8/3 — 8/7 GRAPHIC DESIGN SUMMER CAMP

2015 GRAPHIC DESIGN SUMMER CAMP

Course Information:
Are you interested in:
-business, marketing, art, or entrepreneurship?
-gaining an edge when applying to internships in the future?
-adding skills to your resume or college application?
-learning fun, new skills?
In this one-week course, students will learn the basics of graphic design as well as how to use Adobe Illustrator. Why learn graphic design? Learning graphic design opens up doors for future opportunities in many industries, including technology and business. Just from my own personal experience, I was able to obtain a marketing internship at a medical software company in high school because my experience in graphic design translated to creating marketing collateral such as powerpoints and e-books. While students will learn the basic tools to use these programs, they will also learn how to apply this knowledge to create various print and web media. By the end of the week, students will have a mini portfolio of design projects!

学围棋带给我什么?Benefits of Playing Go

Benefits of Playing Go

Daniel Liu

In my personal experience, go has greatly improved my math and logically thinking skills. I made many friends through go tournaments. It has complicated variations which allows the mind to think.

There are many articles online about the importance of learning Go. Different people receive different benefits based on how they play and learn.

http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/lesson/knowledge-e/kono.htm

http://users.eniinternet.com

Go is a marvelous game.

Creativity
       Go is a game in which you create shapes on the board. You are free to play anywhere you like, provided it’s on an intersection.
       Go has a creativity and constructiveness missing from other games whose object is to destroy or conquer.
You can’t make progress in go just by rote memorization or cramming knowledge. Go’s creativity lets you freely express your ideas.
Medical evidence
       It’s usually said that the left side of the human brain handles the functions of calculation, memorization, and logical thought. The right side of the brain is intuitive and perceives shapes and spatial relationships; it also handles judgement from a large-scale perspective.
It’s important to make good use of both sides of the brain, but it seems that there are many predominantly left-brain people.

Go is a game that makes particular use of the right side of the brain. It has already been established medically that Go stimulates the right side of the brain, enhances judgement, and is effective in relieving stress.
Go is also beneficial in preventing senility and strokes and helps in rehabilitation after a stroke.

Communication
       Go is a game that you can enjoy all your life, from childhood to old age. Strangers can immediately become friends through playing a game of Go.

Communication between people in our modern society is lessening, but Go can make a big contribution to communication transcending the family, teachers and pupils, seniors and juniors. That’s because it’s a marvellous game in which differences of age or sex or nationality are irrelevant.

Education of children
       Go helps you to develop concentration and provides practice in judging values by fostering a sense of balance. It is very useful in helping children to develop their character.
       Of course, when you play a game, one side wins and one side loses. You yourself bear the responsibility for evaluating yourself after winning or losing, as you decided the moves you made. The complications of the pleasure or disappointment arising from winning or losing help children to mature and teaches them how to approach life.
       The most important thing is that through Go children have contact with other children and people of different ages and they learn how to treat other people with consideration and gratitude.
       Perhaps that’s why there are schools that have adopted Go not just as a club activity but as a regular subject.
