What better way to spend the time on a trip to a cabin in the norwegian nature, than to explore the possibilities of a compact set of water colours.

I'm back!
Hi!
After a two year long break, my vacation is finally over for now.
I decided to do this blog again, but instead of using it as an online album, I would rather show my fails and processes. Perhaps also share some insights into how I think while I make, and make mistakes. I think my comment section is open for everyone, but if you have some difficulties, please send me an e-mail at:
artalamex@gmail.com
It would be really nice to read any feedback! I'm not the most active SNS user, but I'll try to update this blog once a month. And sometimes whenever.
First thing of the day:
Summer drawing.

Hvitsten Salong 2023
Hi, and I'm back from a break!
In august Halvor Aarak and I was part of the festival Hvitsten Salong wich promotes
art and music. Together we painted a garage wall (many thanks goes to Maria and Gard).
Title of the painting was "Jam" and was an improvised piece based loosely on one
sketc we made with charcoal. We were inspired by flow, music and the Fossegrim.

MÆD Concert & Vernissage
Hi folks!
Thought I finally should go outside and show my works with the band "MÆD".
This would all go down in the bands hometown Fredrikstad, Norway in Gamlebyen Kulturhus. The clash of concert and art exhibit was a fun experience!

Enhancing my pupils project
There's a new month tomorrow and a new job for me.
So I'm choosing to highlight a project I did with my pupils at my former job as an Arts and Crafts teacher. This is from an assignement where 6th graders make a figure in modeling clay inspired from superheroes. They start with making an armature with steel wires, mount it to a tree brick base, sculpt the rough shape out of used/mixed modeling clay then the pupils decorate it with thin plates from the unmixed modeling clay.
That way we still get use out of old/mixed modeling clay and by then reduce our climate footprint.
Afterwards could the willing pupils have me take a picture of their figure and then photoshop it into a "Superhero Poster"! And here are the finished results:
PS: The groups of pupils where called "Surf" and "Turf".
