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.。The other thing is society's responsibility.、It is meaningless to consider these two separately.。In other words,、This means that it is the social environment, including parents, that deprives children of their abilities.。
however、It's not just about the immediate environment,、history、From things that include a time axis such as folklore、Humanistic environmental axis such as ideology and education、A huge space that includes all the spatial axes such as the natural environment in which you were born and raised.、it's mighty。I wrote "parental responsibility"、While struggling within such a huge thing, we can change the environment just a little.、This is too difficult for the parents individually.。

That's why、“It can’t be helped” is not enough.。including those of us who are already elderly.、Because the future of all people's ability to become anything depends on it.、It is true that there is no other way but to change things little by little.。
Although I am close to powerless, I believe that I am not zero.、Taking an ant's step towards a distance that seems infinite。
The fact that the space probe "Hayabusa" spent more than six years traveling back and forth to the asteroid "Ryugu" located 150 million km away touched many people.。Hayabusa is already heading toward a new asteroid for the next decade。If you accidentally、We may no longer be in this world before Hayabusa changes it to Earth again.、It is also true that people change things little by little.。The road to Rome begins with a single step。Rome is closer than Ryugu。

晨春会展を終えて

Blue Seagull Paper Akira

The Spring Exhibition ended yesterday, the 6th (Sunday) at 5pm.。Under the coronavirus pandemic、I was hesitant, but I'm glad I held the event.。Everyone in attendance、thank you。Although I couldn't come,、Everyone who supported me、thank you。Everyone who gave harsh opinions、thank you。with their encouragement、I would like to use it as strength for the next exhibition.。

Spring art exhibitions are on display at the National Art Center, Tokyo in Roppongi、Works are brought in from all over the country and judged.、There was a continuing ``abnormal situation'' in which the exhibits were put on display but not opened.。It's natural to be afraid of coronavirus, but、``Fear correctly (with accurate knowledge)''、It was the national and metropolitan governments that were conducting campaigns to avoid overreacting.、It must have been a local government such as a prefecture.。The fact that the event was suddenly canceled、no consistent logic、It just depends on the situation in front of you、This means that we have been responding in a haphazard manner.。In that sense、We calmly decided and held the event.、I think it was logically clear.。

As expected, the number of spectators was small.。I missed hearing the tally, but、It's probably about one-third of the usual year.。Most of the audience are elderly。Most of the sellers are elderly、It's only natural that each person sends a DM to their acquaintance.、5Thinking years later、I can't help but think that this exhibition stands on the brink in many ways.。

The decline in attendance is not necessarily due to the coronavirus.。If you ask me if it will recover once the coronavirus subsides,、my answer is no。If you can watch the exhibition on video、I think the people who came to the venue this time will also do the same.。If you can stream it on video、age and health condition、You have a chance to be seen regardless of where you live (though how to find them among the huge number of videos is an even bigger problem)。As I wrote earlier、Seeing something in an image or video is different from seeing it in real life.、If you look at it without looking at it,、In any case, I'm sure it's better to have it looked at.。Young people thought that way a long time ago.、We post all kinds of things on such media and disseminate them.。Our (and many others') existing exhibitions are too far behind.。

Why is Chenchunkai so late?。In one word、This is because there are no young people in the group.。why not become a member、Or can't scout?。Why are young people unattractive?。How can we create charm?。I haven't thought much about such things.。I plan to hold the Chenshunkai Exhibition next year as well.。However, I can't see much about 5 years from now.。I've been thinking the same thing for the past few years.、could not act。This time next year too、I hope I'm not thinking the same thing again.。—I wanted to go to the sea。

Morning Spring Exhibition-2

Gold-medalist in Olympic 2021 ( oil on canvas)

Chenshunkai exhibition begins、first day、2I was on duty at the venue for consecutive days.。The audience is quiet、Thank you for coming all the way at a time like this.、most people watch enthusiastically。It's a blessing。People who say “I wanted to see it no matter what”、Corona from morning till night、I went home feeling refreshed after feeling tired due to the coronavirus.。that's what we wanted。

I came here to forget about Corona.、disinfect、Fill out visitor cards, etc.、I heard some people got angry and said, "Is it coronavirus?"。I feel like I can understand how that person feels.。Referring to coronavirus countermeasures at various other event venues、We also paid a lot of attention to that.。than the coronavirus itself、Honestly, I was more scared of the patrols by the "self-restraint police" who criticized people for not taking precautions.。There are many "police" of this type in Japan.。I started this blog 10 years ago right after the Great East Japan Earthquake.、Even back then, the term "power-saving police" was heard on the streets.、writing about it。There is nothing different from now。

Almost no people come after 4pm.。Take a closer look at your own paintings while wandering around the venue。behind my picture、See your own production process。and 10 years ago、30Looking at my work from a year ago and my work a few years later。If you look closely、1This is what is depicted in the picture.。Every piece at the venue has that kind of scenery.。The members only joke around most of the day.、Everyone sees their own landscapes。Without such members, there is no way it would last 35 years.。This meeting is a special meeting.。

As vaccination progresses、By this time next year, coronavirus will be a distant memory.。It's almost like we've forgotten all about the energy-saving fuss that occurred during the Great Earthquake.。But、The truth is that we are hurting deep down.。I also drew pictures at that time.、People look at you coldly, like if you were doing music or acting.、I was actually treated like that.。That's what the masses are like.。Art is for such a public.、For now, please have some tea.、That's the job。A change of heart may occur just by drinking that cup.。that's art、Tomo thinks while wandering around the venue.。
