Freedom and Expression-2

We.da.i 2021.11.16

Last time、In order to obtain true freedom, it is said that ``become free from yourself = throw away your (desires and desires)''、It was a story about a Zen monk.。I see.、I thought、At the same time, I also thought that it would be impossible for 99.99% of people in the world.。

There is nothing to be gained by giving up desires and desires.、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、It means I can have time with my true self.、I don't know how it will manifest itself。I can imagine that there is an expression of oneself and oneself (behavior) that becomes visible only when one reaches a state of mind that is close to ``enlightenment.''、I can think of expressions that would otherwise be impossible.。

on the other hand、99,99%Some of the people、On the contrary, aren't there some people who try to be faithful to their desires and earthly desires?。Becoming more and more radical with the aim of "deceiving people"、That direction。What kind of world will that end in?。Somehow、I have a larva that hatches itself、The appearance of caterpillars that turn into butterflies overlaps.。If the caterpillar is “me” at that point,、After all, isn't he throwing away who he was and becoming his true self?。

There, like a circle、Maybe we're just seeing different aspects of the same thing.。If so...。But、Either way, it's no good to be half-hearted (no、If mere phase is the essence、Maybe it's the same thing)、That's what I feel (at the moment)。And I also believe that 99.99% of people must be half-hearted.。

What is freedom and expression? A story from a Zen monk

Classroom demo production (unfinished)

no one cares、whenever you want、do what you like、that's freedom。- “That’s not true.”、A Zen monk says:。it's stuck on me。whenever you like、What I like、Many of them are temporary、ephemeral、Maybe it wouldn't matter if you waited a little bit.、It's something like、and。

I wake up at 3 a.m. and start taking care of myself.。It's never been a hassle (= a hassle)、I do it because in hindsight I think it was a good idea after all.。At that time、I don't mind if I sleep a little longer (freedom)、I'll regret it later。Daily routine is set。No need to think about what to do (freedom from thinking)。that's why、What kind of being am I?、What am I?、You can spend a lot of time freely、friend。

I see.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。he is a foreigner、Since I was young, I felt that I wanted to live more freely.、leave your parents、leave the country、away from work、He said he came to a Japanese temple.。However, in training there is no freedom at all.、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、No one says anything even if I do what I want, but I become more and more isolated.。I can't even read the scriptures、no one will tell me。become lonely、I wanted to go back to my country。But, “What will I do when I return to my country?”。―Everything starts from me―That’s why、“Return to yourself” again。The world has changed since then、That's called。

I see.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Return to yourself - do what you really want to do、momentary、not instantaneously。what to do for that。-Rather than trying to get something、To throw away、To be empty – yes.、I remember receiving the same advice.。I guess that's why you started studying about Buddhism again.。
-If what you really want to do is not expressed、I wonder if such expressions will eventually become nothing more than a kind of ``deceptive'' kind of thing.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。After all, it is precisely through this kind of expression that money and fame can be earned - and it is difficult to throw it away (which I think is different from "giving up").、severity、and think about your own expression。

いま「ポテトチップス」？

Calbee Craft ポテトチップス　（紙に鉛筆）

end of last month、水彩クラスで「ポテトチップス」をモチーフにしてみた（その周辺のことはすでにこのブログに書いた）。これまでの「伝統絵画的モチーフ」からいきなりポテトチップスでは、生徒さんはまごつくだろうし、わたしにしても、これまでのモチーフで描いてきた絵とポテトチップスとの関係を、定義・確認しておく必要があるだろうと思ったので、実施の前に（iPadで）自分でいくつか描いてみた。そうして、世の中はモチーフだらけ、というか、モチーフの中に住んでいることにあらためて気がついた。

旅先で珍しい食べ物とかがあったりすると、今なら多くの人がインスタグラムなどで“すぐ”（不特定多数の人々と）共有することができる。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、ほんの10年前でも、そのようなかたちで（せいぜい）友人、知人と共有するまでにはかなりのタイムラグがあった。それには写真を現像、プリントして友人に郵送するなどしか方法がなかったような気がする。

共有するにはまず写真か文章（手紙）が必要だった。絵を描ける人ならそれにもう一つ「スケッチ」という武器がある。But、for many people、写真やスケッチの90%以上は記録のためであったと思う。that's why、スケッチも絵の一つであるという認識はあっても、頭のどこかに「それは（本格的な）絵」のための、あくまでメモのような次元をこえるものではないというハードルを設けていた。
―「ポテトチップス」などは、そういう意味での記録的興味の対象ですらなかった。そこらじゅうにあふれ過ぎていて、あえて“記録する価値”が見出せなかったからである。それに「安っぽく」見えた。However、いかにも人工的、現代的な商品という外観は、ポップアートを持ち出すまでもなく、自分の中でも「これらを抵抗なく描いたら、そこから（自分の）新しい絵が始まるかもしれない」とは思っていた。9月に「青いカモメ展」が終わり、生徒さんの中にも、何か新しいことをやってみたいという気持ちが湧いてきていたところだったようで、「今がポテトチップスだ」―ちょうどいいタイミングで始める事ができたのだった。

is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake、油絵にも「いきなりポテトチップス」。そんなわけで鉛筆デッサンにもポテトチップスである（描き方は極めて古典的、オーソドックスだが、これは生徒さんの希望である）。現在の「高校の美術部」とかなら「え～っ、今ごろ～！？もう終わってるよ！」だろうけど。―それはともかく、実際に描いてみると案外に面白い。（本格的な）絵にならないどころか、これこそ「絵になる（すべき）」素材ではないか、とも感じてきた。
