The final nude production at the university ends this week.。for over ten years、Thank you to many models。I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.。The participants also drew with great enthusiasm.。I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you.。Only once in a lifetime、We spent an irreplaceable time together.。

Also、I have received many requests from many people to continue receiving my guidance.、I feel grateful.。A well-organized environment like a university is difficult to obtain outside.、I think there will be some difficulties in the future from an environmental perspective.、In some respects, I also have hopes that I will be able to push forward my ideas more frankly.。

Aside from the debate about whether painting should be taught or not.、What do the participants want?、what I thought about it、I would like to briefly explain what I am going to do next.。Actually, there are parts of me that are confused and uncertain.、Even if I state it categorically here and now,、Please read this with the understanding that there are many possibilities for changes in a direction that you think would be better.。

20I taught painting classes for many years.、At first, it was all a matter of fumbling around.。I have no experience as a teacher either.、just my own、I just expressed my view of painting as is.。Speaking of which, it gives a messy impression.、A raw painter's egg is a mystery、If you look at it from the perspective of the fact that we rarely have the opportunity to seriously look at things going from side to side,、It may have provided some valuable experience.。But ok、As a lecturer, my vision is unclear.、I would have failed at first.。

Although I have not yet digested “painting techniques and knowledge”、I've tried to convey it as much as possible.。No matter what your hobby is、Each painting material is a real thing with its own physical characteristics.、If you don't take advantage of it, you will not only end up spending unnecessary effort and wasted money, but also、The result is that the work itself is reduced to a more miserable state.。Furthermore, geniuses of all ages have created、There is a risk of denying the very history of the technical accumulation of painting.。

It's a university course.、I thought it would be a bit lonely if it was just a matter of drawing well.。In fact, it's okay if you can't draw well.、Fascinated by art through learning techniques、Thoughts on those who sometimes fell victim to art.、What if we could deepen our understanding of figurative expression?、Isn't it also enriching oneself in terms of education?。That was half the purpose of my "technical guidance"。Specifically, this includes things like copying and classical techniques.。In terms of the history of painting, copying can be said to be the study of painting itself.、You are not misguided.。I still think it would have been a good idea to create a class that was all about copying.。Things like general "art history" are beyond my ability.、I intend to stay within the scope of technology.。

For all participants、It is natural to have a desire to be able to draw a little better or to be able to draw pictures that you can be proud of to others.。This is a "painting course", not an "art history" course.。We provide specific technical guidance on production.、It's natural to seek that。Assuming various cases、the easiest、I have devised various ways to do this in my own way.。Examples include ``1.2.3 step method'' (oil painting) and ``composition with emphasis on light and shade'' (watercolor).。More than half of the purpose of technical guidance is spent on this.。

But、There are probably only a few people who have achieved satisfactory results (actually everyone has leveled up)。But the results won't be able to keep up with the desired speed.)。There are varying degrees of、Minimum time needed to learn technology、has economic costs。There were times when my body couldn't keep up with what my mind could understand.。I need more time than I did when I was younger.、reality is harsh。

Our basic thinking will continue to remain the same.。I don't think that the methodology up until now is wrong.。Still, from direct technical guidance for "sketching-like drawings" to "painterly" drawings.、I would like to see them shift their focus even further than they are now.。No one can deny "sketches"。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、Paintings are not just sketches.、bigger、widely、It's something I deeply enjoy。And I think the most important thing is to be myself in that.。While maintaining independence as a painting (beyond mere smugness)、I want to be able to preserve the crystallization of each person's life in the form of a painting.、I hope it will help you with that.。

It is the result, not the premise, that allows us to say, “It doesn’t matter if it’s bad.”、i am thinking。each、Leave a masterpiece behind as proof of your life (if it's not a masterpiece, it won't survive!)。I would like to make that my goal.。　　　2012/2/18

 

 

 

I received an envelope from my younger brother who is at home.。ah、The example document has been created.、I casually looked at the front and saw that the address was my son's name.。What is it?

A postcard was included along with a simple letter from my brother.、What he showed me was、I wrote this when my son was in the 4th grade of elementary school.、ten years later、It was a postcard addressed to me when I was 20 years old.。I was told to write down a valid address even after 10 years.、I wrote down my parents' address.。Personally, I'm sure I'll move (rather)、The desire to do so) is also visible there.。

Even my younger brother seemed taken aback.、It seems that not only us, but also the person himself had completely forgotten about it.。The postcard had a photo printed on it when the three of us went to Nasu.。Take the picture yourself using a tripod、At school, he wrote on postcards that he printed himself using a computer.。

ten years is short。From our parents' point of view、Children only grow physically, but their insides don't seem to have grown at all.。But the kid was 10 years old when he wrote that.。A future with the same length as your life up to that point, etc.、It must be far, far away。That's true even in light of my own memories.。

At the end of the postcard, it says, ``Dad.、I wonder how your mother is doing?。I hope he's not dead.''。For children、parents are more important than the country、closer than society、He is an irreplaceable person who protects me through my blood.。Without it, we cannot build dreams for the future.。parent's misfortune、bad luck、Incompetence casts a shadow on a child's future.。for a moment、What kind of umbrella should I carry?、I searched my heart to see what kind of shadow it was casting.。

The children who lost their parents in the Great East Japan Earthquake lost even that shadow.、I think again。What does "I hope I'm not dead" mean?、It also shows that children feel this reality in their hearts.。Ten years from now, you may feel unlucky and think, ``I wish my father had been a more socially decent person.''。

Children can't choose their parents。That's why children themselves need ideals.。I don't like children who respect their parents (they don't respect them before that)。(From a child's perspective) As long as parents provide food and money, that's enough.。Using parents as a stepping stone、If you can create your own world, that's fine.。I'm thinking of leaving a time capsule for myself 10 years from now.。　2012/1/28
