The workshop will be devoted to creating
animated versions of selected prints by the
Japanese painter and woodcut artist Ando
Hiroshige (1797–1858). Students under the
supervision of professors Edyta Adamczak,
Yelyzaveta Pysmak and Jakub Karpoluk
will create animations that will become the
basis for large–scale immersive installations
(animated pictures) that will be presented
during the Hiroshige Educational exhibition,
which will be opened at the Manggha
Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in
Krakow, April 2024.
The Animating Hiroshige project results
from cooperation between PJAIT and the
Manggha Museum. Its goal is to create
audiovisual installations that will familiarize
viewers with the work of one of the most
important Japanese artists related to
ukiyoe woodblock printing. The workshop
is intended for students interested in
Japanese art and animation. It plans
to create both animated films using
conventional techniques and animation
based on AI tools.
