Independent Studies
"the CA experiment" is an invitation to build a bridge between Egypt and the USA and investigate the connection between the two countries through illustration. The Egyptian Society is in a growing need of functioning well-educated artists, and through CCA, I chose to undertake an intensive training in illustration to be fluent in terms of visual vocabulary, to research, imagine and articulate visual ideas with on-campus courses and to eventually fulfill an artist’s active role in society.
