Come to Atelier Wanda exhibition

I would like to immediately enter the art gallery and event space on the 7th floor where the Atelier Wanda exhibition is held!

There were many expressive works.

A work depicting memories of creatures in the school that I met during my six years of elementary school.
The memory starts moving colorfully.
You can feel the sound of water flowing around and the smell of grass.

A work depicting a fantastic Pegasus running around。
Pegasus dancing in the sky without worrying about time seems to be free and fun.
From the shine of the eyes, the movement of the body, the state is transmitted.

A work that depicts a scene of my brother and younger brother with a warm heart.
The younger brother's cute smile can't be helped.

This is a work depicting the memories of dancing at the athletic meet.
With the singing voice of the Soranbushi, a large school of fish floods the ocean.

Here is a portrait of Marilyn Monroe style.
Isn't headquarters Andy Warhol too depressed?
This is kinder Monroe and I personally like it.
Coloring is unique!

This is a work inspired by the bedroom of Van Gogh Arles.
If you look closely, you can see cute animals and flowers on the wall.
The name is "kate's room"。

It is a student of Atelier Wanda who made such wonderful works.

What is Atelier Wanda?

Atelier Wanda is a painting workshop in Hiroo, Shibuya-ku.
We value the individuality of each child and teach them carefully in small groups.
The concept is "a fun learning" painting classroom.

Interview with Atelier Wanda's representative, Hiroko Tone

What kind of display is it?

We display works produced by children in junior high school from the age of 3 who are attending the classroom.
Until kindergarten children make works using crayons and acrylic paint, and elementary school students and more draw on canvas.
The painting is a collage work that is closer to craft.
The base material is made of paper clay and the texture is given using a material called glossy medium that is used together with acrylic paints. Some children submit works created in the classroom through free study at school. 。

What do you want to convey to your children through your work?

Rather than seeking the fineness of the picture, I teach with a special emphasis on drawing with fun .

The ability to think about how to devise a way to convey your thoughts to others through paintings and crafts ,
I want them to nurture a variety of abilities, including the ability to plan and move things forward.
I think it will be a great power for any profession when it comes to society.
Even if you take one painting material to use, instead of deciding everything here, we are taking the style of suggesting some but ultimately having the children decide.

What do you do in your regular classroom?

With a small group of 4 to 6 people, I am immersed in making works happily.
There are also children who have fun talking about the school and home while making the work.

What is the appeal of Atelier Wanda?

The attraction of Atelier Wanda is that children can create works while making the most of their individuality .
The children are thinking and producing by themselves, not by my instruction, so there are a lot of wonderful works that can not be unconventional.
It is characterized by the fact that there are few people who are withdrawn, and some children are moved from a distance even if they move.
It is very grateful to have these charms spread by word of mouth.

About 200 works

About 200 works were exhibited at the venue.

Conclusion

Atelier Wanda exhibition held on the 7th floor of Ginza Takagi Building.
All of the works on display were just works that made children feel that they made it with great fun.
It was also impressive that the children who participated in the workshop freely expressed the universe with ideas not found in adults. The energy of drawing the children's works is also energetic and courageous Will give you
