Social Media: Check out Google+

2012-01-19T09:36:00.003-05:00

Are you on Google+? Google + is very different from Facebook and LinkedIn, yet it is a valuable resource for connecting with specific groups of people. You decide what circle of freinds to add each individual too and then when you make posts rather than going out to every single person in your friends list, it will go out to only the circles you select, unless you select share publically. So you decide, who sees each posts. I really like that feature and I think you will too. Lots of galleries, museums, music venues, entrepreneurs and businesses are already on Google+. So come on, click the purple link below and join my circles. If you want you can even suggest which circles you would like to be included in; I have groups for artists, musicians, galleries, museums, bloggers, writers, poets and by area as well Columbia, Greenville, Charleston, Spartanburg, SC Coast, USA, International and could even start a few more!

Come join my circles at Google+ (click) I know you knew that :)

The Artist is having Fun with Assemblages

2012-01-16T06:58:00.007-05:00

I am really excited about a couple big projects I have been working on for a Looong time! In my "ReTred" art project I am using found and re-purposed objects to create unique and interesting assemblages enhanced with brightly colored Montana Gold paints and handmade clay objects.

Over the years as a collage and mixed media artist, I have collected a vast array of materials and many friends have regularly donated their own trash to the project.

My other assemblage project "The Book Revue" is also a recycling project, this time with used books. I know many artists, poets, writers and everyday people have books collecting dust. But if you are like me; the thought of throwing a book away, hurts your heart.

With these projects, I hope to show others; ways we can enhance our environment and use things commonly referred to as trash. Not that my project is trashy at all! In fact, people will be really surprised to find out all the different materials that have gone into these projects and how you can reuse items you may have thrown away in the past.

Now, with that said, the question always comes up... "Doesn't this create a lot of clutter?" The answer is yes, but why not turn clutter into art instead of filling up the landfills?

Although, I would love to give you a preview, I think that would spoil the surprise... so for now, I will hold off on sharing any photos of the projects. Debut plan: early 2013.

Trenholm Art Guild meets Mon Jan. 9, 2012

2012-01-03T07:22:00.003-05:00

TAG artists will reunite Monday Jan 9th, 2012 for the first meeting of the year. Meeting starts at 7 pm and informal socialize time prior to the meeting begins at 630PM. Please do not enter the park before 6PM. TAG is open to all visual artists in the greater Columbia, SC area. TAG meets the second Monday of every month now through June.

The guest for the meeting this month is: Roy Paschal.

Roy Paschal was born in South Carolina and is particularly appreciative of its diversity and natural beauty. The wide expanses of a low country marsh to the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains provide never-ending inspiration. As a boy Roy roamed these natural habitats searching for glimpses of wildlife and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. To this day you can find Roy knee deep in a salt water marsh or hiking along a trail with his sketch pad or paints in hand. He is always looking for that special spot to glimpse the magic of nature especially enjoying and painting the diminishing sights being overtaken by ever-growing and expanding development and population. Roy retired in June 2008, after a 30-year career as a forensic artist.

Positive Social Skills Can Improve Your Life!

2011-11-22T17:56:00.008-05:00

Positive Social Skills Can Improve Your Life!

1. Share Your Smile! Smiling helps generate positive energy and will draw others to you.

2. Show your gratitude! Always thank people and let them know you appreciate them.

3. Listen! Show interest by asking questions, maintaining eye contact and using their first name.

4. Bring People Together! If you know something or someone that can help someone else, bring them together; this increases positive energy, all around.

5. Try to Understand! Everyone has a point of view, keep an open mind. Welcome that we are all unique and have a right to differing opinions.

6. Speak clearly! Do not be offended if someone questions what you said or asks for an explanation. This shows they are listening!

7. Develop empathy and avoid judgement! Put yourself in their shoes and think how you would feel. People appreciate being able to share their thoughts without judgement.

8. Think Positive! No one wants to be around someone that is always being negative. If you must vent, save it for your journal. If you must verbalize, do it in the shower.

Don't forget that smile! :)

Yours truly,

Jean Bourque

Neuro-Chemical Breakdown Art Show Review

2011-11-13T21:49:00.004-05:00

Anima Jung was the genius behind the unique one night art show held Nov. 12th, 2011 at the Conundrum Music Hall in W Columbia, SC. The premise was there are 8 basic human emotions and 9 artists were each assigned an emotion. We had to keep it secret about which emotion we were assigned, but now the cat is out of the bag. The emotion I was assigned was "Disgust". Those of you that follow my art know my art work is mostly about music, peace, love, flowers, joy, and lively colors. Being a very positive person, at first, I was not happy to be assigned a negative emotion. I knew I would have to make art specifically for the show and thought okay, this is going to take me out of my comfort zone. I spent hours of research online, reading disgusting news, looking at disgusting images and reading what the word "disgust" actually meant. Everyday as I rode all over the state of SC, I thought about what it meant to me.

I started a lot of little projects, one was cutting out news stories that I found to be disgusting and making a handmade book. For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to paint something disgusting so decided to do other artsy things. I sculpted a mask with a digusted look. I cut three wholes in the chin and was going to hang other pieces of clay from it but then opted to make it into a key holder, I attached three brass rings, for the keys to hang on.

The show featured art by Michael Krejewski, Brian Barr, Brian Pyle, Tennyson, Lisa Gray, Allan O'Mudd, Jean Bourque, Cedric Umoja and Mustafa. Each artist explored an emotion. The art show was mainly paintings and they were all wonderful works of art. Tennyson created several shadow box wall hangings, Mustafa showed photography in which Anima the creator of the show was his subject. They were very well done. In addition to three painting jean made a clay mask and a recycled road trash wall hanging. Lighting was provided by RJ Foley and Keith Bates.

The show was for one night only. We all talked about the emotions we were assigned and agreed it was a challenge. Photos here by Keith Bates.

The Coolest Thing... Saving $$ on Art Supplies

2011-11-01T18:26:00.007-04:00

Lately, I have just been telling you all about events and opportunities, well this blog entry is different. I am going to tell you about a way to save money...on YOUR Supplies! YES! This was so amazing... now my younger or more techy friends and fans probably already know about this... but to me this is big news! LOL! Of course, I had heard the rumblings and as an avid fan and reader of Mashable, I had read that it was coming! Well, now it's here! In SC!

Driving on my way back from Clearwater, SC this afternoon, I had been thinking about my project for the NeuroChemical Breakdown Show I will be in on Nov. 12th at Conundrum Music Hall on Meeting St. in West Columbia, SC, along with 7 other wonderful artists. A series of ideas hit me and I realized I need to buy a few materials, a wood burner, etching tips, spray glue, a high heat glue gun and some conte' sticks. Since I was on Route 1, I swung into Hobby Lobby to see what they had and get a few items for tonight's studio time.

I had just located the conte' sticks, when an old friend, a fellow artist that does sculpting said hello. Happily, I shared a little bit about what I was looking for and the event. He told me Hobby Lobby always has coupons on their website for 40% of on any one item each week. We chatted like old friends do and found all the materials I needed. When he was about to leave he reminded me about the coupon and I decided I would wait on the wood-burner with etching tips until I ran the coupon.

After he left; the young man working there asked me if I had a smart phone with internet? He instructed me to go to www.hobbylobby.com,. He said click on "coupon". When the coupon came up, he said just show that to the cashier and you will get your 40% off. I brought everything up to the cashier and saved $10.80 by having her see the coupon on my phone. Now, how cool is that? If you click on the link on the post below, the coupon is right there!

I just had to share this as so many people do have smart phones! Let me know if you hear of other art supply stores... doing this! Thanks!

Yours truly,

Jean Bourque
