While it is important to spend time creating artwork to cultivate patience, using materials that solidify quickly to try various patterns and expand imagination is also crucial in art lessons.

In the resin workshop, since the resin won’t solidify if too much resin colour or glitter is added, students can learn the importance of measuring the amount of material used and sharing materials with peers.

First, we thoroughly taught the children the phrase “drop one drop of resin colour.” Using onomatopoeia and gestures, we firmly established the concept of “only one drop” to create a clear image in their minds.

After using glitter, we enforce the rule of properly closing the lid before using another type, especially in art classes where the budget is limited, establishing rules is fundamentally important.

*However, spilling ink or glitter should not be met with scolding! Once the instructions are settled, if someone uses too much or spills, it’s not on purpose.

This resin workshop is also popular among adult women and is held at a women-only café called “Frauencafé”. However, especially with adult women, without set rules, they might use materials without restraint, so I’ve created a poster like below and explain the rules while each person introduces themselves.

Communication barriers often exist, but people tend not to listen to someone whose name they don’t know, so despite the potential for delays, I want to have a dialogue with each individual.
