figure painting

Repin "Ivan the Terrible" (from the public domain)

When I think of ``figure painting,'' I immediately think of ``portrait.''、Landscapes and paintings with multiple people in a room can also be included in "portraits".。For example, Picasso's portrait paintings from his Blue and Blue period.、Those of the rosy era, etc.、At least it's not a portrait、The theme is also "human"。

resemble、Although it doesn't look like it, it may not be essential.。This is also the national treasure ``Statue of Gen Gen Yoritomo'', which is said to have been painted by Takanobu Fujiwara.、It is impossible to determine whether or not they resemble the person in question.、The same goes for "Portrait of Christ."。But、On the other hand, there are also things like Tamako Kataoka's ``Ihara Saikaku Statue'' that use imagination.。Not just pictures、The same goes for sculpture.。Although that is true、Well, generally speaking, a portrait "resembles the person"、Would it be possible to say that a portrait painting is ``the subject of a human being in the painting''?。

by the way、There is also a genre called "history painting" (not so common in Japan, but rather the main one in Western Europe).。Because humans create history、Most of what is called history painting is ``figure painting.''。many people know、An example of this is a painting of Napoleon astride a horse, raising his right hand and pointing, ``Cross the Alps!''。By the way、I like Russian painter Repin's ``Ivan the Terrible'' as historical paintings (photo above)。
I was careless, but、There is also a category called “self-portraits”。Let's remember Rembrandt's name here.。Even if I forget the picture。

It doesn't matter whether you like portraiture or not.、There should be no one who is not interested.。According to the research of many scholars、Humans have apparently evolved their brains to look closely at people's faces.。A “human face” that conveys emotions and even various thoughts with a single subtle expression。Even in the classroom, everyone is struggling with production.、That's how difficult it is to deceive (even for the author himself)、This probably means that a high level of expressive technique is required.。"Landscape" and "human beings" are two major themes of art.。No matter how you think about it, in the end you have no choice but to be involved in these two things.。It's too late though、I think I'll try to approach this topic a little more honestly.。

Cospa (cost performance)

YouTube "Blue Seagull Painting Class" video - "How to use felt-tip pens"

"Cospa" is already "Japanese"。Doesn't work anywhere outside of Japan、And it's also commonly used in the media.、It can only be called "pure" Japanese.。Oh dear、I don't care about that、In other words, "emphasis on efficiency"。

It seems that the number of people watching YouTube at "double speed" is rapidly increasing recently.。Not just YouTube、News too、What a study、up to education。It is true that news etc. have low value per hour.、Sometimes I even wish it was 4x faster, let alone 2x faster.。In terms of studying, education, and gaining knowledge,、If you can do it at double speed、Maybe there's nothing better than that。

However、Knowing something and being able to experience it are two completely different things.。Whether it's tea or alcohol、Do not explain the brand or anything in too much detail.、Sometimes it interferes with the taste.。I love only one brand of coffee、For those who enjoy their time thoroughly、Is this the origin of other brands?、It doesn't matter if it's a trend、I don't know if people who have knowledge about coffee can enjoy it more deeply.。Studying and education are all about expanding your worldview.、It's meant to deepen、It should be (or was) another thing to receive praise for that.。but、By the time you can understand the taste、After all, it takes time and money (even if it's not a lot of money)。
but、It seems that education and knowledge are being confused.、Educated person = knowledgeable person = intellectual = good! It seems that the number is increasing (!)。If that's what you mean、I think I can understand the importance of acquiring knowledge at double speed.。most、Educated people are often also knowledgeable.、Although it cannot be said that it is a ``confusion'' in general.。

No one would believe me if I said, ``You can understand everything about art in 15 minutes.''、Let's narrow it down a bit and say, "You can understand everything about jazz in 15 minutes."、(Those who are well-educated in jazz probably won't be surprised by this, but for someone like me who doesn't have a background in music, it might not necessarily make them want to take a look.)。“Cospa” in time and money、sometimes hundreds、This is because I feel like it would be a few thousandths of a second.。
My video on YouTube “How to use felt-tip pens”。"8 minutes 17 seconds"、If you can draw anything with a felt-tip pen, it's cost-effective! But、If they could paint like that, all painters would have gone out of business long ago.。By the way、The video explains how to use it (my way).、I'm not saying that anyone can draw the same way just by looking at it.。

university entrance exam

“At the fishing port of Boso” felt-tip pen + transparent watercolor

Today is the entrance exam for many national and public universities across the country.、The first day will be held。For prospective students, please、I sincerely hope that you will make full use of the results of your daily studies.。It's been quite a while now、It's this time of year at my house too.、I remember being so nervous that everyone dared to “relax”.。

I can't forget my child saying, "My hands are shaking and I can't write well."。That's how nervous test takers are。in their life、I think this is probably because it is perceived as the biggest hurdle.。

“No matter which university you graduate from,、Some people say, "Once you graduate, the rest is up to you."。But、At least in Japanese reality、No matter what field you choose, your final educational background (school you graduated from) will stay with you for the rest of your life (not only for the child but also for their parents).。Very recently, there is an age column on resumes.、It seems that more and more companies are starting to recruit without a field for final educational background.、still only a part。children are sensitive、I have little faith in the media and the Ministry of Education's ``ideal image'' of the relationship between university selection and the subsequent relationship with society.。They believe in their seniors who are close to them.、Raw experiences。

I'm sorry this happened a long time ago, but、The theme was "Open up your life with your ability" (reverse?)、It reminded me of an American short animation.。~Two elementary school classmates。The girl is a child of immigrants and lives in a single-parent household.。The boy is the millionth child of a wealthy man.。My father is a high-ranking person in a large company.。~~The boy has several specialized private tutors.、Successfully passed into a famous university。The girl is worried that her mother is not feeling well.、Drop out of high school and start working。~~The next scene the two meet is at the (boy's) wedding scene.。Then the groom (boy) declares。"I've always worked hard on my own.。Nothing is impossible no matter how hard you try、There isn't.。” says the guest as well.、``Just because he's the son of a wealthy man,、Not applicable in modern times。The results we have achieved so far are nothing but his personal efforts.'' From the wedding venue to the couple.、The staff member who has been filming wedding videos for gifts is a girl.。-direct、Not related to university entrance exams、I was watching the news thinking that most of the staff at the companies reporting on entrance exams were from so-called top universities.。- Examinee、Good luck everyone。
