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.
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.

It’s an arch design that will lift visitors’ spirits.
Definitely give it a try!
