1. Break the Routines.

2. Benefit from the fate and the errors.

3. Think in diagram.

4. Not be allowed to be fascinated by the complexity and the technology. The technology is there to be used, that’s all. It is not necessary to look for the technological exploit. Only count the emotion.

5.Stay in the popular art. If we do not succeed in pleasing nor in be understood of the general public it is of our fault. The reaction of the general public is the most stimulating pressure. Preaching in the desert is useless.

6. Believe in the power of art to influence the reality. The art is meant to understand how, we and the world, works.

7. Persuade by the seduction rather than by the aggression. One of the offices of the art is to present a desirable world. In front of a representation of well-being and beauty, we measure all that the reality has of imperfect. And we think naturally about the means to eliminate the obstacles which separate us from this vision.

8. Constitute a network of people who understand your initiative and maintain similar ones. By discussing with others, you will discover ideas which you would never have conceived alone.

9. Transport the culture with yourself. And elaborate hybrids with outside cultures.

--------------------------------------------

1. Briser les Routines.

2. Tirer profit du hasard et des erreurs.

3. Penser en diagramme.

4. Ne pas se laisser fasciner par la complexité et la technologie. La technologie est là pour être utilisée, c’est tout. Il ne faut par chercher la prouesse technologique. Seule compte l’émotion.

5. Rester dans l’art populaire. Si on ne parvient pas à plaire ni à se faire comprendre du grand public c’est de notre faute. La réaction du grand public est la pression la plus stimulante. Il ne sert à rien de prêcher dans le désert.

6. Croire dans le pouvoir de l’art à influer sur la réalité. L’art est un moyen de comprendre comment fonctionne le monde et comment on fonctionne soi-même.

7. Persuader par la séduction plutôt que par l’agression. Une des fonctions de l’art est de présenter un monde désirable. Face à une représentation de bien-être et de beauté, on mesure tout ce que la réalité a d’imparfait. Et on réfléchit naturellement aux moyens de supprimer les obstacles qui nous separent de cette vision.

8. Constituer un réseau de gens qui comprennent votre démarche et entretiennent des démarches similaires. En discutant avec Les Autres, vous découvrirez des idées que vous n’auriez jamais conçues seul.

9. Transporter la culture avec soi. Et élaborer des hybrides avec des cultures extérieures.

I'm HAPPY, not just joyfull but really happy. Everything seems to go so well for me, artisticly ! In ONE month I have my FIRST solo exhibition ! I've decided to call it "Couleurs, lueurs'' (Colors, lights) I'll expose some stuff I already have in stock + a lot of brand new paintings !!! I want to produce artwork with a lot of hope and light
Also, I have a big project for august + a painting symposium + much more

Watch my gallery for the next months, it's gonna explose !

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Encore une fois, l'école et ses travaux interminables m'ont retenu loin de deviantart pendant plusieurs mois !! J'avais tellement de messages ça en était vraiment effrayant. Je suis désolée si je n'ai pas réondue a vos messages comme j'ai pris l'habitude de le faire)

Je suis HEURESE, pas juste joyeuse, mais vraiment heureuse Tout a l'air de tellement bien aller pour moi, artistiquement ! Dans UN mois, je vais avoir ma toute PREMIERE exposition solo ! J'ai décidée de l'appeller ''Couleurs, lueurs'' Bien sur je vais exposer quelques toiles qui dorment dans mon atelier + beaucoup de nouvelles toiles !!! Je veux produire des toiles encore plus pleine d'espoir
Aussi j'ai un méga projet d'exposition au mois d'aout + un symposium de peinture + beaucoup d'autres projets en suspens

Je vous invite a regarder ma gallerie pendant les prochains mois, parce qu'elle va exploser !

I've also decided to do community service each week, teaching drawing classes to high school droppers. what I fun experience, I love it ! Next session I only have photography art classes, the rest is for teaching and art history. It sounds relax too, so I'll take my spare time to make a production of paintings.

----------------

Finalement, ma première session d'université est terminée !! Ca l'a été vraiment amusant mais un peu trop relax a mon gout, c'est pour ça que j'ai décidée de m'occuper et de prendre toutes les opportunités s'offrant a moi. J'ai donc participé cet automne a deux expositions collectives et j'ai vendu ! J'ai même présenté mon travail dans un restaurant a montréal et été accepté pour exposer tout le mois de juin ! J'ai aussi decidé de faire du bénévolat en donnant des cours de dessins a des jeunes décrocheurs du niveau secondaire. C'est vraiment une expérience amusante et enrichissante. La prochaine session je n'aurai que des cours de photographies comme cours d'art, le reste des cours c'est de la théorie d'histoire de l'art ou d'enseignement. Ça s'annonce très relaxant, donc je crois que je vais profiter de ce temps libre pour produire beaucoup de nouvelles peintures.

I've started university two weeks ago, I'm really enjoying it. I'm only doing art classes, like video, drawing, painting, photo, art history The art teaching class will start next session. For now, I'm very motivated in improving my art, I need to reach an another level in my abstract work. I want to produce a lot too and I'm looking for places to expose and sell soon.
I'll be working hard for the next months, keep watching my gallery I'll try to fill it up with my new production.

I've read and did the famous book 'Drawing on the right side of the brain'. It helped me to get back to drawing. But I don't want to do real realistic/photographic drawing, it's not interesting at all.

So, I've decided to start a serie of experimental and emotive portraits. I asked my friends for the models and pictures. The fact that I know them well inspire me to paint their personnality

I wish I had more time for art...There so much things I want to explore at the moment. I have a pile of interesting books to read, I want to paint, draw, and write poesy and thougts! But just have a few hours between job and bed. I hate to feel artisticly restrain by time.
I feel like I won't produce a lot, but hey, it's busy summer!

cheers friends!

For this autumn, I have been accepted at the Université du Québec à Montréal in art teaching. It's a 4 years BAC where I'll do both a lot of art and of teaching theory. For sure, I'm very happy to go to university, but I will always miss my 2 years of cégep..

Between there's my summer...still working at an office doing computer work 8 to 5. Missing my boyfriend that is working away for all summer, except for weekends. It looks depressive, but I'll try to create to fill my boredom. It's time to refresh my drawing style.


Have all a nice creative summer!

When I came back to dA, I was very afraid cause I have 1 000 deviations to watch from my dA friends. So, I apologise myself if I didn't put comments on your recent works. I'll check later for sure.

and I promise I will paint and draw a few things by the end of the vacations!!

I think I’ll be entering a full-time art production phase.

School is so exciting this semester (year); we are totally free to create whatever we feel like in both sculpture and painting. No assignments at all, just people to guide you, that’s art school and I love it. I have tons of ideas and I swear I’ll explore in an evolved direction, rejoining both sculpture and painting. I think it’s going to be very interesting, and experimental...


I’m crazy in love with two music at this moment, I mean, I only listen to this.
Okay they are both totally different…
First, A silver mount Zion Memorial Orchestra and the Tra-La-La Band (former Godspeed you! Black Emperor) I saw them live like yesterday and it totally blew me away. These guys are so perfectly talented live; it’s a real musical experience, a lot of heart/art in their sounds and singings…and they are from Montréal
Second, Regina Spektor, a singer/pianist. A lot of charm, beauty and joy in her songs. She has a unique voice (I always adored singer with different voices, you know just like Bjork). I adore her brand new album ‘Begin to hope’ and I listen to the first tracks like 15 times a day. I can’t wait to see her live here in October; it’s going to be wonderful.


Passion. I’m totally artistically passionate these days, so I’ll take this to produce intensively

Life-Friends I love:

Thank youuu I'll use the subscriber features

Hey, it's already the end of the summer! Cégep is starting back in only 2 weeks. I'm really excited to come back to class and create full time! That's paradise.
I'm just a bit dissapointed how my summer ran away, well I guess that's what happen when you have a full full time job and you have an active social life at the same time. My production is so little compared to all the ideas I have my mind, I feel an explosion of abstract ideas..but I feel tired and busy at the same time. It's hard to have time to create...I guess everyone must feel like me.

Anyway, I promise that soon, very soon my gallery will fill up with brand new paintings. I have bought a lot of canvas and painting material last week


Thanks for encouraging me by visiting and adding comments to my artwork!!

I'll try to create at a regular rhythm...
even tought I'm working in a office doing pure boring paper job from 7h30AM to 5PM. I don't have much time
but at least I'm creating for the weekly challenges of ! And I think about big paintings and big projects I could do

I've started drawing seriously about 2 years and a half ago. I've started doing some abstract stuff, which were not bad! So I got Prismacolor pencils and discovered the passion of drawing. Then followed some acrylic paintings, my first oil kit, my first watercolors pencils. Within a few time I have been exploring different medium and a new passion.

Since I love art so much, I've decided last year to go in cegep in an art program. (two years before attending to university) I will be starting this program really soon and I'm really happy of my choice.
I will be learning a lot of stuff from digital, sculpture, drawing, painting to history. I have never take any art course before, so I really hope I will learn and improve.

I will still be posting here my artwork, so please I would really appreciate to get as much comment and critics as possible!

Thank you very much for your time! ]]> ~happyfanie
