Abstract: The "Visual Thinking through Lenses of Transformation" workshop aims to cultivate the student's aptitude for perceptually enhancing their comprehension of constructing the imagery, imagination, and the constant transformations around the visuality. 

Through revolving around the lenses of transformation, students will analyze spatial relationships, people, objects, interactions and environmental elements around their immediate surroundings, in order to comprehend how the change in constituent parts contributes to the overall transformation of the whole and the emergence of the ‘new’, whether in visual or conceptual form. This approach to visual thinking is broadly applicable across multiple contexts, providing a versatile tool for creative exploration and inventing the new.
