很多人都追尋美，甚至完美。究竟甚麼是美？甚麼是醜？美與醜是對立的？還是可以混合？在不同時間、地域、民族、階級會有不同的想法嗎？本課程將帶領學員從藝術角度審視美與醜，根據意大利文化大師Umberto Eco （翁巴托 ‧ 艾可）的藝術硏究著作History of Beauty《美的歷史》、 On Ugliness 《醜的歷史》，選取當中最有趣味的章節讓學員認識自古典到當代的藝術，從美（蒙羅麗莎？）與醜（畢加索？）的大師作品中彈出彈入，重新思考和理解美與醜，並參考不同流派的創作元素進行個人藝術創作。本課程涵蓋藝術歷史、藝術名作賞析和創作，好像「出奇蛋」一樣，能同時滿足你三個願望！甚麼是美？甚麼是醜？最出奇之處也許是會反轉你的固有概念。

Advertisements are ubiquitous in today’s world. We see ads everywhere, be it on TV, in newspapers or magazines, in streets, buses, MTR stations, etc. In our culture of rampant consumerism, we are all targets of advertisements which seek to mold our outlooks, our values and habits. It is therefore essential to develop in young people an awareness and understanding of how advertising works. The main objective of this course is to help students acquire the necessary tools to recognize and analyze advertisements and become media savvy and cognizant consumers of information and products. Using real life examples they encounter in their daily lives, the class will learn about the basic elements of advertising such as the target audience, and the various techniques and strategies (both visual and textual) used to appeal to particular audiences. In the decoding of the adverts, students will get to understand not only their various messages, but also, and more importantly, to unravel the values that they sell and the assumptions embedded in the media images. Some of the issues we will examine are: what are the explicit and implicit messages in the ads? Who do they target and why? What values, lifestyles, and points of view are represented in the ads? What techniques and strategies are used to create the messages? In each lesson, students will be given the tasks to analyze the different elements of actual advertisements and present their findings in small group discussions. This course is designed for students who are interested in acquiring strong critical and analytical skills, sharpening their interpretative ability, and engaging in reflective and independent thinking.

帶著既輕鬆又認真的態度，通過電影促進藝術與科學之間的對話。本課程專為對熱愛電影、藝術、文學及喜歡思考的資優學生設計。面對未來的職業和人生的道路，我們需要作出不同的選擇，有時候更會因自己的決定而「懷疑人生」。我們希望通過此課程打破學員面對前路的各種迷思，並以電影作為類似動漫中的「異世界」，讓學員在科學中發現藝術，在藝術中體會科學，進而獲得如同「轉生」般的全新視角。在課程中，我們將欣賞科學家、藝術家及文學家如何以畢生熱情追求學問的浪漫，通過理解與感受他們的激情，探索科學與藝術如何交融。我們珍視資優學生對世界的好奇與關懷，希望他們在成長過程中能保持這顆珍貴與熱切的初心，勇敢為自己選擇更適合的道路。

2025SUM-S73 Future Law: Can Law Protect us from Science, Technology and the Metaverse?*
Content
This course will consider the challenges facing our world as science and technology advances at a rate that outpaces the law which is intended to protect and serve us. The course will consider the problems facing law and lawyers when they are asked by clients to deal with the issues and benefits that scientific and technological advances bring. We will consider the latest advances and anticipated advances in science and engineering, and the ethical and legal issues that may follow. In particular the course will consider (a) advances in medicine: research using embryos and stem cells, DNA mapping, bioengineering, medical and pharmacological breakthroughs and profit, the issues that arise from living longer or even forever; (b) making humans and super humans: in vitro fertilization, genetic engineering and bionics; (c) resurrecting the dead: cryonic preservation; (d) saving the planet and feeding the world: no plastics, limitless clean energy and genetically modified foodstuffs; (e) making machines think: from self-driving cars and automated weapons to independent artificial super intelligence (including the replacement of lawyers and judges); (f) space exploration and colonization; (g) extra-terrestrial visitors; (h) the internet and information: free-access, privacy, fake stories and policing the internet; and (i) semiconductors, 5G technology, and supercapacitors: the internet of everything. All of these advances and possibilities bring ethical considerations and concerns, and may raise legal issues which will be discussed in the course - particularly they may identify gaps in the law as advances in science and technology raise issues that have never been considered before. The course will also consider the impact of the global pandemic, COVID-19, on the law and being a lawyer. In conclusion, we will consider the future for law and lawyers with more use of technology in law and the claim that we may be facing the end of lawyers.
