WHAT IS Kaleidoscope ?

Kaleidoscope project aims to increase cultural interaction and highlight the evolution of digital art by bringing digitalisation and art together. This project aims to transform art, which has been used by humanity throughout history to express emotions and thoughts, in accordance with the requirements of the digital age. The project will involve a total of 21 participants between the ages of 18-25, selected from three different countries. Participants will be divided into groups by considering age and regional diversity, thus it is aimed to prevent possible peer bullying by ensuring cultural diversity.

Phase 1: Online Lectures on Digital Art

The first phase of the Kaleidoscope project consists of several online training modules aimed at teaching the basics of digital art. These modules will help participants to develop their digital skills and prepare for the project. Below are the details of these training modules:
