たとえ漫画や絵の道ではなくとも、とくに子どもたちにこの道場を通じて「できた!」の積み重ねをしてほしいと考えています。漫画を生み出していくことは決して簡単なことではありません。
失敗しては書き直しの繰り返しで、挫けてしまうこともあるかと思います。それでも最後まで頑張って作品に仕上げて、みなさんに見ていただく。
その「できた!」の積み重ねによって、自信をつけて、どんどん変化していく生徒の様子を見てきました。小学生からまんが道場に通っている生徒は、部活も美術部に入り、公募した作品が賞にも選ばれるなど、着実に実力を付け、自信をつけているようです。
WEB上で公開する場をつくることで、「達成感」を味わう機会を作り続け、未来のクリエイターを育む活動を続けていきたいと思っています。
Through
online exhibitions, we are expecting our students to feel “I DID IT”.
Even if they will not have a career in manga or painting, I would like students and especially children to accumulate the feelings of accomplishments.
Because it can be tough sometimes to create comics but there are many to learn from the procedure.
There will be times when they make mistakes and have to rewrite and rewrite... which can make them frustrated. However, they
at last show their final works to people through exhibitions. By accumulating the feeling of accomplishments such as “I DID IT” and confidence, we have seen many students have changed in a great way. Students who have been
attending our Dojo since elementary school have joined the art club, and their works have been selected for prizes.
We hope to continue online exhibitions run and make the places where our students can show their works
and experience a sense of accomplishment and help to be creators of the future.
