夏のアート&ミュージック　ワークショップ　DAY3

3日目は親子でご参加頂けるワークショップの最終日です。

香りとアートから始まった一日。
色々なものを見て、香りを楽しむ、味見をする、音楽や自然の音を聴く、そして直接触れるという五感を存分に使った3日間となりました。

午後には家族で行なうファミリーコラージュを行ないました。
親子や仲良しなお友達とのつながりが感じられる素敵な作品となりました。

また、ワークショップを終え、保護者の皆様からこのような感想が寄せられました。

｢始めは絵が好きだったけど、自由に音楽を奏でる楽しさを知った！｣

｢絵や音楽を通して自分を表現することで、自信が芽生えたようです。｣

この3日間を通して、大きく成長した子どもたちの笑顔はキラキラしていました。

参加者全員で創り上げたワークショップ、とっても楽しかったですね！

Day 2 Tokyo Sudbury Art+Music Workshop

夏のアート＆ミュージックワークショップ２日目の様子です！

このワークショップは参加者全員で作り上げるワークショップなので、最初から全てが決まっている事は何もありません。
参加者の気持ちや表現したい事によってワークは変化していくのです！
では、今日はどんなワークショップかのぞいてみましょう！

It’s a beautiful hot August morning. Campers are out in the garden making rattling musical instruments from leaves, twigs found in the garden as well as craft supplies, such as beads and origami papers. Later campers will use these instruments to inspire their painting.

Did you ever try to draw people while they are jumping on a trampoline? These campers did while jumpers bounced to the rhythm of their homemade instruments. Then they used our favorite Swiss Caran d`Ache water crayons to color in their action-packed gesture drawings.

Day 1 Tokyo Sudbury Art+Music Workshop

Our first day of summer camp begins with an improvisation jam session, then a treasure hunt in Tokyo Sudbury:s lush green sanctuary — the garden. Here campers hunt for the Genesis Cards. This is their introduction to the 44 rainbow colored cards that will be used to inspire and delight children in the art sessions to come.

Story-telling with the Genesis Cards

Each camper receives 5 cards chosen at random. Campers put the cards in any order they like to create a story. By the time we were finished, we had traveled to distant galaxies and deep into the gardens and oceans of planet earth.

Painting Color by Color

A brand new sketchpad is like the beginning of an adventure. The first picture will set the tone for what comes next. Campers begin their first page with their favorite color, then proceed on the next page to paint with two, and next three colors that were picked as favorite colors. Children named what these colors meant to them. Here we see Nao:s river and Seiji:s gold flag. With the introduction of each color campers are ready to tell a story. Here you see Nao:s camping picture and Seiji:s animal in the woods. It:s interesting to note how Nao and Seiji were so enjoying each others company that there are many striking similarities between these animal-filled landscapes. Finally Genesis Cards hidden under these landscapes were revealed and to the surprise of the children, they saw exciting similiarities that they had no way of knowing before hand.
