=** みなさん、こんにちは！ **= =Welcome to the subject, Japanese Modern Art (LAJA), at Sanderson Middle School, NT Australia! =

Hopefully you already know that modern art in Japan is not all about anime and manga.
Music, dance, theatre, pottery, calligraphy, textiles, film, photography, fashion, architectural design and digital art design are just a few other popular Japanese art forms and there are many, many more to discover.

However, due to popular demand at Sanderson, we will focus on Japanese アニメ(anime), まんが(manga) and プリクラ(purikura) during this 10 week course.

In this course students will learn about:

 * the history of //manga// and //anime (//including Japan's most influential //manga// artist Osamu Tezuka)
 * how //manga// and //anime// have influenced countries outside Japan
 * how to create your own //manga// and //purikura//
 * the importance of onomatopoeia in //manga// and //anime//
 * and much more!

Evidence of learning is provided through:

 * A report on //manga// and //anime// and how it has influenced artists around the world
 * Creation of an original comic inspired by //manga//
 * Creation of individual //purikura//
