Hangar Renovation News!!

 For those who missed it: A couple of fantastic practical improvements, organised by the board, have been put into place the past week!
First of all, the cracks in the floor and the walls have been repaired - by the owner of our building! A true achievement of president Sylvie. A little bit inconvenient, some classes had to be cancelled, Marie's sculpture on Thursday, Valentine's multimedia on Friday and Marina 's life class on Monday morning. But they were happy to do that for the greater good.

The board, with volunteers took to the tasks on Wednesday afternoon. They worked very hard and perfectly cleared out the interior.


The crack is clearly visible (left) and next day the owner's made sure all was filled up with the best concrete..



Girl power! Veronique and Thecla removed all the broken and cracked tiles… Sylvie brought new ones and put them in.

The next day Celina made sure that no one would touch the still soft concrete and on Monday afternoon everything was put back into place by Sylvie...

 

The big Hangar sign (that was enthusiastically hammered into the trees a couple of years ago) had damaged cars because of parts sticking out, and had lately come loose in the strong winds. 

The mairie of Chateauneuf suggested to remove it and since we were there anyway, volunteer Jeroen did that for us. 

It will get a safer and better place soon. We will keep you posted on that.And last but not least, the branch that was almost falling down after the storm  is removed by a professional of the mairie..

Wonderful, our Hangar is getting better  and more structured every day!

Hangar Café Culture with Valentine

 



Not a lot of you were able to attend the latest Café Culture, with our youngest and newest  'Mixed Media' teacher Valentine. unfortunately, because she gave an enthusiastic and vibrant talk about her creative experiences in life, through travel, adventure and serendipity. Which then led to an impressive production of  Murals in countries like India and Nepal, but also to other brilliant artworks. 
The attendees thoroughly enjoyed it all and I do hope Valentine is willing to do another version later in the year! She used time-lapse videos to take us with her in her mural-painting world, and showed the creation of big canvases with beautiful animals. One word - OK, three: worth every minute. You missed something! Here are the pictures:

Musical Painting! February 10th, Mixed Media Class

 Musical Painting! 

February 10th, Mixed Media Class with Valentine Costes

Friday mornings 9:30am to 12pm

 


Today we did a "Musical Painting Class", by listening to different music we have different emotions, feelings, thoughts going on... our painting is changing depending on the rhythm and energy of the music... helps also to get more easily to our right brain, in the creative process.

 

There are many different techniques as inks or spray paint that let ourselves be more random with our paintings. It's also quite interesting to observe ourselves during the process because painting is a wonderful reflection of our current state of mind..!

 

We definitely felt, more than ever, how important it was to do a right brain exercise at the beginning of each class!


 
With this exercise it's also a nice way to learn new techniques and be more creative, without having something in mind and just let ourselves enjoy the process of creating!

I will add you to the WhatsApp group to have all the info for each class.
