How to use gray

"Supermarket saury pack" watercolor

this picture、I'd be happy if people took a quick look at it and thought, "What's the point of showing me a pack from the supermarket?"。``Spring saury'' sold at the supermarket (it didn't say ``saury'')。

In the classroom, I said, ``I think this kind of motif is also interesting.''、I waved a few copies of the photos I took at the supermarket around in the classroom.。Because it's a difficult motif、I thought no one would take it.。

However、However。Even though it wasn't an assignment, everyone drew it for the next meeting! And that's it、Everyone sees it from their own unique points.、It was so good! Not only did I feel happy, but I felt happy.、On the contrary, I was also inspired.。
If you want to take on the challenge of participating in a public exhibition, etc.、Don't just draw a fish well and show it.、For example, there is a direction to take the theme of the modern era, ``at the supermarket store.''、It was just an example of that。

So I tried drawing it myself.。than the saury itself、The aim is to "line up in a pack"、I would be happy if you could see it like the beginning、That's why。right now、Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz etc.、The shortage of petroleum-related products is becoming a social issue.、In this case too、The point of view that focuses on the “tray” rather than the “saury”、I think it would make more sense。
I knew before I drew it that it would be a time-consuming motif.、It took quite a while after all。And、I think this would be a good topic for "how to use gray"、I thought about it again。

AI can't read pictures

"German Iris" Akira watercolor

"What's in the picture?"、It seems like a stupid question, doesn't it? For example, the scenery of ○○、Or △'s portrait.、Right?。Oh dear、Is that normal?。

In front of a painting titled "Landscape of ○○"、Are you really looking at it thinking that this is the scenery of that place?。At exhibitions etc.、If you are appreciating the person viewing the painting rather than the painting.、I really don't think so.。Maybe the example isn't appropriate、For example, Van Gogh's "Wheat Field with Crows"。ah、It's a scene with a crow in a wheat field.、There are people who really think that while watching the movie.、I don't think there's even one person.。

It may seem obvious, but in "Wheat Field with Crows"、What you're trying to see isn't a wheat field or crows.、It's "Van Gogh", right?。Set up an easel in the corner of the wheat field、With short hair and googly eyes,、He draws as if he were crazy, slamming his brush against the canvas.、person without ears。The "crow..." you saw、Van Gogh should have been drawn on the edge of the canvas.。And、Weren't you trying to hear the crow in that wheat field?。
Many people、Maybe that's how you look at the picture。That's how I read the pictures.。

happy? especially、That's a perspective that AI can't provide.、I think it's how you read it。If you have text data and image (video) data called ○○ scenery、tie this together、Furthermore, if there is an article like the one I just wrote, read it as well.、It seems possible to explain it plausibly to a third party.。
But、Humans have text data called “○○ scenery”.、Even though the image data is there、Can “read what is not there (data)”。Don’t let AI take everything away、In order to somehow coexist、Let's try to "read pictures"。

boring looking picture

　　　　　　　　　「日なたの薔薇、日陰の薔薇」　　水彩

こういう絵は、一般鑑賞者から見るとつまらないかもしれない。But、描く側から見ると、明暗の入れ替わりとその効果が味わえて、意外に面白い。

どういうことかというと、first、①日なたの薔薇（薔薇に見えない、という人にはゴメンねというしかないが）と日陰の薔薇が、色違いなのに同じものだと思わせること。そのためには、ここは日向だから白っぽくていい、これは陰だから暗く見えるのは当然、という「錯覚」を作り出すこと。心理ゲームなんですよね。　②同じ葉っぱでも、それを置く場所の明度に合わせ、4つほどの明度を使い分けること。造形思考の確認ですね。それが一種のゲーム感覚を味わえて楽しいのである。

long ago、これと同じことを授業でやったなあ、と懐かしい気もしたが、ゲーム的な面白さまでは伝えられなかった。それは残念。
