This week, our design expert Chiara will propose a series of stimulating creative exercises to guide students in their journey towards realising their creative projects. These exercises are designed by industry experts and aim to develop not only a final product, but also the method, techniques, and creative mindset. During this session, you will play the game ‘Play 40’.
Play 40 is a game designed to explore and generate new ideas. It consists of two decks of 40 cards each. One deck features an image on one side and a word on the other, while the other deck displays the same word on one side and a brief comment, suggestion, or perspective to explore on the other. These cards are designed to stimulate the association of images, words, and concepts, diverging from traditional games based on risk and calculation.
The game was devised by the Japanese designer Isao Hosoe, who believed that during play, humans could fully express their intelligence. Through Play 40, mutual interests are created, affinities or differences in tastes are discovered, and relationships between players are established, giving rise to a kind of playful community.
The goal of playing with Play 40 is to understand which ideas are relevant, how they connect, and which ones are crucial for achieving common goals, emphasizing the quality of ideas and their relationships rather than their quantity."
Hosted by Chiara.

About the Creative Studio Sessions
The Creative Studio Sessions are an open invitation to get creative without pressure or expectation. Join our studio experts every weekday evening for a free-wheeling session focusing on a different artistic discipline and theme. These sessions are not art classes, but rather open-ended, dedicated studio time for students to explore concepts, techniques, or creative prompts as set by our studio experts. No matter your skill level, everyone is invited to join. Come if you are looking for new inspiration and ideas, or to try out a new skill. Your creativity is like muscle, it needs a workout!
You are also welcome to work independently in the creative studio during these hours if you do not wish to participate in the Creative Studio Sessions.
