June McEwan, as a professional artist, has extensive experience of providing art workshops for children and adults of all abilities. She believes that you don't have to be 'good at art' to participate in and benefit from creative expression.
This blog gives an insight into some of June's work and explains how to do some of her 'Junius' ideas yourself!juneablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09643736691654018658noreply@blogger.comBlogger44125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641935513243388082.post-59983111750314455282020-04-06T12:34:00.000-07:002020-04-06T12:55:34.221-07:00paint an easy rainbow <div class="full module moduleTitle" id="mod_new5" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">

The warring <a href="http://juneable.blogspot.com/2012/01/secessionville-painting-campbell.html">Campbell brothers</a> and the<a href="http://www.masonicsourcebook.com/civil_war_brotherhood.htm"> warring Masons</a>. Two American Civil War stories with the same premise. That's the universe for you!<br />
I was treated this week to a look at the old Masonic Lodge in Coupar Angus. (Dates back to 1767). Historic Scotland have rejuvenated the exterior, but wont help with the interior- I believe the reason is that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Freemasonry">Free Mason</a>'s are a 'private club'.<br />
However, they need to upgrade their room and want new paintings. Their old murals are in a terrible state, but it'll cost more to clean them than cover them up! Their plan is to frame up new interior walls (the place is freezing anyway) and hang large masonic symbolist paintings rather than to muralise. I'm really looking forward to the job.<br />

It's the first Power point presentation I've done although I have used slides and overhead projection before. There were two other speakers, so all three presentations were put together in the correct running order and presented as one 'slideshow'.<br />
I had help from my bloke with the layout of the slides and their artwork, but the whole thing is a lovely easy way to do a presentation....then the power of the web kicks in. Because it's all computer work, you can share the whole thing by going to a fantastic site called <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/">slideshare </a>- who knew?<br />
<br />
Here's the Celebrate Crieff one. My bit is last - they ended on a high note!<br />

Revamp of an old Grotto<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This week, my son, (sporting his 'Prostrate November Tache), & I, repainted a grotto I did around 10 years ago. Made from MDF, it was never intended for long term usage, but every year, the wee house has been touched up and rebuilt. A couple of years ago, the centre decided it had had its day and it was put in storage with bags of cement, bricks and piles of other might-be-handy-one-of-these-days stuff.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Finishing Fountain Park Community MuralI've completed <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fountain-Park-Community-Mural/221809924513960">Fountain Park Community Mural</a>, after 3 weeks of variable weather, the worst being wind: (I've learned all about 'the Venturi Effect - the action of wind around large buildings), gusts of which made my legs turn to jelly a couple of times, resulting in me losing my bottle on the scaffold and giving in! I had some wonderful help from pupils of <a href="http://www.boroughmuir.edin.sch.uk/information/news/">Boroughmuir H.S.</a> and some great drawings from clients of the Garvald Institute and Fountainbridge Library reading groups.<span id="goog_1477783542"></span><span id="goog_1477783543"></span><br />

Last week a group of us went to 'Mary's Tribal Jam'.<br />
Mary Fairgrieve's work is exceptional and she opened her home to what turned out to be a bunch of happy nutters...with their children... She tried her best to teach us something and we all tried our best to play with paint. Prizes and even a certificate were given. Yours truly won...nothing.<br />

The P5 kids did really well - full on energy.<br />
I had to take everything home and deliver them on Wed. Of course, the birds are life size; that means they are enormous! Wingspan of over 8 feet; my wee Corsa car has a wingspan of 4feet; birds will have to be in pieces and assembled on delivery!<br />

John turned out to be the castle administrator and he invited me to bring along a few paintings of the place to try and sell.<br />
He bought the lot and asked me to paint another, larger one, which I'll get round to...eventually!<br />
Here they are. They're all small, (around 12 - 18 inches square), oils on board, done quickly outdoors and finished off in the studio<br />

Lots of the work both this week and last has been face-painting. Easter being a face-painting splurge! With most jobs starting around lunchtime.<br />
This has thrown up questions regarding lunch breaks. This is a question which has been asked before of me so I thought I might clarify the position and hope that it's helpful / useful.<br />
In law, a person is entitled to a 20 minute break per 6 hr continuous working time, this may include travel time to and from the workplace, but that is discretional. If the start time isn't 'normal' - perhaps the job starts at lunchtime - it is up to yourself to eat properly. In this day and age, working patterns are variable. We need to move with the times and adapt.<br />
Timings of the breaks are set by whoever pays! It's usual for a break to be midway of a job, no matter the start time, however this is also at the bosses discretion.<br />
For this information in 'legalise' have a look at the <a href="http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/WorkingHoursAndTimeOff/DG_10029451">Working Time Regulations</a><br />
