Several students had a productive time in quarantine as Mapúa University on April 22-24 conducted several free web-based seminars or webinars on graphic design appreciation, motion graphics, and multimedia video.
Organized by the Mapúa University School of Media Studies (SMS), a total of 168 participants joined the free webinars which featured resource speakers including visual artist Rai Cruz and professional illustrator Meneer Marcelo for graphic design appreciation; graphic artist Bryan Ocampo for motion graphics; and professional videographer Franco Amian for the multimedia video webinar.
According to Mapúa SMS Dean Benigno Agapito Jr., the school is also planning to conduct an online film forum.
Agapito said the proposed forum will focus on film screening, with film talk and discussion of narrative film, documentary films, and experimental films. Respected filmmakers will conduct the talk and discussion.
“This is also free as SMS response to the pandemic to make the ‘stay home’ experience of our kababayans more productive,” he added.
