In October, students chose their favorite picture from these 10 movie posters and copied it using watercolors. This time, I wanted to focus on "mixing watercolors to create colors" and "using various brushes to paint the details," so I traced the shapes. The basic rule for watercolors is to leave white behind and gradually build up to a lighter color, but this isn't always the case; there's a lot of flexibility involved, and I thought it might be a daunting task for elementar

This year is the year that the Osaka Expo is being held, so I made a Myakumyaku out of clay. A long time ago, not just a long time ago (lol), when I was three years old, the Osaka World Expo was held. It was the year the Tower of the Sun was built. All I remember is being in the middle of a huge crowd, dancing the folk dance Jenga in a large playground-like place, and getting stepped on by an adult (lol). Around spring, the plan started with the idea that "Since it's the year

Pako's Summer Manga Festival! "Pyamp", which was in production throughout July, is now complete and available for distribution! This year's theme is "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs." This year's third issue of Pumpkin Pup is "a parody of either story" and "five panels," these are the rules. This year we welcomed families to join us! Thank you to everyone who participated! Thanks to this, this year's pumpkins are a little thicker and much richer than last y

We cut out the parts we wanted to draw from the many things on the wall. The ghost T-shirts were very popular this year too (lol). They worked hard to draw my favorite T-shirts, bags, and hats. Using an easel is a style I'm not used to, but I feel like I've become a painter. It's difficult to express something that appears in color in monochrome, but everyone listened carefully to the hints and did a great job. The drawings that children draw with all their heart are somethin

８月の夏休み期間はアクリル絵具を使いキャンバス画を行いました。 今回は「キャンベル缶」です。

Sketch using only white pencil on black paper. This is the opposite of how you would think about drawing a drawing, using the black of the paper for the dark shadow areas and using more pencil for the lighter areas. How can I create the round, pudgy appearance of garlic? After much thought, I was able to create a great piece! This assignment was only done by students who had completed the previous canvas painting. Monday Class Tuesday Class

Many children enjoy working with clay, so we put a lot of thought into the assignments. It can be made in about 2 hours and has a few interesting rules. The theme this time was "Animals that sit slackly." When I came up with this idea, I thought, "That's it!" (laughs) Instead of just sitting upright and normally, he sat slackly, which got his mother in trouble. An animal sitting in a way that makes you say, "Come on! Sit up straight!" I tried sitting in a sloppy, sloppy posit

This month, I will be doing two sketches in a row. First, I will be doing a stainless steel cup sketch. Make full use of all four types of pencils. There are three main points to make here. ・An important number when creating a cylindrical look. -Find the darkest place. ・Find the location of the handle. When drawing, it is important to look at the motif and draw it, but there are some areas where that alone is not enough, and being able to "think" and "search" will allow you t

Continuing from last week's drawing assignment. This time the opponent was quite a formidable one: a clear plastic cup filled with water. Draw something that looks transparent with a pencil. We start by practicing the characteristics of the pencil and how to use it in a sketchbook. We reviewed the important points that were explained during last week's assignment and revisited them. In drawing, it is very important to think about a strategy, so I will give you some tips on ho

The children were looking forward to making butterfly specimens. Create a butterfly in a fictional world. This time, I used a larger case because the one I had been using was discontinued. Thanks to this, I was able to create some interesting butterflies, including a large one and several small ones. Finally, we asked them to consider the name of the specimen, the place where it was collected, and the date it was collected, and the resulting works once again demonstrate the a
