국민대, 개교 80주년 맞아 융합전시 《The Drawing》 개최

Seoul National University (President: Jeong Seung-ryul) is set to host a fusion exhibition titled "The Drawing" on September 11th, coinciding with the university's 80th anniversary. The exhibition, organized by the Future Automotive Innovation University Project (led by Shin Seong-hwan), brings together students from the university's automotive engineering program and visiting artists from Kyung Hee University's College of Art. The artists collaborate through drawing to connect their diverse disciplines and perspectives.

"The Drawing" has been a part of the university's engineering education since 2017, incorporating drawing into technical training to enhance students' engineering observation skills and spatial awareness. Over the years, the exhibition has evolved into a platform for engineering and art to interact, with students and artists working together.

This year, the exhibition will be staged in two locations. It will open on August 27th at the BODA Gallery of the Incheon Science & Arts Talent School, in conjunction with the school's 10th anniversary celebration. The exhibition will then move to the Kyung Hee University Museum of Art, where it will continue until September 11th.

Professor Im Dong-hun, who has guided the course during its 10-year run, explained that "The Drawing" is not about creating the perfect drawing, but rather about carefully observing the subject and expressing the understood structure and relationships visually. "Over the past 10 years, the exhibition has expanded into a venue for collaboration between various educational institutions, students from different majors, and artists."

Seoul National University, marking its 80th anniversary, has set a vision to be "a university that sets the standard for higher education" and follows the slogan "Make the Rule, Break the Rule." To achieve this, the university has developed a long-term strategy ("KMU VISION 2035: EDGE") and identified eight specialized fields to strengthen the university's competitiveness.

One of these fields is "Design & Content" and "Mobility," which combine practical design and automotive engineering to showcase diverse outcomes leading to a new era in the AI age.
