Foundation Course - First Lesson

Yesterday - Monday May 15th our new teacher Märta Wydler held her first of 8 classes. The first class was all about composition and drawing - illustrating how to make a visually more exciting picture.

The first exercise for the 5 participants was a task of drawing wild flowers and artichokes.

The next Foundation session is on Monday May 22nd - and is all about perspective. If you would like to sign up for this class (you do not have to follow every session) - please send Märta a text message to 0665156347 or an email to maerta.wy@gmail.com

Busy weekend activities around The Hangar and the village

The outside of our building and space had some cleanup and reshape this weekend.

Thanks to the help of our new teachers and a few members , we managed to get a lot done.

The tree trunk next to the parking area that had been cut by the Mairie of Chateauneuf de Grasse as it was broken by the storm a month ago, turned in to an art piece. 

               before          &   after

The wooden terrace( our theater area) that was falling apart and was dangerously unusable. So we took it  down as saw that all was rotten underneath too. So we just left the canopy structure and will see what economical way we can find to make something more from it. But in the mean time it is a nice and shady spot for us all to use.

             before & after

The sign that was connected to two trees next to the road before and that was blown away by the storm too,  was succesfully put on our front side and the colorful street number sign was put on the empty  wall around the corner, making our Hangar even more visible from all sides.

At the yearly Fete d'Agriculture of Chateauneuf de Grasse which usually attracts a lot of visitors and certainly did this year, one of our new teachers distributed Hangar flyers. So hoping for some new members to join our Hangar community.

Thanks to all those that helped out.

Here is the topic of the first session ‘Drawing, proportions & dimensions’…

Voici le thème de la première séance ‘Le dessin, les proportions et dimensions’…

 Two talented Hangar members are exhibiting in Vallauris. 

Here is a small taste of the expo:

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!
