Art toy design experience

Have you heard about our education programs? Trick Eye Museum has some educational program for all ages! One of the program is "Art toy design experience". 

When you come visit us, cute porcelain toy named Trinny and Eyenny will welcome you at ticket booth. These are couples of Trinnys and Eyennys decorated in traditional clothing of different country. To have this experience with your loved ones, the price of this experience is originally 8,000 KRW, but we offer it as 5,000 KRW for our visitors! 

Art toys are hidden all over the museum! Isn't it cute how Trinny and Eyenny are turned into different famous characters? Then let's make and design some my own art toy!

Choose a porcelain toy first: you can choose either Trinny (male toy) or Eyenny (female toy). I personally like Trinny because Trinny doesn't have hair lines on head section :P

Then you use color markers to draw on the porcelain toy. But what if you don't have talents on art? Don't worry! We have many toy design samples which is easy to draw with, and correction fluid is also offered so it's easy to make changes with cotton buds. 

So there is infinite ways to transform pure-white Trinny and Eyenny! You may make these with your children and take it as souvenirs or how about draw your loved one's face on it? This experience is for all ages, so try it out when you're at Trick Eye Museum and have one and only toy just for you :)

Hongik University

Hongdae is a short form of Hongik University (Hongik Daehakgyo, 홍익대학교), but it seemed people comes this "Hongdae" area but never plan to visit the actual campus. Hongik University is famous for their art department, and I believe their department is one of top in Korea. Maybe because of that, Hongik University has a charming campus especially with full of artistic senses. 

In of Hongik University, there's a little lake (probably pond maybe) inside the thicket in the center of campus. You can see beautiful flowers during spring, fresh and cool breeze in the ticket during summer, autumn leaves during fall, and peaceful snow scenery during winter. 

This is Hongik University's main entrance called "Hong moon gwan" which is known for largest campus main entrance in the world. It is included with different types of restaurants, art supply store, photo studio, convenient store, etc. Also galleries with exhibitions and theaters are ready for you to get in touch with all forms of art!  

Because of it's with Korean famous art department, many art works are exhibited regularly. It feels very pleasant by encountering these unique and fresh art works as you walk around the campus. 

The campus is connected with Wawusan (와우산, Mt. Wawu), so you can also follow the trail of Wawusan. How about taking a walk with your loved one in Hongik University and Wawusan? And don't forget that Trick Eye Museum is always waiting for you when you're in this area :)
