A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

For people learning French and wanting to speak it like a native, I’ll give you some tips, the things native people say (so you can sound less formal when you speak it).

“Je suis” is often shortened to “j’suis” and if we say it fast, it becomes “chuis”

“Tu es” and basically every verb with “tu” that starts with a vowel, we contract it and make it “t’es”, “t’arrives”, etc.

“il y a”, “il y avait” are most of the time shortened to (oral speech and when writing to a friend) “ya”, “y avait”

To make a question, it’s rare that we use the “est-ce que” form, we just take the affirmative sentence and put a question mark at the end : tu veux manger? (instead of : veux-tu manger?, est-ce que tu veux manger?)

Some abbreviations we often use :

bcp (beaucoup), mtn (maintenant), pk (pourquoi), tlm (tout le monde), mm (même), ptn (putain)

I know this post is probably useless but if you have any questions about french, ill be happy to answer them!

Renwick Gallery Is Overtaken With 60 Miles Of Rainbow Hand Weaved by Gabriel Dawe

Contemporary artist Gabriel Dawe is delighting visitors at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery with his masterpiece “Plexus A1” - rainbows woven with 60 miles of thread that create a magical visual experience. It’s part of a major exhibition titled “Wonder” where several artists transform their location specific installations into a larger than life installation.

The Mexican artist combines the architecture of the historical museum and fashions a hand-threaded spectrum of rainbow yarn individually from floor to ceiling; replicating an enchanting experience for spectators as they walk through the corridors and hallways to be confronted by monumental rainbows sweeping from the ceiling to the floor.  Dawe has meticulously worked with 60 miles of thread for 10 days, composed of 15 colors of the spectrum, and single handedly blanketed the Renwick’s 19-foot tall ceilings with thousands of strands of polyester string. Mistaken for fleeting rays of light, the piece is an iridescent exhibition. Each layer is carefully constructed, to assure that the hues shift with light in a specific gradient mimicking a true rainbow.

Gabriel Dawe’s Plexus A1 is a resurrection of his memories from his childhood in Mexico city.
