Love Yourself Workshop with Suzanne Valois

Embrace the face that greets you in the mirror each morning and dispel your self-critic through positive reinforcements while drawing it out! This workshop was developed to improve observational skills but perhaps more importantly to become mindful of the messages that we often feed ourselves about ourselves. Draw your own self portrait (with a lot of guidelines to help you get there) while enjoying soothing positive, meditative affirmations. See the difference that it makes in the lines and expression of your face which is indeed mirrored in your soul. No experience is necessary – just an open mind!

Saturday, October 20, 1:30 – 5:30 a.m.

Dance Studio, Shenkman Arts Centre, Orleans

$50/members; $60/non-members (All materials are included)

Suzanne Valois is a certified Expressive Arts practitioner, teacher, artist and founder of the Art of Being Human, who has been committed to helping individuals uncover and value their authentic voice through Creative Expression, for personal and global wellbeing. Suzanne currently works with the City of Ottawa, the University of Ottawa, and the Ottawa School of Art, offering workshops on Creative Expression for groups and individuals, creating and promoting programs using VTS (Visual Thinking Strategies) and Art for Health.

Chaque matin, embrasse le visage qui te salue dans le miroir et dissipe ton autocritique par un renforcement positif pendant que tu le dessines. Cet atelier a été développé pour améliorer des habiletés mais surtout pour devenir attentif aux messages qui souvent nous nourrissent nous-mêmes à notre sujet. Dessine ton portrait (avec plusieurs points de repères pour t’aider) jusqu’à un apaisement positif, méditatif. Regarde la différence que font les lignes et expressions de ton visage qui est le reflet de ton âme.

Salvador Dali: In Search of Immortality

Scotiabank Theatre Gloucester (formerly Silver City Gloucester) is presenting documentary entitled SALVADOR DALÍ: IN SEARCH OF IMMORTALITY. This documentary is being screened on Wednesday October 3, and we encourage you to find a fellow Arteast member for an evening out.
Synopsis

The documentary proposes an exhaustive journey through the life and work of Salvador Dalí, and also of Gala, his muse and collaborator. It starts in 1929, a crucial year in Dalí's career and life, as he joined the surrealist group and met Gala, and advances until the year of the artist's death in 1989. In all this vital and artistic journey, Dalí's geographies, especially Portlligat, stand out as the only stable home-workshop he possesses; Figueres, his hometown, where he creates his Dalí Theater-Museum, and Púbol, where the Castle is, exponent of courtly love, which Dalí gives to Gala. But naturally other cities, especially Paris and New York are also central.
Synopsis

Le documentaire transporte les spectateurs dans un voyage exhaustif à la découverte de la vie et des œuvres de Salvador Dalí et de Gala, sa muse et collaboratrice. L’histoire commence en 1929, une année marquante de la carrière et de la vie de Dalí, puisque c’est à ce moment précis qu’il s’est joint au mouvement surréaliste et a rencontré Gala, et se termine en 1989, l’année de la mort de l’artiste. Tout au long de ce documentaire, les trois points du Triangle dalinien servent de fil conducteur à la découverte de sa vie et de ses œuvres : Portlligat, le seul atelier et résidence stable du peintre; Figueres, sa ville natale, où il a créé son théâtre-musée Dalí; et Púbol, où se situe le château Dalí, symbole de l’amour courtois et cadeau que Dalí a offert à Gala. Bien sûr, d’autres villes, notamment Paris et New York, constituent également des thèmes centraux du film.

WHEN: Wednesday October 3 @ 7:30pm at Scotiabank Theatre (formerly Silver City).

Tickets are available online at https://www.cineplex.com/Movie/salvador-dali-in-search-of-immortality and general admission is $11.99.

Plein Air Painting in Nunavut with John Archer

One year ago, John Archer and a group of painters embarked on a challenging trip to capture the remarkable landscape of Canada’s North and the impact it can have on a painter. The particular location was the shores of Ennadai Lake, a long lake running north south and spanning the tree line – black spruce to the south and tundra to the north. It is a landscape remarkable for its simple forms and strong colour and a challenge to paint because of those qualities.

This presentation will cover, firstly, the plein air painting experience and the materials and techniques that were used. Secondly, it will cover the impact that this experience had on the subsequent six months (and more) of studio painting back in Ottawa.

What are the lessons to be taken from this presentation? The first is the importance of plein air painting because of its ability to “inform” your painter’s eye. The second is the importance of reworking a subject (series painting) so that you can automatically deal with form and composition leaving your painter’s brain to focus on pushing the boundaries of your work.

Peindre sur le vif au Nunavut avec John Archer

Cette présentation concerne le remarquable paysage du nord canadien et de son impact sur les peintres. La région observée est la grève du lac Ennadai qui s’étend du nord au sud - avec les épinettes noires au sud et la toundra au nord. Par la simplicité de ses formes et la force de ses couleurs, c’est un paysage remarquable.

Cette présentation couvre tout d’abord, l’expérience de peindre sur le vif et des matériaux requis. Puis, de l’impact de cette expérience à peindre six mois (ou plus), au retour, dans le studio d’Ottawa.

Quelles sont les leçons à retenir de cette présentation? La première démontre l’importance de peindre à l’extérieur pour exercer l’habileté visuelle de l’artiste. La seconde est l’importance de retravailler le sujet (série de peintures) où vous pouvez jouer avec les formes et la composition laissant votre esprit ouvert au résultat inédit de l’œuvre
