspired by his iconic works like Campbell's Soup Can (1961), Silver Liz (1963), Time Capsule 51 (1970's), The Last Supper (1986) and famous Self-Portraits.
