[Report] Kids Creative Lab in Nishi-Azabu

From a CANVAS Facebook post

*******************************************

[Kids Creative Lab in Nishi-Azabu]
On Sunday, March 1, we held our “Kids-Only Museum” event.

At the “Kids-Only Museum,” countless works of art are created.
It’s the children themselves who are creating them. Their focus and the way they work are utterly serious.
Today, we’ve gathered some photos capturing them in the midst of their creative process.

Bending a straight straw to create the shape they envision.
Colorful origami paper changes shape with every fold.
Being careful not to squeeze out too much glue.
Shooting the cellophane tape with precision.
Challenging themselves to see how long they can make it.
Insisting on perfect symmetry between left and right.
Learning the importance of securing things in place.
Weaving delicacy into bold creations.

As these many actions built upon one another,
we once again produced a wealth of finished works.
