MILK FROG UNIVERSITY / SCHOOL PROFILE01 / OUR SCHOOL
Learning starts with curiosity.
Our school explores how people understand one another. We begin with everyday campus life: a library card, an unfinished sentence, or a Milk Frog’s almost imperceptible change of expression can become the beginning of a project.
Reading and conversation meet words and images, individual practice and shared making. Learn to explain your choices and understand other perspectives, then turn a promising idea into something another person will want to spend time with.
Pay attention to what you feel, and how you express it. Even a quiet voice deserves to be heard.
02 / LEARNING PATH
From a small question to a finished project.
Observe · Practise · Create together
-
BEGIN / OBSERVE
Notice before you make
Keep a campus notebook. Reading, sketching and close observation help you gather materials and questions of your own.
-
EXPLORE / PRACTISE
Give an idea a shape
Start with a short text, a poster or a four-frame story. Compare approaches, share feedback and revise your work.
-
CREATE / SHARE
Let the work meet others
Develop a campus brief into a complete proposal, explain your creative choices and share it with the campus editors.
03 / COURSE CATALOGUE
Make room for what interests you.
4 themed courses · Explore at your own pace
Visual Communication
Study campus posters and signs to explore type, colour, spacing and hierarchy. Make two versions of the same announcement, explaining who will read it and what they should notice first.
Your projectA campus event poster with a page of design notes.
Four Frames of Milk Frog Life
Discover how expressions, actions and dialogue work together. Turn a small classroom incident into a four-frame story with a beginning, a turn and an ending, practising kind and precise humour.
Your projectA four-frame Milk Frog story with character dialogue.
Giving Feelings a Form
Use line, rhythm, shape and colour to express a feeling that is difficult to name. Compare three rounds of small studies and document your choices, making an abstract process open to discussion.
Your projectThree visual studies and a short creative journal.
Culture in Shared Spaces
Plan a small story exhibition for a shared campus space. Practise interview planning, editing and display sequencing, respecting the storyteller while giving different readers a way into the work.
Your projectA small exhibition proposal with three display labels.
