@kansaiarts Please take a look at the making-of for the cultural festival leaflet cover ✨Kansai Culture and Arts High School#fyp#MakingCultural FestivalHigh school student#IllustrationTranslation#CapCut
My Cutest Part – FRUITS ZIPPER
How about asking the person creating the cover of the cultural festival leaflet to film their work process in advance and then showing it as a making-of video on the day of the event? It’s surprisingly fun to watch how the finished piece actually came together.
You make all sorts of discoveries, and it’s a great chance for people to appreciate the creator’s effort.
If they’re aiming to become an illustrator, it could also serve as good self-promotion.
Let’s introduce the creator’s profile as well and make sure this stands on its own as one of the attractions.
Journey to the WestNEW!
This work is based on a Chinese novel and features distinctive characters such as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the monk Tripitaka.
In Japan, it has been adapted into films, TV dramas, and stage productions, and is loved by people of all ages.
Because each character’s personality is so clear, it should be easy to perform in a school festival play.
By preparing makeup and costumes that match each character, you can recreate the story realistically.
Decide which scenes to portray on stage while referring to past productions and other resources.
Singin’ in the RainNEW!
It’s the song that Trixie (Teddi Barra) sings in the Country Bear Theater: Vacation Jamboree musical show at Tokyo Disneyland.
The song is originally American, and a musical film using it as the title song was also released.
In that movie, Gene Kelly dancing in a heavy downpour is very famous and often cited as an iconic scene.
The sight of him closing his umbrella, smiling, and stepping gracefully in the rain will convey a positive message—“enjoy the moment”—to many people, even in a school festival setting.
An original theme song composed from scratch
Pack your youth into it! Here are ideas for creating a theme song from scratch.
A school festival is a special event that only happens once a year, right? If you’re wondering what to put on, we recommend producing a theme song for the festival! It’s not just for the music club or light music club—planning it with your class or the organizing committee is great, too.
Just imagining what kind of melody and lyrics it will have is enough to make your heart race, isn’t it?
Toothpick Art
Bring your ideas to life and complete your masterpiece! Here are some ideas for toothpick art.
Toothpick art is an artwork where you color toothpicks with paint and insert them into a panel to depict motifs or illustrations.
In the video, about 48,000 toothpicks dyed in eight colors are used to create fireworks, a highlight of the local area.
It could be fun to design and build pieces based on school motifs or iconic local scenery.
Visitors are sure to be moved by art created through students’ collaboration.
The world of colorful umbrella art
Decorations that amaze visitors! Here are ideas for a world of colorful umbrella art.
For those looking for decoration ideas using umbrellas, we recommend these unique and beautiful umbrella artworks.
How about decorating courtyards or entrances with colorful vinyl umbrellas? During the day, sunlight will cast vibrant shadows on the ground.
They also stand out beautifully against the evening sky, creating a memorable scene.
When hanging umbrellas at a height, be sure to incorporate them with safety in mind.
Giant mosaic
Let’s take on a mural! Here are some ideas for a giant mosaic.
When holding a school cultural festival, many schools set a theme or a main illustration, right? This time, how about expressing your theme or illustration as a giant mosaic using about 500,000 one-centimeter-square pieces of colored paper? All you need are colored paper, glue or double-sided tape, and so on.
Cutting and pasting the paper may seem tedious, but the finished work will make a strong impact and leave a dynamic impression.
