Portfolio making class #5

(French below – Français plus bas) I hope your year starts well and that you’re ready to pursue a few dreams in the next twelve months! Making this year better than the last one is up to you – and I know it’s gonna be difficult for me: although 2015 was pretty crap for humankind,…

Portfolio making class #4

(French below – français plus bas) What a week-end… I’m exhausted. I planned to do so much stuff and ended up apathetic, still under the chock of the terrorist attacks in Paris. Luckily enough, nobody I know have been hurt… But I still feel for all these others. I tried for two days to escape…

Portfolio making class #3

(French below – Français plus bas) I just had a wonderful week of non-work that enabled me to get ready for the BofA contemporary art festival (so much packing, signing and little stuff to do that takes so much time!) and to (finally!) sew my halloween costume. I am so happy I own a table…

Portfolio making class #2

(French below – français plus bas) Do you remember my introductory class at the Glasgow school of art? We were asked to bring an object that we’ll be studying for the following couple of weeks and I chose my brand new cool scientific prop-skull. The least I can say is that studying something we’re genuinely…

Portfolio Making Class #1

(French below – Français plus bas) If you follow my blog for a while, you know that I’d like to apply to the Glasgow School of Art next year – to be short, I see it as a good way to improve my skills and it’s really something I’d like to just try. When I…

Sketchbook/research book/portfolio

(French below – français plus bas) Although I’ve finished Maya, I’m waiting for the poster to be completely done before showing you my work. I also got a side project inspired by this film to develop but all the same, I’ll tell you about it later! Instead, I’m proud to show you how organised I’m becoming…

About meeting people and getting started

(French below – Français plus bas) Yesterday, I finally went to one of these weekly meetings of artist and arty people in central Glasgow. As always, when I am supposed to meet people I am terrified. I was lucky to find a very small group though and was able to deal with my terrible social anxiety.…

Pretty Little Death

(French below – Français plus bas) I believe I won’t have enough time to get my portfolio ready in January for my application to the Glasgow School of Art (or the curse of being poor with big dreams), but I keep working on it anyway, as a challenge. The aim of a portfolio is to…

The 40 minutes observation exercise

(French below – français en dessous) As I intend to apply to the Glasgow School of Art and missed all inscriptions for evening courses (especially the portfolio preparation ones…) I collected tips on their website to work by myself. I’m sometimes a bit lazy about drawings and sketchbook filling. Thing is, it’s not only laziness,…
