What
we see
Pretend a friend cannot see these paintings. Describe each ship
to them.
How we feel
What do you think it feels like to be on each ship?
What we think
Why did the artist choose these colours for his painting?
What different shapes do you see? How do you know the ship
in Savoie's painting is a ship… or is it a shape? If you didn't
know the title, what would you call this painting?
How it was made
He decides spontaneously what he will do with each artwork
and is guided by his emotions. He uses his whole body to make
brushstrokes and gestures. Try to compose an artwork by doing
three things: have in your mind one feeling, stand up facing
your artwork (tape it to the wall) and do not bend your fingers
or elbow – draw from your shoulder. What do you notice that
is different about your artwork?
About the artist:
Roméo Savoie (b. 1928) was born in
Moncton and resides in Robichaud , New Brunswick. He is admired
as a model and mentor to upcoming Acadian artists although
his work does not reflect only Acadian subjects or themes.
He is also a published poet, a set designer, and performance
artist. Savoie's work is abstract and shows his fascination
with line, color, texture, and materials.
