欠点

「Apple」  2019.12 F6  tempera

「欠点」ってなんだか恥ずかしく隠したいことのように思えます。But、どうやらそうでもないようなんです

皆さんはテストで「満点」をとったことがありますねニコニコしてうちに帰り親に見せましたね親もニコニコしておかずがちょっと増えたりしてそれできっと「次も満点をとりたい」と思いましたね

However、決して勉強をサボったわけでもないのに次からはなかなか満点は取れなかったでしょう他の子だって満点をとって親のニコニコ顔を見たいしおかずも増やして欲しいと思っているからです先生だって毎回毎回全員が満点をとったら不安です「私のテストの作り方がおかしいのかしら」悩みすぎて自殺してしまわないためにはテストを難しくするしかありません(テストをしない方法もあるのですがこの国ではテストでできるだけ子どもを苦しませこんな苦しい思いをするくらいならもう勉強なんかやめて働くのがいいさと思わせて労働人口を確保しようという政策で学校を運営させているのです先生も公務員である以上逆らえば国に人質にとられている自分の子どもと一緒にホルムズ海峡へ送られてしまう危険性があるのです)(冗談ですよ、Just in case)。

そんなことは子どもでも知っていますからそこは阿吽(あうん)の呼吸で適当に平均点以下だったりあと少しで満点だったり操作をしましたね先生も自殺せずに済み「惜しかったね」「今度は頑張ったね」と気楽に褒めてくれたと思います子どもが本当は親や先生より賢いことは子どもなら誰だって知っています

「欠点」というのはそんなふうに周りを平和にするものなんです自分よりかけっこの遅い子がいる方がみんなは安心だったじゃありませんかそしてその子に優しくなり「一緒に練習してあげるよ」と言ったはずですかけっこで一番遅い子になるのが心配ですか?戦争中かけっこで一番になるような子は日の丸の旗1本持たされて遠いジャングルに送られそこで機関銃や飛行機に追われて走り回り、75年経ってもいまだに帰ってこないじゃありませんか

「欠点」があって初めて人は物が見えるようになります欠けているところから世界が広がるのです「満点」のような人間になってごらんなさい目が塞がっているのと同じです自分の影すら見えないから威張りくさり他人を馬鹿にするのが当たり前になってしまいます欠けた穴から自分の影をよく見時々その穴から世界へ出入りするのがいいのです

It's beautiful、A pleasant picture、Is it no good? 2

“Scenery with Apple-2” 2019

last time、There are some things that I can't explain.、I will supplement。Originally “beautiful”、I think we need to think about what “feels good” means.、I didn't mention it because of word count.。

To summarize the previous content in one word:、``Beautiful'' from the viewer's perspective、It feels good.”、It is not the same thing from the standpoint of expressing it.、That's what it meant。But、Many people try to draw ``beautiful and pleasant'' pictures from the viewer's perspective.。Here, the positions of the viewer and the artist are the same.。I often hear the phrase ``I want to draw pictures that can be displayed.''、I think that shows that。Even if I look back on myself、I think that's certainly the case。On the other hand, some people say, "You can draw it however you like" (me too).。Then, if you like "beautiful and pleasant pictures"、Isn't it okay to draw it that way? That means。

logically so。Also, in reality, you can draw whatever you like.、If there are a large number of people like that, it is certain that the world will become like that eventually.。that's why、When you get this far、What I said last time as if it were a general theory、Rather, it may just be my own "biased" way of thinking.。I see、If you think about it, it might be so.。I don't think that majority voting is necessarily correct.、At this point, there may be many people who believe that the perspective of the viewer and the perspective of the artist are (or should be) different.、And I think that's an important feeling.。

When you get this far、I feel like I have to question what it means to be "beautiful and feel good".。I'm in a bit of a hurry though、I think it would be good if we could distinguish between "pandering" and "natural".、I don't know how to distinguish it well (maybe the word is not appropriate)。Please point it out)。“Pandering” is a historical perspective、It may be said that "nature" is a philosophy.、It is difficult to separate clearly。A philosopher would not ignore this point.、It's a difficult problem for me。Unlike a Japanese dictionary、in front of me、It must have a meaning that is directly connected to "Mr. ○○" that will be produced soon.。With that in mind, what does "pandering" mean?、For Mr. ○○, it may be a matter of naturally ``fitting in'' to the environment in which he was raised.、Depending on how you classify it, it may simply be equated with "adaptability."。“Nature” is also、Realistically, it is impossible to be “just as you were born.”、Do you want to live in a place with a rare natural environment?、After going through a certain social trial、It may be "nature" that has reached a state of being "as you are".。individuality there、Although it is difficult to define words in detail, if you look at them from a bird's-eye view,、The general idea of ​​``beautiful and pleasant''、I wonder if some of it is pandering to the existing (natural/human) environment.、I feel this despite knowing my bias.。on the same horizon、What is natural (although in a sense it can also be said to be unnatural) is more、It is defined as one's own self (depending on others) that has removed the conformity that has been acquired in one's life.、I feel like it can only be done in words.)。

On top of that、“It’s beautiful.、Is it bad to draw a picture that feels good?、I would like to face this question again.。① “It’s beautiful.、“It feels good” is a natural feeling for beginners ② “It feels nice”、Stop and think about the meaning of “feels good” ③ If it matches your own “current/reality”、Believe in “good” and proceed without hesitation。 surely、I think I've done that too.。

It's beautiful、A pleasant picture、Is it no good?

“Landscape with Apple” 2019

“It’s beautiful.、What a pleasant picture、Is it a bad picture? ” is sometimes asked。of course、That's not true。The person asking the question is the person who is drawing the picture.。What I think is beautiful、Draw comfortably、to teachers and friends、Being told that that's not fun、I sometimes feel doubtful when I draw。One day I finally asked。

There must be many people like that.。The conclusion has already been stated: "That's not true."。So, are those who say "that's not fun" wrong?、No such thing。it is、The perspective changes depending on the “position” of the artist or the viewer.、There seems to be an issue related to。

“Creating” means、Simply put, "to create something new"。When drawing normally、Unless you're copying someone else.、what I saw、Turn what you feel into a blank canvas、Draw as you like (even if the result is unsatisfactory)。On the other hand, ``appreciation'' first means ``watching.''、Even if I skip the pictures I don't like、Enjoy your favorite pictures slowly to your heart's content.。That is the basic attitude of appreciation.。There is no need to search for "newness" or "selfishness"。Just enjoy it as you like and it's fine.。

So、The first question might be rephrased like this。“It’s beautiful.、I saw a nice picture。I also want to draw like that、Is that no good? ”。Let's answer this time。“No.。That’s not creative work.”。It's not about whether it feels good or bad.、“Like that” is no good.。At the very least, you have to do it in your own way (although it is actually very difficult).。If it's tough, it's tough.。But a rescue boat。If you push your own way、I'm sure it'll be easy and feel good。It's not a contradiction.、maybe。
