Eye-catching! Interior decoration ideas to brighten up your school festival

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

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!

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!

Softly spreading, gentle hues are the hallmark here! Let us introduce some watercolor illustration ideas.

Watercolors are captivating for their delicate, fleeting tones.

With their translucent light colors, you can also create natural gradients.

In the video, a girl wearing a cute outfit with frills is being drawn.

You can really see the attention to detail in the color of her hair and eyes.

It also seems there are techniques to get closer to the image you have in mind by combining colored pencils and white ink pens.

Give it a try!

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 School Planetarium Exploration 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.

Tissue paper board

@hnhnhm_425
Tissue paper is also called thin paper. It takes patience, but the sense of accomplishment is outstanding! It’s easy, so give it a try! 🌸#Ayazu's A Birthday decorations Production Room of a Mother of Quadruplets　While the child sleeps　Life with children

At school festivals, you often make signs to show where events and activities are held.

This time, I’d like to share an idea for a brightly colored, eye-catching tissue-paper board that’s great for promotion.

All you need are a pencil, a piece of Styrofoam, and tissue paper in your favorite colors.

Cut the Styrofoam into the shapes of the pattern or letters you want, then decorate it by wrapping tissue paper around it with glue.

Twisting the tissue paper around a pencil takes time, but you’ll be amazed by the quality of the finished result.

It’s perfect for creating a sign with real impact.

American diner

Last school festival 😭🩷🩷🩷Cultural Festival Cultural Festival Preparations High school student American diner #ljk #05

An American diner where you can get creative with decorations and the overall vibe.

The staff’s costumes are also a great way to show your flair.

Let’s try recreating a classic, old-school American diner.

If you want to keep the menu simple, fried chicken, fries, and pancakes are recommended.

The simplest approach for all of them is to just heat them up in a microwave and serve.

For drinks, large-sized colas are perfect for intentionally giving it that American feel.

Give an immersive American-style diner a try!
