d new ajp graf'

There was this part of the wall under the big painting that was not in good situation and also with half of the color out. We had one event last week and the president of the Association Jacques Prevert together with the program coordinator ask me about any idea how we can arrange the big room for this event.

I give idea that I can make graffiti under the painting so with that we can cover the destroyed wall and also make a promotion with writing the name of the association. For the other walls I propose to select the best works: paintings, collages, sketches that we do with the kids for on their painting activities.










All at all cleaning the space in the room, give new function and adapt for the event that follow. I succeed to finish the graffiti for maybe 5 hours work in 2 days and in the other time helping the others with making the cartoon frames for the kids works and also trying to make the composition of all this 20-30 paintings from them. We decide that the sheets that I've paint and write before we can use with putting them on the walls too. We made colorful ambient and perfect atmosphere for the event.



I have new idea, for the wall that is still empty, maybe it will be realized soon :))

#streetart workshop @ voiceOfaRt

This Youth Exchange [YE] is something like vol.II of the YE Power of art. On the first one I lead sticker art workshop and on the open space in discussion with the participants there was the interest of learning more about street art. For this one [Voice of Art] we decide to accept the idea and to share more information for this wave in the contemporary art.

The participants firstly have the opportunity to hear something about the sticker art and the different styles of creating them and during the time for workshop they had the chance to try to create pieces of art in which they will mix different materials as sprays, markers, paper, colors, stencils etc..for the one that were interested in vis a vis conversation I explain more about the old school graffiti, colorful, 3D, characters etc. My idea was to try to mix both styles on one board. Big stickers vs. Colors, sprays, stencils..composition. They were pretty interested in the idea also as in the topic and all of them invent creative and unique ideas. One of the participants on the workshop for art installations decide to use stickers in her installation, so basically she was attending 2 workshops in same time and create and learn more about 2 new forms for her. Also there were participants who create more then 10 stickers that after we scan and apply on big board that was also part of the exhibition in 'maison de la familles'.





All of the participants mainly understood the meaning of street art because besides this program that guides them directly trough the process of creating art piece they also learn more about the Youth in Action (YiA) program that actually finance this kind of youth activities in which the young people via informal way learn. On this exchange the participants hear new things about the contemporary art that comes from their countries, their culture, tradition etc.
The final results from my workshop I see as very progressive. All of the pieces on different way are bringing the message for solidarity. The works are nice and unique as their understanding the meaning of solidarity filtered trough this techniques.

VoiceOf_aRt [almost]

We are almost on the beginning of our new youth exchange connected with art. We named this exchange as Voice of Art and is something like updated version of our first project with art since I'm volunteer in Together – Power of Art.

The web page for this exchange is already done and as it writes in the info there we will host 30 participants from 6 countries interested in developing their art skills.

We've plan few concrete workshops connected with the modern or contemporary influence in the art today and as part of this exchange we'll have the participants divided in 3 workshops. Mostly the people will have the free will and the idea of mixing those parts of the art in their pieces but mainly the ways of expressions will be trough:

• street art

• conceptual or installation art

• video & multi media

In all this workshops the participants will have the opportunity to learn something more about this fields and also to create art pieces that in this or that way will be connected with this brunces of the contemporary art era.

We choose Voice of art because during all this art workshops there will be breeze (message) about solidarity. We'll try to input in the topic influence of the solidarity as one of the main engines of the democratic society.

As this project is part of the Youth in Action program we organized our time also for activities as discussions on different topics important for every young person as hopes, fears, future plans/ projects, simulation games, and also cultural events where all the countries participants will present their countries on some unique way.

More about the project sO.On :)

Street aRt w0rksh0p @ Voice Of Art

The idea of this workshop is to present to the participants basic knowledge about the street art as accepted part of the contemporary art. In the last 20 years we observe how the art that we see on the streets becomes more concrete and the style of painting become better. There are new waves in the street art which nowadays are more attractive from some of the contemporary art that is presented in the world wide galleries.

The street art start as a subculture art. The first painters are some artists who show revolt to the society and to the main politic that the global society create for their citizens. The last days on the streets around the world we can see something that is more then will to tell something that the people will read. The street art is something that evolute as all the other branches in the art field.

Making street art means playing in same time with colors, forms, concept and adrenaline that is one of the main engines for expressing yourself on walls, trains and places not so easy visible for the normal people. Today is more easy to discuss about street art from perspective that is more accepted from the society as art. There are artists who expose their works even in galleries and museums.



The people start using different materials to bring their ideas more real. From old school grafiiti to colorful, from 3D to comics. Great illustrators we can find sharing their art on the streets, drawing their stuff right here – right now, or sticking their already made stickers.

We'll have the opportunity to see the whole pallet of variations of colors, styles, artists names and stories but also and to create our own.

The idea: „Sketch become reality“ will be real.
..trough letters, words, lines, characters, stories we'll try to present our imagination and our message in same time.

Artists like Banksy or BLU change the history of art. Banksy messages are very famous. He made alarm for the capitalistic society, made a bigger awareness for the social excluded groups, and all this with his works. The society in which we live today, change everyday, the taste of the audience become more diversity, different. Street art like part of this diversity society gives new ways of seeing the concept of living, it's accept solidarity in a way of making the society better [beautiful] place for living.

Sticker Art Workshop

Sticker art is the last wave of the street art that is recognized in the last few years of this new millennium. Combination of drawing, print and message, not with too much colors, trying with minimal lines and colors (black, white, red) to catch the eye on the passengers in the subways, bus stops, old place where you can stick this paper etc.

There are two ways how you can make stickers:

The first way is on normal A4 paper to draw/ print some sketch with markers and after that with glue to stick it somewhere.

The second way is on sticker paper to draw/ print and also stick it somewhere.

After you start combine this two ways there is big pallet of opportunities how to finish your sticker work.
(this are the ways for beginners, if you get into stickerS art u'll find more & more other possibilities)  

Usually the best stickers are black/white. 

The drawing should bring some message, is active art that makes changes in the society. One of the first who make attention with sticker art all over the world is the famous graffiti painter Banksy who use different topics from the politic, medias, newspapers and on artistic way express his opinion. Ones of the famous stickers logos are Peace sign, smile, flower, mouse etc.
