On peut y apprendre la sculpture, la peinture, les techniques de la bande dessinée, la mosaïque, la photographie, l' histoire de l'art, et bien d'autres choses.
Un endroit merveilleux tout bourdonnant de créativité.
Cette photo est l'un des ateliers.
Unpretentious tools of artists are a delight to see.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to break out my canvas and paints...ah, how I wait for June and retirement.... For the moment it's my camera (and will always be)!
ReplyDeleteAdult education in art is very worthwhile. I have not had formal art education, but a group of friends meets every month or so and we share a work of art that each of us creates on the same theme. We then critique them. We call it the "it's better than a book club" group. Sharon (of Phoenix Daily Photo) is in the group, as is my wife, Julie, (of Scottsdale Daily Photo) and several of Julie's creations have now been displayed in a juried exhibition in a city art museum.
ReplyDeleteI'd like so much to be able to paint! I like the fact to do it, but the result is always soo awful!
ReplyDeleteANd I love to see the artists tools, they tell so much!
These photos take me back to my days as an art student. I can almost smell the turpentine and linseed oil!
ReplyDeleteJust gave my granddaughter art supplies for her 9th birthday, but none as professional as these. But. she'll grow into them, I hope.
ReplyDeleteFun shot!!!
