TWS is holding "Summer Kids Workshop" by NAKANO Yusuke, who is a member of an art unit "paramodel", as a part of the Educational Program. The art unit is known for creating installations using "Plarail"; a set of railway toys, as well as making various objects and drawings. The workshop will focus on the color of "blue" which the artists often use in their works. The participants will learn about the different art works that use color of blue especially those ukiyo-e prints of KATSUSHIKA Hokusai, who was born in Sumida ward where the workshop will take place. After the lecture, kids will be drawing pictures in blue (Session 1) and will be making 3D objects by anything blue (Session 2). All the drawings and objects will be laid down at the studio to create a mysterious blue town with mountains and rivers. You can join both classes if you wish. Let's enjoy your creativity by observing and making art!

Message from artist
Searching about the blue color, it seems that famous painter who was born in Sumida, KATSUSHIKA Hokusai also had made drawings such as Mt. Fuji and Sumida river by using the blue color called indigo. Let's think about "blue" and this city, Sumida while creating the mistical town with full use of blue!
