puts a brake on our free ideas.
However, I feel the greatest hindrance to our creativity is our own
fixed thinking.
These new types of art are created based on new sensitivity to the

Such innovative works are not always readily accepted by society. However,
if the rich expressive power of art can touch the sensitivities of viewers,

The exploration of oneユs field of specialty and the creation of advanced
work require a basic ability to express oneself visually. |
