A glowing 3D sign made of Styrofoam

A glowing 3D sign made from Styrofoam is perfect for creating eye-catching effects.
Attach a template to the Styrofoam and cut out the outlines of the letters with a utility knife to give them a three-dimensional shape.
Spray with water-based paint in your preferred color, then use a soldering iron to melt the inside and create space for embedding LEDs.
Fix them in place with hot-melt glue, and your illuminated letter sign is complete.
It will stand out vividly even in dark places, making it overwhelmingly effective for nighttime stages and festival stalls.
Opening Movie Thief
https://www.tiktok.com/@o4yzu_/video/7410732777542372625How about creating an opening video inspired by the pre-show etiquette film “NO MORE Movie Thief”? When you think of “NO MORE Movie Thief,” the famous characters are the Camera Man and the Police Light Man who catches him, right? It’s also known for having no dialogue, with scenes expressed through pantomime and the cautions conveyed by narration.
Why not use this parody-style video to introduce the things you want people to be mindful of at the school festival and its theme? It even has dance-like elements, so it’s fun for the performers too!

A cover illustration using Copic markers that highlights overlapping colors and soft gradations to convey the warmth unique to hand-drawn art.
As water-based, opaque color markers, Copics can produce depth by layering even the same hue, allowing for three-dimensional shading on skin and clothing.
With thoughtful ordering of application, bleeding and unevenness can be embraced as expressive textures.
Gradients in the background are effective for evoking expanses like sky and grasslands.
By varying nib widths, you can both emphasize contours and render delicate patterns, adding narrative quality to the illustration.
Finish with white Posca or gel pen highlights to enhance reflections, completing a cover that brings the expression to life.

Let’s try expressing subtle shading using a variety of techniques! Here are some pen drawing ideas.
Pen drawings are something you can tackle with just a black pen and paper, without preparing digital equipment, paints, or colored pens.
However, creating shadows and depth with dots, lines, and hatching techniques does take some skill.
It’s a good idea to decide on a theme and composition in advance and make a rough sketch before you begin.
The delicate, beautiful nuances are the charm of pen drawings.
Take this opportunity to give it a try!
Daily life of a high school girl
@kansaiarts This story is a dramatized version of our everyday life.I tried acting it out#shortstory#fyp#foryou#06#07#08#09#jk#jk’s daily lifeShort Drama#littlegleemonsterKansai Culture and Arts High School#CapCut

Let’s try making a short drama! Here are some ideas for “A High School Girl’s Daily Life.” In recent years, more and more short dramas have been appearing on social media, so many of you might be interested in creating one yourselves.
These are brief story videos, typically 1 to 3 minutes long, designed to be viewed vertically on smartphones.
Give it a try.
While we’re showcasing videos that spotlight high school girls this time, it would be wonderful to adapt the concept to topics or themes that interest you.
Definitely try incorporating these ideas!

Grab attention with bold, impactful colors! Here are some ideas for hand-drawn POP designs.
You often see hand-drawn POPs in stores, and using them on covers is a surefire way to draw attention to the text.
First, use a bold pen to sketch the main outline, then use a fine pen to outline the letters.
By being intentional with your color palette, you can elevate the overall design.
Decide in advance which points you want to highlight and how to structure them, then give hand-drawn POP a try!
Blue and Summer
@daiki1240 [School Festival] Class Video “Blue and Summer 3-2 ver.” Watch the full version from the comments ✨Blue and SummeryouthClass videoCultural Festival @Mrs. GREEN APPLE
♬ Original track – Ryu – 07ryu_
This is a video project produced as a class video, themed around Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s hugely popular song “Ao to Natsu.” It depicts students earnestly dedicating themselves to their club activities, resulting in a piece that truly captures the essence of youth.
Even if it’s not about clubs, it would be great to film the preparation time for cultural festivals or school festivals.
Both the time spent making the video and the finished work itself become dazzling memories.
Be sure to preserve those unforgettable moments with your classmates as a work of art.
