From February 16 to 20, AANT opened its classrooms and laboratories to two leading local schools: Liceo Artistico Giulio Carlo Argan and IIS Galileo Galilei. The initiative unfolded in two dedicated sessions and involved a total of 39 students in a 20-hour immersive learning experience focused on Graphic Design and Videomaking.
For Liceo Artistico Argan, 18 fourth-year students from the Fine Arts program were guided through the development of a visual communication project connected to the cultural event “Più libri, più liberi.” During four hours of daily lessons, participants explored every stage of the creative process: from the development of the visual concept to the creation of illustrations, culminating in the typographic composition of the poster. This comprehensive path combined design thinking and technical skills, with professional use of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The objective was not only to produce a graphic outcome, but to understand the structure of a design project, the dynamics of cultural communication, and the importance of visual coherence.
At the same time, 21 third-year students from the Graphics and Communication program at IIS Galilei took part in a workshop dedicated to audiovisual languages. The laboratory introduced students to the world of videomaking through a structured, hands-on experience: narrative concept development and scriptwriting, storyboard creation, directing and filming exercises, and final editing using Adobe Premiere. The final result was an original audiovisual spot, developed through collaborative work that allowed students to engage with the real dynamics of video production, experiencing first-hand the interaction between creativity, technical skills, and on-set organization.
This initiative is part of AANT’s ongoing collaboration with upper secondary schools, aimed at offering immersive and career-oriented educational experiences in the fields of visual arts, design, and digital technologies. Through structured laboratory activities, the Academy promotes active learning based on practice, experimentation, and direct engagement with professional tools and methodologies.
