Drawing! Fun!

Kisaragi-oneesan, Kisaragi-oneesan.

What's the matter, Suneko-san?

Today, I've decided to start art!

Wow, that's wonderful!

Ah, but I don't know how to draw...

What should I do? What should I do?

Then, for Suneko-san's sake, let's look into the workings of GA together!

GA?

It stands for Geijutsuka Art Design Class.

GA - Geijitsuka Art Design Class. "Art Design" is also one of the translations of "Geijitsuka"

Well then...

GA, Geijutsuka Art Design Class...

...begins now!

That was the introduction.

GA!

It's the morning greeting for students in GA!

I see...

GA!

Um ...Yamaguchi-san, right?

What are you doing over there?

I... just felt that it was a waste, so I gathered up some of it.

Some of what?

Cherry blossoms that fell but haven't withered. They're beautiful.

Let's hurry!

First bell.

Bag.

You forgot yours.

T-Thank you.

Ahh! I'm going to be late!

Huh? Why are you guys just standing there?

We weren't really...

Let's go!

Yes!

Second bell.

Like I'm going to lose!

GA, Geijutsuka Art Design Class. A class that studies Visual, Text lettering and other designing fields.

Because of that, there are many people here expressing their own style here, aren't there? Like in their fashion.

For better or for worse.

Of course! Those studying design should strive to look for their own style!

That's why we modified the design for our sports uniform!

Like this!

Isn't that against the school rules?!

It's okay! We just modified the inside!

So we can just flip it like this.

You're like Edo City residents when they were banned from luxury goods.

GA!

Of course, in GA, we also study drawing and technique.

Huh? Why is it mixing with the color underneath?

Ah, Kisaragi-dono, poster colors isn't made for layering, so it will dissolve and mix if you do it.

I thought poster colors were oil-based?

Actually, it's hydrophilic. It uses pigments, so the color is vivid, though.

Then it's not fit for use on cellophane and fabric, isn't it?

It's so hot!

Phew~

Ah! There's mold in the paint!

But I only used it once...

Blue-green and orange poster colors tend to get moldy easily.

Okay! Then let me take away the mold for you!

Special skill! Noda-chan Aura!

Noda-chan Aura!?

Here, it's all right now. I've infused this poster color with my energy!

But what exactly did you do?

With this aura of mine that acts like a sun, I killed off the moist mold in a flash!

Oh! Amazing!

Starting from now, draw Mars' bust in five seconds!

Impossible!

1 WEEK LATER

Well, of course that would happen... I guess.

Close the lid gently!

Ah, it solidified.

That poster color is old, so just clean it out.

Okay!

Hey, hey, Noda-chan, look at this! If I paint brown on top of this...

Oh! It's a pudding!

Use some white tube paint to make the cream...

And use paper to make cherry, chocolate, and some crepe!

A la mode change!

Let's put some more cream on it!

You two, I know it's fun to fool around, but we're in a painting class now, so focus on painting.

Use the eraser to make some rubber scraps...

Then collect it up.

Mix it with water paste...

And use paint and crayon powder to give it color...

And it's done!

Oh, Homemade knead erasers!

That brings back memories! I haven't made one since primary school-

Stretchy!

It doesn't have scent added though.

It can't erase anything, though, but still!

Hey, you guys, it's fun to fool around and all, but you know-

Don't do it. You'll end up just like them.

Design is probably personality! Individuality!

AIDMA Law, color composition, placement, ignore all of it!

No, I don't think you should ignore them...

Move your brush by inspiration!

N-No, it wasn't on purpose! It was an accident!

Ah, you made her cry, you made her cry.

Idiot! No, I didn't! Shut it, Noda!

D-Don't mind! Don't worry about it!

It's okay! If it's you, then surely you would be able to make a better drawing than this one!

Ah! Don't cry. Please don't! Big sister will buy you something sweet afterwards, so please!

It's hard to tell if Tomokane is manly or not...

Anyway, apologize already.

I'm sorry.

Tomokane! What's the next class?

One second, it's..."Shi, su..."

"Suneko" -> Natural Cats "Sobyou" -> Sketching

"Suneko!"

"Sobyou," right?

Sobyou, then it's going to be sketching and the sort.

Pencils and sketchbook...

Would we need the rough sketchbook?

First art room.

Let's take the window-side seats in the rear.

All right, let's go.

Window-side seats are the best!

Hey, let's get going, Kisaragi.

Huh?

Kisaragi?

What's the matter?

Oh, what were we talking about?

You see, actually Kisaragi-chan was imagining "Suneko".

How did you know?!

That one was also an example, right?

Yes.

There are many kinds of them, even in school.

Yes.

What are you doing, Kisaragi-chan?

Pictogram searching, she says.

She's preparing for design class today...

Kisaragi-dono, here.

What are pictograms?

D E S I G N A S S I G N M E N T

S I Z E

P I C T O G R A M P R O D U C T I O N

O r i g i n a l

Pictogram is one of the modern visual symbols.

Signs and symbols in public spaces and computer icons are just examples of the many.

You mean company logos too?

Those are monograms, symbols made from letters.

Pictograms are as the name suggests, from pictures.

Huh?

Oh, what were anagrams then?

That's a wordplay by interchanging letters in a word.

Changing the four letters in Noda Miki.

Noda Miki -> Kinomi Da (It's a nut!)

"It's a Nut!"

Ah, I see.

And, how many kilograms is Namiko-san?

Oh, um...

That was close!

I was about to tell them...

Pictograms have many designs depending on their information and purpose.

For example, using this typical human pictogram as the starting point...

By changing the shape, theme, and color...

Oh wow, they changed to look like different ages and gender!

Wha?!

Then you can make pictograms of individuals too?

NODA-CHAN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOMOKANE-SAN

NODA-CHAN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOMOKANE-SAN

NODA-CHAN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOMOKANE-SAN

If it's that detailed, then it becomes a picture...

NODA-CHAN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOMOKANE-SAN

It has to be more symbolic.

Done!

NODA-CHAN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOMOKANE-SAN

NODA-CHAN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOMOKANE-SAN

Kisaragi-chan's pictogram.

Mine is Namiko-san's!

I wonder why.

I can imagine what it would be like even before I see it.

Same here, I don't see it but I feel like slamming her.

Yay

Tomokane is like this!

Noda is like this!

As you can see, if easily recognized themes are present, then it's no problem.

But let's have Sotoma-sensei as an example.

Hey, you guys! Hand in the assignment from last time by today! Got it?

What would you two do?

I have this kind of impression.

That's if you took the theme from his job as a teacher.

This is what I thought.

That is if you took his theme from what you see daily.

Victim

Victim

But you can also do it the other way around.

First, you decide on some words.

D R I N K S

T O T A K E M E D I C I N E

B E D R O O M

B E D R O O M

Then, you make a pictogram from imagination.

Oh, so they turn out that way.

Then, Tomokane-dono, let's have a try.

* CONSTRUCTION SITE * SHOWER * BASEBALL

* CONSTRUCTION SITE * SHOWER * BASEBALL

* CONSTRUCTION SITE * SHOWER * BASEBALL

Okay!

Like this?

What is this "Find the difference" game?

If you want hints, we have things like this.

So these are pictograms too.

Road signs are generally the same around the world.

Ah, the same... sure...

Similar pronunciation & kanji

Did you need this?

Warning Sign: Slippery (could also mean to fall)

I don't need it! Sorry for my fail!

Oh wow.

A diagonal line means prohibited right?

Yeah.

Like no smoking and no cell phone using.

I'm sure you've seen them before.

Ah...

This icon is for no petting and

...this is for no elopement.

I see.

Don't just simply trust everything.

Arrgh!

I can't pass!

DANGEROUS GOODS PROHIBITED

I don't know why but I can't go any further!

DANGEROUS GOODS PROHIBITED

DANGEROUS GOODS PROHIBITED

These yellow triangle signs are supposed to tell the person to use caution.

How should I say...

All of them seem to meet painful ends.

Picto-san is so pitiful.

Picto-san?

Ah, I see.

Of course, he would want to escape.

Hey, hey, Noda-chan.

What is this pictogram for?

Hmm, from my imagination...

That's a symbol for "Public Evacuation Spaces".

I see. That's why!

Kyoujyu, what is that?

I've assorted pictograms from various genres on the table.

Adding ones I draw randomly, I make different pictograms.

Now then, use these two to make a new pictogram.

Um... like this?

I thought of this immediately.

Oh, it wasn't supposed to be like this?

What is that monster?

We can see each other's tendencies very well.

And how about you, Namiko-san?

I've finished already.

Look at the public trash bins outside.

They get all kinds of trash mixed together.

I somehow feel the urge to separate it.

So from what I feel everyday, I made different classifications for each trash can.

Bottles, cans, plastic bottles, recyclable paper, recyclable plastic, combustible trash, incombustible trash...

Are you going to submit them all as the assignment?

Have you decided on something, Kisaragi?

Oh, yes.

There's a sunny place in the back of this school building.

Sometimes I find cats relaxing there by chance.

I see.

Cat Appearance Area

I think she will make a pictogram like this.

A la mode change!

Was today's sketch using charcoal?

Yes. We need charcoal and an easel.

And we need mayonnaise too!!

Mayonnaise?

To put it on bread crusts and eat it.

The bread is used as an eraser for charcoal sketching.

Bread crusts mustn't be flavored with mayonnaise!

Tomokane-san, that wasn't the point to comment on!

Oh, this is troubling.

I can't finish my art assignment at all.

You seem to be troubled.

Who are you?

If you have anything about assignments, leave it to us!

I am the captain, Red for Sketch!

Yellow for technique!

Magenta for coloring!

Cyan for effects...

Monochrome for touch up.

We shall dye it!

Here I go!

You know black and white are colorless.

It's one of CMYK, so it's no problem.

Rather, why does the leader have to be red?

Cat ears...

Huh? Our combination is messed up from the beginning?

Let's get it going, Irodorangers!

Our enemy today is this!

Assignment for art (no theme) TYPE-B2 print

Let's put in some spirit and screw it!

Yeah!

First, Red will...

like this...

design!

We shall go with this!

Go!

Eh, it looks somewhat senseless.

But it's the captain's orders....

After the rough sketch is done,

get going on the undercoat immediately!

Go, Magenta!

Roger that!

Finished!

Next comes...

STOP

We can't do anything until it dries.....

HOUR LATER...

HOUR LATER...

HOUR LATER...

HOUR LATER...

Color Warriors Irodorungers

Color Warriors Irodorungers

All right, it should be enough!

Next comes Yellow and Cyan!

Right!

Yes!

All right, masking is done!

It's all ready, Cyan!

Oh, all right!

Then with my spattering...

Spattering?

That's so cheap and cowardly!

We're not grade schoolers or middle schoolers!

Boo, boo!

What other choice do I have?!

Airbrushes costs a lot!

All right then.

Don't put too much paint on it and make small drops, okay?

Else there will be bubbles.

Fine then.

Yes, ma'am.

All right then.

Here!

Finished!

Ah!

Gradation!

Wait, what?!

Uh... the paint is dripping off...

Oh, since I painted the undercoat without thinning, it takes longer to dry than usual!

Thin poster colors with water before using!

Derore-n!

Oh no, even the tape is stuck to it!

Ugh, GA is screwed!

What do we do, Red?

The situation is all out of control, Red!

Final attack!

"Aren't these somewhat tasteful and nice too?!"

That's what they always say when you fail, right?

Damn, then it's our time to use the secret tactic!

You're our savior, Monochrome!

Understood!

Splash

I thought up of the story up to there.

But the assignment won't disappear in the end anyway.

Even if we paint over it.

Damn, the Color Warriors are useless.

Mornin', Kyoujyu!

Yes.

I'll do the rest.

Oh, thank you, Kyoujyu-san.

Oh geez, I forgot the tape for varnishing.

Do you have it, Kyoujyu?

Yeah, somewhat like that.

Like that?

Is it like that?

Masa, this textbook about color...

Masa?!

The kanji 雅 for Miyabi, Kyoujyu's first name, can also be translated as Masa

Our next class is in the second art room.

Oh.

What are you doing there, Noda?

When you see corners like this, don't you feel like fitting yourself in?

It's relaxing.

I'm leaving you.

Oh...

I'll go throw out the trash.

Oh, thank you, Kyoujyu-san.

Later!

Visual Light

I will begin a lecture on coloring.

Let's imagine there are two apples here.

We have red apples and blue apples.

Then why does this apple look red?

Do you know, Kisaragi-dono?

Oh, yes...

Well... um...

The reason why the apple looks red...

Because the tree fairy painted the apple with red paint?

Is she naturally like this?

Or is she being stupid? Should I cut in?

Kisaragi-chan, that's wrong.

In normal sense, you might think the color is attached to the apple.

In reality, human eyes up here pick up the color from the light.

Visual Light

The light that lets us see the color is called visible light.

Visual Light

Visual Light

Thus, for the normal human eye, our everyday sight looks like this, however...

Animals like dogs see it like this, and...

Aliens might see it in a color like this.

Today, we experience computer graphics for the first time!

And what do we do?

Well, I guess you draw pictures and make designs with a computer.

We never had an art class where we didn't have to bring art supplies.

Computer!

CG, huh?

It seems like we're studying to be real professionals!

Now we can make those Hollywood movies and stuff!

Hollywood movies?

But moving between classrooms is more cumbersome than I imagined.

Well, the computer room is within the university building.

Oh, it's the technical university students.

He was looking at me, right?

Is he in love with me?

No, it's probably the uniform.

So far!

Thirty seconds until the bell rings.

The far-right end of the second floor is the computer room.

All right!

Let's hurry!

Oh!

What's the matter, Noda?

What's the matter... Noda...?

Should Noda-chan be waiting after school?

Those guys might pick me up!

Do as you may...

Computer room

First, we need practice to get used to it.

Starting by making a simple picture using the tool on the left...

Oh, I made something!

I didn't want to do this kind of thing!

When you're done, you're supposed to print it out and hand it in.

You're so fast, Masa.

Hmm...

Are you done, Kisaragi?

Using the shape tool, somehow...

Doesn't it look like Noda?

Kisaragi-chan!

Here's the real deal.

How was your debut to computers?

It was so hard!

But with computers, you can redo stuff so many times, so it's very hassle-free and useful.

Since Noda isn't going to do tricks like mixing paints behind your back.

Yes, that's right!

And you don't have Tomokane destroying your works.

That's absolutely correct.

The next week

Huh?

What's the matter, Noda-dono?

My data from last week can't be found.

The computers here are used by middle school, high school, and university students.

Sometimes, they delete other people's data.

Darn.

Was your data deleted too?

Someone did this to Noda-chan...

Hey, wasn't the pictogram assignment due today?!

I handed it in.

Handed in ages ago.

Wha?!

I handed it in.

Seriously?

Arrgh, what should I do?!

Hurry up and finish it.

I have no option but to leave it to the god of randomness!

Appear before me, the cards from back then!

Don't cheat...

This, this, and this!

That's quite a difficult one.

I have to do it!

Done!

I'm going to hand it in!

Are those the pictogram assignments?

Yes.

Hmm...

Did we have any secrets?
