One of the people in the classroom has been working for the past few years.、Created with the theme of Haniwa。There are many ruins in his hometown that are closely related to haniwa.、It seems that I gradually started to want to draw them.。

When I was in elementary school、A lot of Jomon pottery was found in my parents' field.、My mother said, ``Why don't you try drawing it?''、I remember what you brought me。Because of that,、I drew a few things using his motifs.。Then、“Huh? This?、Maybe it's the motif (starting point) of Taro Okamoto's "Tower of the Sun"? ” I thought。

I think many of you know this.、Mr. Taro had a deep respect for and knowledge of Jomon culture.。Not only Japan's Jomon culture、Interest in ancient culture、The depth of the design is expressed everywhere.、This sculpture, commonly known as “Jomon Venus”、The method is very similar to that of the Tower of the Sun.。There is no specific model、He says that it is an expression of the idea of ​​the "World Tree," which is itself an idea.、Speaking and modeling are not the same thing。
Youth in France、In the sea of ​​Western culture、He must have been desperately trying to confirm his identity.。“Jomon Venus” may have gradually become a bigger presence in his mind.、There is no discomfort in imagining that。

Fortunately, I met Taro Okamoto twice.、Both times we were able to exchange words, albeit only for a short time.。The first time was a complete coincidence。I want to know a certain foreign painter.、I think I accompanied him to the International Exchange Center (official name has not been confirmed) in Kanda for advice on staying in Japan.、Mr. Taro, who happened to be there on business, suddenly appeared.、I was talking to you。Because there was no one else、I spoke relatively slowly.、Have I soared?、I don't remember exactly what we talked about.。
The next、At the time of the solo exhibition in Japan、To Mr. Taro who was reluctant to sign the catalogue.、I forced myself to ask him to sign it.。At that time、Mr. Taro (I can't believe he was grateful for just an autograph)“I don’t understand,” I remember muttering to myself in French.。

102nd month、I was feeling well so、I've visited four exhibitions, including a solo exhibition from an acquaintance.。First, the "Nishibo Koji Solo Exhibition" (until the 6th) is being held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store。We both had knowledge of recent works, such as sending and sending catalogs, but、It's been quite a while since I met。Even when we last met、Maybe my hair was still slurping、現在のわたしを見ても分からないかも知れないと思っていたが覚えてくれていたのは、He's a truly artist。I'm jealous that he hasn't changed much、As a perpetual young man。水辺の風景が得意な西房氏だが、あえてこの絵を紹介する。
　この、一見バラバラに点在するモチーフ。それをこうも絶妙にトリミングすること自体驚嘆しますが、それをいかにも「見たまんま描いただけよ」風に描き切っているところが本当はすごいところ。「そのまんま」なんてあるわけないんですよ、実際は。作者がいて、切り取って見せることで、はじめて「見たまんまの＝実景」に見えるんです。長閑な、古き良きヨーロッパに行ってきたような気になりますよね―心地よく作者の魔法にかかってくださいね－。

Then heading to Ueno、I saw the Van Gogh Exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art。あとで見たらゴッホの「作品展」ではなく、Touring Van Gogh、"Family Relationship" between younger brother Theo and his wife Yo、The title was the way Van Gogh's works relate to his surroundings.。義理の妹ヨーの活躍は初めて知り、感銘を受けました。
　おなじ上野公園内だし、国立博物館本館での「運慶」も見た。興福寺北円堂を再現した展示は一室７点だけのこじんまりしたものだったけれど、Unkei is amazing whenever you see it。"Unkei" is、確認されているものだけ3点。The statues of the Four Heavenly Kings that are also displayed were also explained as "there is a possibility that it was created by Unkei."、I felt that it was made by a "workshop" after all.。要するに運慶の「関与の程度」の話であり、完ぺきな作者を特定する方向性自体にも問題の一端はある。当時は「個性尊重」など無い時代であることをもっと考慮すべきだろう。of course、運慶の指導下での制作らしく、It was very impressive。Photography is prohibited at the venue、そんな部分は残念ながらお見せ出来ません。Compared to painting exhibitions, there are far fewer people who see sculptures、Conversely, you can enjoy this in depth。「日本の誇り」って気持ちにもになりましたよ。

On the way back from the museum, walk from the science museum.、We had a special exhibition called "Ice Age Exhibition."。Looking at the event, it is said to be until the 13th of this month.、見ていくしかないじゃん！急ぎ足で見たので大した報告はできませんが、For now, take a look at the photos of "Neanderthals."。なんてカッコいいんでしょう！わたしならこのままの姿でニューヨークを闊歩したい！
　下は、クロマニヨン人がトナカイの角（つの）に施したレリーフ（浮き彫）。“センス” というのは本当に時代・空間（時空）を超えるんだなーと感動しました。それが現代までちゃんと遺るという“奇跡” は、The work is truly、それ自身の力によって成し遂げたこと。
　“運慶” の力って、（貴方は「不特定多数」の人にとって誰なの？）に対する鏡を突き付ける人、孤独で独りよがりな「あなたを変える力を与える人＝運慶」。だから「芸術家」なんですよ、運慶は。

Likes and dislikes aside、For now, this motif has been temporarily discontinued here.。Exercise 1，Make use of the second reflection、The composition is also quite convincing.、I was able to include all the themes I wanted to draw。

What theme do you want to draw?、Mountain scenery reflected in the window。It's called a show window、It has a very urban image (for a countryside like me).、Instead of reflecting the crowds of the same city、A region far from there、Putting natural scenery in。A slightly distorted view would be nice。

I masked the "flowers" in the background after a bit of hesitation.、I think it would have been about 10 times easier to draw with gouache or something later (in the process)。
