EGAKU for
Kids & Youth
Meguro Ward Takaban Elementary School
This year marked the sixth implementation of EGAKU as a part of "Yume Plan Takaban" of Takaban Elementary School. 23 students participated and drew their hearts.
"If my heart was a color, what would it be? What kind of shape would it be? If it were a world, what would it contain?" Through creative practice, each student reflected inwardly on their hearts, resulting in the depiction of 23 worlds of the heart.
Below are some comments made by the students:
"I was able to draw my heart freely."
"Mixing colors was fun. Mixing colors made different colors and I was able to understand my heart."
"It was fun to draw while thinking about colors and shapes. It was interesting because everyone's works were different."
"Everyone's colors were pretty. It was beautiful. I'm happy that I like to draw."
Theme: Let's Draw Your Heart!
