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".
