Thoughts from one day's CG diary

2005Diary of December 31st

About 20 years ago, CG picture diaries looked like this (copied from data)。Before that, my picture diary was drawn in a sketchbook.)。Up until then, I was a lazy writer when it came to writing diaries.、Until my son was able to write his own diary.、It was a picture diary that I, as a parent, started to write down.。
It was a quick way to show it to the person who couldn't read yet, but it was a quick way to show it every morning.、When I tried it, I realized that there was no extra pressure on myself to create a "diary" where I didn't write about myself.、A homepage and picture diary with him as the main character、From just before he entered kindergarten until he graduated from junior high school、I was able to keep it interesting beyond my expectations.。
An artist friend of mine、I have an administrative contact book for my son's kindergarten.、Only one book in the world、Have fun、interesting、I was shown how it had been dramatically re-created as a precious record of growth.、It all started when I received a lot of inspiration.。

My son is ``born?'' good at computers.、When he was an older child in kindergarten、It is true that he was already my "computer teacher".。Due to the need to input Roman characters、I was the one who taught him the alphabet, ``Aiueo''、From there, he searched the internet on his own.、I absorbed more and more necessary knowledge.。

“Press any key” When the words appear on the computer screen、As a kindergartener, he immediately said, ``This means press a certain key,'' and I listened again.。Computers at that time were Windows. 3.0 mosquito 3.1 It should was。windows exploded 95 3 or 4 years ago。Even though I don't even know a single English word yet.、I can already understand the meaning of many English sentences just by feeling.、What I was using was、I think it's amazing even now that I think about it。
but、In fact, there are probably many parents who have had similar experiences.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、In fact, I think most parents are like that.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Children's abilities are extraordinary。They're like human-sized IPS cells.。You can be anything、Never over。Even on our parents' side、I'm sure it was like that when I was a child.。
-but、Why was this ability not developed? One of the reasons is the parents' responsibility.。もう一つは社会の責任だがこのふたつを切り離して考えることは無意味だそのことを言い換えればこどもの能力を奪うのは親を含む社会環境だということになる
 ただしそれは現在の環境という目先だけのものではなく歴史民俗などの時間軸を含むものから思想・教育などの人文的な環境軸生まれ育った自然環境などの空間軸などの一切を含む巨大強大なものだ「親の責任」と書いたがそういう巨大なものの中でもがきながらほんの少し環境を変えるのだって親個人にとっては重すぎるほどに大変なことなのだ

That's why、「仕方ない」では済まされないすでに高齢である自分たちを含めすべての人々の「何にでもなれる」未来がそこにかかっている以上少しずつでも変えていく以外に途はないのも事実である
 無力に近いがゼロではないことを信じつつ無限大とも思われる遠くへ蟻の一歩を進む
 宇宙探査機「はやぶさ」が6年以上かけて1億5千万㎞の彼方にある小惑星「りゅうぐう」を往復してきたことは多くの人々に感動を与えたその「はやぶさ」はすでに次の10年を新たな小惑星に向かって進んでいるうっかりするとはやぶさが再び地球に変える前にわたしたちはもうこの世にいないかもしれないがそうやって人が少しずつ何かを変えていることもまた事実ローマへの道も一歩からローマは「りゅうぐう」より近い

sketch party

椰子の実オウムガイ水差しなど  (2010頃のスケッチ/ 鉛筆、watercolor)

一昨日(6/15)久しぶりにスケッチに出かけた最近はタブレットを使って描いてばかりだから手が動かないかと心配したが杞憂だった風景スケッチは楽しい見て歩くだけでも楽しいのに描いたスケッチが手元に残るというお土産もある仲間がいるのもいい

以前は多人数でスケッチに行くのは億劫だった一度スケッチに出たら最低でもスケッチブック一冊(今は17ページくらいのものが多い)を描かなくては気が済まなかったスケッチは続けて描くうちにリズムが掴めてきてぐんぐんスピードがあがりシャープになり視点も研ぎ澄まされてくるものだ。that's why、だらだら描いていてはいけない描いたらすぐ移動することを繰り返すのが上達のコツだと思っている多人数ではそんなマイペースが守れない

But、最近は気心の知れた仲間たちとスケッチに行くのも悪くないと思うようになった教室の人たちのレベルが上がり何とかペース合わせられる程度になってきたせいもある(わたしも随分我慢強くなったし)がスケッチとそれを描く人とのあいだに興味が移ってきたことが大きいような気がする

「スケッチとそれを描く人のあいだ」「人間性」といえば少し大げさな気がするがまあ「人となり」というのがそれに近いだろうかおっとりした人がゆったりした絵をかくとは限らないおしゃべりな人が饒舌なスケッチを描くとは限らないのだ下手な絵にも存外深い意味はあり遠近法の狂った絵にもその人となりが鮮やかに輝くこともあるだろう世間話をしながらその人の描きぶりを見スケッチを見るそうやっていわば人間のスケッチもする。That too、というよりもしかしたらそちらの方が面白いと感じるようになってきたのかもしれない

Old Iwatsuki city sketch

Iwatsuki:Suzuki Sake Brewery (Brand:ten thousand ryo)
Alley with sushi delivery

Today at the "Blue Seagull Painting Class"、About 20 people participated in the sketch meeting after a long absence。In the former Iwatsuki city, which is now Saitama city。Contrary to expectations of cloudy or rainy weather、I decided to draw with a parasol。10 am、Between the meeting in front of the Iwatsuki Doll Museum and 3:00 p.m.、free production、free dissolution。2:00pm to 3:00pm only、Arrangements for me to comment on applicants at the meeting place。

according to the brochure、Iwatsuki from the castle construction in the Sengoku period to the abandoned castle in the Meiji era、An old castle town that was also a post town in the Edo period。It seems that it was a mansion type, not a castle with a so-called castle tower.。A vast moat was drawn in from the Moto-Arakawa River (the main stream of the Arakawa River at the time) that flowed nearby (current castle ruins park).。not only samurai、Many craftsmen such as weapons and furniture live in the surrounding area.、It seems that it became the foundation of Iwatsuki, which is known nationwide as the current "town of dolls".。

Walking around with a sketchbook、Here and there I see tasteful districts、I hardly feel the atmosphere of a castle town。It can be said that it has evolved、It seems to me that the character of the town has changed qualitatively.。I don't particularly want to draw old things and look for them、trying to find something different、It is unavoidable that historical things tend to be targeted。The sketch depicting Suzuki Sake Brewery, which was founded in 1873,、One such historical piece。One of the sushi delivery bikes lined up、a little old town、It became a sketch that docked with the present under the corona disaster (I didn't aim for that in the beginning。There happened to be a store in a place where I felt that it would be a picturesque alley.)。

it was so hot、Lunch at the cafe in front of the museum、I ate the rice balls I brought with me while drinking cold tapioca milk tea.。Blueberry gelato after afternoon sketch。If I ask you later、It seems that there was "sake lees gelato" provided by Suzuki Shuzo。Will try this soon、I have to report。
