Ideas for exhibits recommended for school culture festivals. Film screenings, too.

A planetarium made by a high school student

@sapporoshinyo

We tried making a planetarium: third-year students in the inquiry course spent a year building it ⭐️Shinyou High SchoolPlanetariumExploration Course

♬ Planetarium (MP3 catalog number) – Ai Otsuka

You might think a planetarium would be hard to make without a dome or professional equipment, right? But with the right ideas, even high school students can create one! In this example, they’ve built a solid dome.

Is that black construction paper lining the inside? These days, affordable home planetariums are available, so if you’re making a smaller dome, you can actually set one up quite easily just by getting one of those.

A quiet, traditional planetarium is great, but you could also mix in lively visuals and use it as a photo spot, too.

Friends for life.

Lifelong Friends. ~A Challenge to Perfectly Cover Akizakura Students~ [Movie “One Week Friends.” MV] [Calpis Commercial] [NHK toitoitoi / Me, a Cat / PythagoraSwitch] #YouTube Koshien

Let’s create an epic masterpiece that will become a lifelong memory! Here are some ideas for “Lifelong Friends.” Many of you probably have a strong desire to get serious about making videos.

This work was reportedly created over about two months after being planned by the class.

Not only will it remain memorable as a finished piece, but the time you spent dedicating yourselves to video production with your cherished friends—time that is truly valuable—will also stay in your heart, without a doubt.

Give it a try!

Papercut art is delicate, translucent, and beautiful, isn’t it? How about putting some on display? A single piece is lovely, but layering multiple papercuts or placing colored paper beneath them can also be stunning.

Simply exhibiting them is great, of course, but adding backlighting or creating a photo spot using papercuts could make it a popular attraction.

If you stack photocopied templates and cut along them, it seems like you can achieve clean cuts—why not give it a try?

Karakuri device

A machine that rolls dice (I tried making one)

Why not try making and exhibiting a mechanical contraption? When you hear “karakuri machine,” some of you might think of a Rube Goldberg–style device.

Those kinds of setups can use many different power sources, but in this video we introduce a contraption that uses various types of gears.

You may not often get a chance to handle gears yourself, but there are many kinds of gears and combinations of them.

If you make it not just for display but in a form that can be operated, visitors can actually touch and manipulate it themselves.

deco chari (decorated bicycle)

I tried exhibiting at the school festival.

A trucker’s pride: the decorated “dekotora.” Since trucks are out of reach for students, let’s make a decorated bicycle—“dekochari”—using a commuter bike and put it on display.

That mix of cool-and-kitschy will probably be a big hit with viewers.

Adding LED lighting will make it feel authentic.

You could also set up a casual time-trial section, and a photo booth where people who want to ride can hop on for a commemorative picture—sure to liven things up.

Take inspiration from stylish dekotora decorations and get creative with your build!

Dried Flower Art

Store interior decorated with dried flowers! [Dried Flower Interior] [Florist Vlog]

How about an exhibit that stylishly decorates the interior with dried flowers? That said, buying all the materials for dried flowers can get quite expensive.

In that case, why not try drying plants like pampas grass growing along the riverbank, or actively use dried versions of flowers and plants from your garden? Using spray paint to unify the colors is also a good idea.

You could also try using them as interior decor for a café or other venues at a school festival.

3D Face Craft

Let's make a face with construction paper! #PaperRelief-2 #Arts&Crafts #PaperRelief #EasyIdeasWithEverydayMaterials <<Part6-2>> by M.C.Y. Atelier

3D face craft—this is fascinating.

It’s just that the students’ and teachers’ faces are made out of three-dimensional paper, so why is it so amusing? To make these, you need a certain piece of software called Rokurokudaiou.

You also need front and side photos of the person you want to model, ideally at the same size.

It seems the software reconstructs the face photos into a 3D model, which you then print out as a flat template, cut, glue together, and turn into a three-dimensional face.

Once it’s finished, for some reason it really is funny.

There’s also a way to do this without using the software.
