Let's make a workshop for children-Challenge three-dimensional drawings!

"Wake-up picture" is a simple model that expresses the architecture three-dimensionally by assembling Japanese paper with drawings. It has been made in Japan since the Momoyama period. In this workshop, we will assemble a picture of a tea room set up in gallery space, color it, and create one work in the world. This is a great opportunity to learn the concept of architecture, where three-dimensional things are broken down into two-dimensional ones.
