Hydrangea season has come

Try drawing “hydrangea”

“Hydrangea bullets” are “presented” to each class in the “Blue Seagull Painting Class”。everyone、Struggling to eat it。

「４、Under the campaign "Let's draw two in May"、The materials of photographs and actual motifs are already at hand.。Hydrangeas are a bonus motif。“Hydrangea” is a difficult motif to begin with, but、Is the motif before that easy?、That's never the case。There is no such thing as an easy flower (not just a flower).。

The other day, I uploaded a video called ``9th Blue Seagull Society Painting Exhibition'' to YouTube.。For 39 sellers、As of 3 days after it was uploaded, it has been viewed 214 times.、This means that people other than the "Blue Seagull Society" exhibitors are also viewing it.。
Making an announcement is both a matter of pride and stress.。This is because I feel "embarrassing" and "unseemly at this level".、On the flip side, it's also because I have a hidden confidence that says, ``The real me is much better.''。I guess the stress comes from worrying that your confidence might be destroyed.。Most painters are quite confident, but、Even if you are a veteran, it is difficult to exhibit works that are suitable for this every time.、I end up submitting “embarrassing works” over and over again.。But no matter how old you are, use it as a springboard、It is a common trait among people called painters that they grow.。Even in my own experience、There are many things that I finally understand by comparing them with other people's works.。Although art is ultimately personal,、Unless you have at least an objective perspective、It may end up being just a "smug" picture (though I can't say that such a picture is bad either)。One of the most straightforward ways to develop such objective vision is to、In my case, I thought then and still do that that ``listing was embarrassing.''。

Today I tried (also) hydrangeas.。I must have drawn it about 100 times by now.、There may be a few memorable "so-so" moments.。The other pictures are all "embarrassing" pictures.、It's not like I don't feel embarrassed to hide it either.。

I feel like I can't say anything

5Uploaded on the morning of August 8th。

I made this video using half of the holidays.。I also made one more、Except for going to the National Art Center in Roppongi to see the national exhibition.、I spent all my holidays editing videos.。The new work on Tempera No. 6, which is currently in production, has stopped midway through.。Still uploading after the holidays。

Nowadays, complete video production using AI alone has begun.。You don't even need a camera to make a video。Turn your smartphone into a camera? not、No camera at all。Since you don't need a camera, you don't need any other photography equipment or techniques.。No video editing software is required, so editing skills and time are unnecessary.。All you need is a computer and AI software。

Another thing I need is an idea.、Even that is not “essential”。For example, let's say the title is "Spending an Evening on the Beach in Summer"。Write a rough story in sentences。
The AI ​​then presents a "script" based on that story within a few tens of seconds to a few minutes.。A photo (or a drawing) that matches it、Or there is also a video。who reads the script、select character。You can also adjust the quality of your voice and speaking speed.。It will also show you the captions.、You can freely choose the font。You can rewrite the parts you don't like...etc..
In this way, within a few minutes to more than ten minutes、You can complete a video without even having a single photo on hand.。Of course, you can also use your own photos.、It doesn't take any effort for anyone to become the main character of the video.。Moreover,、The copyright of the resulting video (regardless of whether it has any meaning or not) is yours.。Maybe you all already、You may already be watching videos created by AI without knowing it.。

The time I spent on this video、Was all that training time a waste? I feel so pathetic that I want to say。But、I'm sure most videos will be like that soon.。effort etc.、No one would want to do that if possible.。
As I wrote the other day、Was it an American funeral home?、If you have a photo of the deceased or a voice from when he was alive,、Video conversations between the deceased and their families have already become a business.。The content of the conversation is、after the deceased dies、In other words, "at the moment"。If there are any texts or materials written or spoken by the deceased,、From there, the content of the story is unique to that person.、It is said that even the mannerisms of speaking can be reproduced.。100We have become able to have conversations with our ancestors from years ago about today's topics in 2023.。It's a scary thing if you think about it a little deeper.。
Even if you think about the immediate future、Some TV stations will go bankrupt as well.、Most video engineers will also be unemployed.。People who believe that “AI will open up the future of humanity”、It seems that only half of the people think that ``Pandora's box has been opened.''、For now I'm the latter。

Speed ​​and “likes”

Although it doesn't look like a hydrangea at first glance、If you look closely, you can see that it is a member of the hydrangea family.

The ability to disseminate information is important、Now is the time when this is said not only to companies and local governments, but also to individuals.。New equipment is being developed all the time、Even if you know almost nothing about computers、Anyone can now send messages to the world (e.g. Twitter)。

on the other hand、Ability to carefully examine transmitted information、So-called information literacy、It just says, "It's necessary to protect yourself," but it's not very specific.。The methods and training methods are simply left to the individual or to ``study (experience) various things'' (that's what I think).。The person who said it probably doesn't know what to do.。

That's why (?) the amount of transmissions becomes abnormally large.。The reason we send information is because we want to be recognized.、110 times rather than times、100Of course it is more advantageous to send 10,000 times than 10,000 times.。1Rather than taking time to carefully disseminate information、Even if you are not satisfied, it is better to do it 100 times.、10,000 times even if I am very unsatisfied、It flows like this、natural in a sense。And if you get a “like” somewhere (if there is a reaction), focus on that.。Speed ​​is more important than content.。
　The side that gives a “like”、In other words, there is no "literacy" on the receiving side.。In that situation、react on a whim by chance。That being said, getting 10,000 or 1 million likes?、I guess it does have some persuasive power after all.、Because many people think that、This creates an information cycle.。
but、In modern times、Even videos that have been viewed 100 million times (which is not uncommon anymore)、Almost no one remembers that、In fact, it will be forgotten after a few days.。Where is the "persuasive power" in that?。What is the difference between this and a mere assumption on the part of the sender?。

10It's hard to write letters to people。If the content becomes complicated, it can take several days to write a single letter.。The more intimate the、It can also be stressful。Such a situation (due to the above circumstances) is not welcome in modern times.、Even in chat GPT、It is best to have a letter sent automatically that is as polite as possible but never more than a courtesy.。Above all、Even if you write a letter like that, you won't get any "likes".。Speed ​​is life。If you don't get likes, it's not worth it.、As long as we don't question the value of "likes" themselves,。
