“I Could Do That” – Video
Sometimes I am ashamed on the simplicity of my some of my artwork I like. I can hear the ‘I could do that’ from the heads around. And then a little voice come from the very bottom of my heart : Is everybody can copy some art work in idea? Yes. Will they want to reproduce it? Never. If they try to reproduce it for the fun of it, will it be easy? Because they don’t need to express it, so the work will be puzzling I guess.
Actually I guess those people will produce there own piece of work, wich is relly fine and enough. So let’s all try to reprocuce the blue painting of Barnett Newman
and see what is happening?!
That video is charming!
Painting gratitude?
People do think that painter create under pressure and tournament. Hmm look at that video to change your mind, the artist is painting gratitude!
How to be creative and make good art (Neil Gaiman speech)
Neil Gaiman is an english writter. A self-taugh artist, curious to explore the world through words. With his english style, he is giving advices to higher education graduates : how to be creative and make good art.
Full of truth, as usual :).
Craft and tools
My grand-fathers used to work in his garage at night. Near his car, was a whole room, full of tools put on walls like treasures. It was a hidden place, his secret garden where the smell of magic could be detected from the garden.
The place shown on that video recalls me his place.
A (old) taste of folk art (and craft)
It is a old video about folk art in tate Britain. I love so much folk art because it is made with love, and bring some freshness and draw a smile on my lips.
I hope you will enjoy it too 🙂
Do school kill creativity by Sir Ken Robinson
On my personal blog louEct.com – Don’t throw your old books!
Do you like to throw things? I don’t like it but I need it so I execute to keep a clean house.
Adding guesso coating (this is what you put before paint) on pages of some books I like allows me to keep the book and be fully happy of that. Once the coating is done, I have a brand new sketch book ready to use without being too ‘precious’ or ashamed to waste a blank page and allow me to just try, be crazy and see what is happening (did you ever had a Moleskine that you keep blank because the notebook is just too beautiful? I never do that with my old ready-to-paint books!).
