秋吉台国際芸術村 Akiyoshidai International Art Village レジデンス・サポート・プログラム 2017-2018
77Contributing text for a workshopA few weeks after confirming a workshop at our school on January 30th offered by Sujin Lee, an invited artistfrom overseas at Akiyoshidai International Art Village, my students and I myself were longing for the day. Oursecond grade students took a workshop last year. A theme of the workshop then was to discover “traces ofsomething” in our mundane everyday life and to take picture of them. From images taken inside and outsideof our school by our students such as “footprints left on ground” and “moss spreading out around an end ofdownpipe”, we realized meanings of illusional aesthetics in things.Then, this year’s workshop came back to us again. Entitling “mysterious collaborative project” and given freechoices of materials, our students started to create abstract objects integrating with nature. They were puzzledat the beginning but continued to attempt to create works with cardboards, wire, and drawing papers, amongothers. When they came across some difficulty, they actively asked for advices by Sujin Lee and some othersaround. Our classroom was filled with smiles and feeling of innocence which one can recall when they playedin a sandbox with a scoop from their childhood. “Yes, this is it.” Once again, sharing this creative atmosphere, Irealized genuine fascination in creation that one may have forgotten.After completing the objects, we all went outside and tied them on trees by yarns and also put together somememorable items of each students and completed an installation. It was a moment when life was put into theillusional collaborative work by entangling them with colorful yarns, though each single piece of work wascompleted work. If we were a bird in the sky looking down at the work placed in a part of Shuho Jr. High School,I wonder how it would have been seen.- Last year, we observed tiny subjects with “eye of insects” and then this year, we appreciate work of art byoverlooking with “a bird’s eye”. -I was a type of teacher who has been persistent to educational style depending on innovative educationalmaterials to get students’ interests and realized that it was an opportunity to think back “the origin of creation”and “nature of art education” that I had almost forgotten. Without doubt, needless to say, it became a valuablemoment for our students to experience something special that they didn’t have in regular classes.In new educational guidelines, it is promoted to have further cooperation with family and community life, whichanticipates “socially open educational process” according to “subjective and interactive deep learning”. I wouldlike to actively practice cooperative education with community members and natural environment in our Shuhotown, one of Geopark towns in Japan.Looking forward to another workshop in this time of next year…Mine municipal Shuho Jr. High SchoolAssistant principal (Art department)Junji Nii
