For 2 days, on Nov. 16 and 17, “Encounter with Art in Minami-Soma” was held at the Lifelong Learning Center in Fukushima-ken, Minami-Soma-shi, Haramachi.
Students of the Carving and Modeling course and Western Style Painting course used their skills to carry out different kinds of workshops.  The weather was beautiful and many families came to have fun.  The children carved wood or piled stones and did some serious artwork.  Seeing the children who proudly showed off the accessories and objet d’art that they had made, the students were glad they had held the event and seemed to have enjoyed it, too.
It was an event in which the students reaffirmed their confidence in the fact that there are things they can do through the art they are studying.  (Akagi)
