In art education, lines are the main element that builds the entire artistic and aesthetic expression.

For example, the lines in this work create two visual worlds that are contrasting but complementing each other. On the left side, the perpendicular lines descend in an orderly and repetitive rhythm, as if to describe the order, discipline, and pressure that builds up from top to bottom. There is a sense of tense silence, like a long breath being held. On the right side, on the other hand, the curved lines form a more fluid and dynamic groove. They appear to move in gentle vortices, creating an impression of movement and flowing freedom. The visual rhythm in this section is more expressive and emotional, as if following a wave of feelings or changing lines of thought.

The combination of blue, green, and black colors accentuates the mysterious and profound atmosphere. Each line looks like a fine strand of thread pulled with full intensity, creating a rich, almost tactile depth of texture. The contrast between rigidity and flexibility, between straight and curved lines, creates a visual dialogue about structure and freedom, about attachment and release.

These lines are not just a play on shape, but rather a visual narrative of tension and harmony. These lines are for reflection: is life more often in the form of pressing straight lines or are they free-flowing curves? This is where the importance of fine arts education is taught in a subtle but powerful way, the lines created are able to be transformed into a reflection of inner experience and the dynamics of human emotions.

私の性格を線で表わうというテーマから和紙を使って熨斗を表現しました。日本の文化や和物が好きなので熨斗から水引を連想しあわじ結びをしました。

私は一度決めたらゴツゴツつき進むのでそういった性格を結び目が固いあわじ結びで表現しました。一方で大ざっぱ、雑な性格でもあるのできっちりとした紙はオレンジの画用紙のみにしてガサツな過程が目立つ和紙を使いました。

Its crimson arrival is no coincidence—

it is the spirit you called for, answering in quiet grace.

The cardinal does not forget you,

nor do the ones you once held close.

In your darkest hours,

the cardinal will be there—

a flicker of warmth, a memory in motion,

a promise that love endures.

to new territories.

宝物です。

The community-based art education project Rievdan-Muutos (change) in Vuohčču (Vuotso) 14.5.26. Korsström-Magga, Korinna.

A line of feet, a line of hope,
In dusk they rise, in dust they cope.
Beating drums, a lantern glow,
Marks the thread where spirits flow.

Each step a stitch, each voice a seam,
They walk awake, they walk a dream.
Skyline bends, a sacred sign—
The heavens drawn in human line.

No words. No numbers. No graphs. Just a series of vertical coloured bars, showing the progressive heating of our planet in a single, striking image.

The climate stripes were created by Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading in 2018.

They show clearly and vividly how global average temperatures have risen over nearly two centuries,https://www.reading.ac.uk/planet/climate-resources/climate-stripes#:~:text=How%20do%20they%20work%3F,that%20were%20hotter%20than%20average.

Thank you everyone who participated in our event!
