WROKSHOP LIST for ”Gift of Art Workshop” Project
1:［Hanayuki (Blossom in Snow) / Kazuhito Sahara］
Workshop contents：
We will use snow-covered land as a big canvas and draw a gigantic flower together. We will sprinkle biodegradable paints, petals, colored paper, all over the snow. When we are done with our creative process, we will gather together on top of a tall building or a hill to enjoy the picture on the white snow canvas. Everyone in town will be invited to our very original ohanami (flower blossom viewing) in the winter wonderland. The colors of the flower will fade and change with each snow fall as we watch. The materials will freeze as they get covered with additional snow, only to be re-discovered again as the spring approaches and snow melts.
