contrast (to compare)

“Yellow Wall” from classroom demo production

good morning。Today is Sunday, July 9, 2023。It's a hot and cloudy day。news? Looking at the weather forecast, Shimane、From the Sea of ​​Japan side such as Yamaguchi to northern Kyushu、Looks like it's raining heavily。Since it is a natural disaster, some aspects are unavoidable.、I hope that the damage that can be prevented is minimized.。

Demo production for watercolor class on Tuesday.。I couldn't finish it in the classroom, so、I drew it until it was completed after I got home.。Here the color contrast、In particular, the sub-theme is the contrast of complementary colors.。Complementary colors is a term that refers to the relationship between two colors that complement each other.、In this case, the yellow wall、This is the case with the purple color all around trees and buildings.。I also took pictures、I'm planning on uploading it to YouTube someday。

I would like to add an explanation of complementary colors.、The idea is to use the so-called three primary colors (red、green、yellow) and a mixture of two of them.、The remaining one is a complementary color relationship.、If you remember this, you will be able to make most of them.。as is well known、If you mix blue and yellow, you get green、Green and red are complementary colors、That means。In reality, you will use paint or light.、Each will be a completely different mixed color.。even in the case of paint、For example, there are many types of red that have quite different properties.、Also ink and oil paint、There are also differences in materials such as watercolors.、It can be said that the combinations are infinite.。However、The basic idea is as described above.。
Not just color、Of course, there is also a contrast between light and dark, such as white and black.。The concept of “contrast” is further、Widely understood, not only in visual arts such as paintings, but also in general.、being used、Be conscious in all “comparisons”、used unconsciously。When you say "that person is tall"、It's about comparing yourself or those around you.、When we say, “That person has become beautiful,” we mean that person’s past.、or compared to others of the same age.、This means that you are comparing it in this way.。I think it can be said that ``contrast'' is the center of ``comparison.''。　

A concept that can be contrasted with "contrast" is "harmony."。In the world of art, it seems that ``contrast'' is included in ``harmony.''、Depending on how you think about it, it might seem like the opposite.。　
“Comparing” is a great wisdom of humans.。Its wonderful development was manifested in the invention of the "ruler".。Through the sharing of concepts in all fields,、It's also interesting to think about how it is connected to today's AI.。

my health management

fresh green pond

Thank you for the hot weather。In my town (city), it seems that ``July 7th'' was the highest ever temperature of 34℃ (even if July 6th and July 8th were 38℃).。It's morning today、I went to a specific health checkup (health checkup) conducted by the city.。Are you all taking good care of your health?

My health management method (!)、The items that are emphasized are ``sensory-oriented'' such as stomach sensation and skin sensation that have been important since childhood.、In other words, it is “Text”.、It seems like it suits my body、I feel reasonably healthy (though I often hear that it's dangerous).。

There aren't many things I don't like about food.。Rather, I eat similar things every day.、In the first place, things we don't like don't come to the table.。In the small, half-farming, half-fishing area where I grew up,、The focus is on what is now known as ``local production for local consumption,'' which is based on materials.、Colorful and stylish dining tables like today's、I've only seen it on TV。
Nowadays, the dining table looks nice and visually appealing.。That alone whets the appetite。Even if I'm full、There are beautiful sweets etc.、Even if you are not a woman, the color and shape will tempt you to try just one bite.。Whether or not you have an appetite is an important aspect of health management.。Because you have a healthy body, you have an appetite.。I have become accustomed to not eating until I am hungry.。

another side、When it comes to mental health management、level of intellectual stimulation、You can't count calories when your brain has time to rest.、virtually uncontrollable。
In this respect, my only barometer is "sleep."。There are many things regarding "sleep".、Recently, I have been able to sleep without taking any medicine.。What we know about the causes of sleep disorders、I no longer have time to worry because I'm so busy (though that's a problem)、Looks like it's the reason I'm sleeping for now.。

The era called "Showa"

2Uploaded a day ago

The extent to which a person can endure poverty is not just a matter of the individual.、It may also be a problem with the surrounding environment (oops)、Suddenly “poverty” and “enduring”、Is it? )。When everyone around you is poor, you share your feelings.、Despite their material poverty, they seem to have been relatively simple mentally.。Rakugo's Yattsuan、It's a bear's world, isn't it?。There is only one reason why we today can relate to that.、Because “we were like that too.”。

Because I was born after the war、The Japanese after World War II、The true politics of America、Publicly allowed access to economic prosperity、Since the early modern period, since the arrival of the black ships、We are learning the historical fact that we realized our poverty for the second time.。
That poverty、The period of high economic growth in the 1970s was when people worked hard under the misunderstanding that it was only about material things.。One generation above me。Japanese people turned their noses up higher than Americans.、Forget about spiritual richness、It was also a time when people were obsessed with making money.。When the Vietnam War ended、Thanks to not having to go to war, my pockets have expanded a little.、By the time the cutting-edge worker bees were starting to get a little tired,、I think Japan has finally found the space to think about ``getting out of poverty'' and ``what is wealth?''。

What about modern times?。Nowadays, we don't even have the small amount of "leeway" we had in the 1980s and 1990s, when we started thinking, "What is wealth?"。Japan has the third largest GNP in the world.、We are starting to lag behind in all areas other than economics.、The current situation seems to be that we are no longer able to keep up with the world.。
　Showa era "Economic first class"、Japan is said to have third-rate politics.、now、As I see it, it is a ``second-class economy''.、Politics is a little above the worst.”。Politics is like a bottomless pit that keeps sinking.、10after the year、30after the year、50,100There is no vision for what will happen next year.。Even a policy vision has been entrusted to us by a group called Nantara Kantara for world unification.。They are Heisei、What have we accomplished in the era that continues with Reiwa?、What did you make?。Among the many hereditary members、Isn't it just riding on the assets of the Showa era?。

The Showa era was certainly materially poorer than it is now.。There are so many things now。But、These things bring spiritual richness and peace.、Are we getting it right? Everything was good in the Showa era.、I don't say such nonsense like Grandpa Bachchan (actually, I'm Grandpa).、At least to get rid of the fear that things will get worse if things continue like this.、Politics seems to lack the ideas and ability to present a vision.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、Maybe not only in Japan、Much of the world may be starting to wander.。Everyone was good back then.、I would like to live in a world where we don't have to say things like。
