9月24日に、矢野南小学校とサクラサク、映像作家、デザイナーの皆様と共同で取り組んでいる、「やのみープロジェクト」の今年度最初の授業を実施しました！
▪今年度は「やのみーのなる木(仮称)」を作成
今年度は、小学校内の校舎と中庭を繋ぐ地域交流室に、木の形状アーチ「やのみーのなる木(仮称)」を作成することとなりました！アーチは前回と同様使われなくなった家具のほか、着られなくなった衣服(ジーンズ等)を染色し、花びらを表現する計画です。
▪グループに分かれて制作、ポスター作製
今回は6年生が参加し、家具解体や木材の取り付けを行う制作班、アーチ作成の経過を記録する映像班、地域の方々への広報を担うポスターを作成するデザイン班に分かれて製作を進めました。
制作班は、サクラサクの大工さんに教わりながら、木材を工具で取り付けていき、アーチの木に矢野南小の軌跡が感じられるような雰囲気が出来てきました。
また、花びらとなるジーパンを染める作業も皆で行いました！サクラサクの方々に教わりながら、自分たちの手で染色をし、一つ一つ濃淡の異なる花びらが出来上がりました。
他にもポスター作製では、次回の合同授業を地域の方々にも公開するため、授業を呼びかけるためのポスターを皆で考えました。次回は地域も巻き込んでさらにアーチを仕上げていきます！
On September 24, we held the first class of this school year for the “Yanomi Project,” a collaborative initiative with Yano-Minami Elementary School and Sakura Saku, a collective of carpenters, architects, filmmakers, and designers!
▪ This Year’s Theme: Building “The Yanomi Tree” (working title)
This year, we will create a tree-shaped arch, “The Yanomi Tree” (working title), in the community exchange room that connects the school building and the courtyard! As in the previous project, the arch will be built from furniture that is no longer in use. We also plan to dye old clothes that can no longer be worn, such as jeans, to make the tree’s flower petals.
▪ Group Work and Poster Making
This time, the sixth graders took part and split into three groups: a Construction Team, which dismantled furniture and attached the wood pieces; a Film Team, which recorded the arch’s progress; and a Design Team, which made posters to inform the local community.
The Construction Team learned from Sakura Saku’s carpenters as they used tools to attach the wood pieces. The arch’s tree is already starting to reflect the history and journey of Yano-Minami Elementary School.
Everyone also worked together to dye the jeans that will become the petals! With guidance from the Sakura Saku team, the students did the dyeing themselves, and each petal turned out with its own unique shade.
For the posters, the students came up with ideas together to invite local residents to our next joint class, which will be open to the community. Next time, we’ll get the whole community involved as we continue to finish the arch!
