I have been working with my young students at IPE Art Academy to make pieces on the theme, ひまわり Himawari (Sunflower) for the Aichi Triennale Arts festival. They were having so much fun, I decided to make a piece too. Each piece is mixed media, the children were encouraged to play in all art mediums and I was excited to see how different they all turned out.

"The Aichi Triennale is an urban international art festival, held every three years since 2010 across a wide region including the Aichi Arts Center and other city venues. The festival will span a wide range of fields, synthetically exhibiting performing art and other forms together with a contemporary art core, and make Aichi Prefecture a beacon of the artistic avant-garde. The goals of the festival are to contribute to the global development of culture and art by creating and disseminating cutting-edge art. Also, bringing culture and art into people’s daily lives by promoting and providing education on contemporary art. And lastly, enhancing the attractiveness of the region by vitalizing culture and art activities."
