    bonjour à tous,  je vous met ici le lien vers un MOOC proposé par le Centre Pompidou dont le thème est “L’art et l’écologie”.  Un thème en plein coeur du métier de Colart: les beaux arts, et en plein coeur de l’actualité: l’écologie. https://www.fun-mooc.fr/fr/cours/mooc-art-et-ecologie/

    Hi all, i am sharing here a link to a MOOC Art & Ecology produced by the Pompidou center. A theme which is the heart of Colart: Art, and of course also very actual: ecology. Unfortunately, I am sorry for my English speaker colleagues, it does not exist in English for the moment.

    • Thanks for sharing Elodie! We just signed a new partnership contract with Centre Pompidou for Lefranc Bourgeois, and this accessible Mooc is super inspiring for thos who want to paint a responsible future!

    This consumer forwarded a lovely blog post about W&N Yellow Ochre Calligraphy Ink.

    As another way to celebrate Autumn I\’m moved to write about my favorite calligraphy ink. It\’s been my go-to material ever since I branched out from Black and White. People would ask if I ever filled in my black and white drawings with color and no, that really doesn\’t work; it would be too coloring book-y. With color I need a much more neutral starting point. 

    Enter Windsor Newton Yellow Ochre! It\’s perfect for preliminary outlines as it can be very light and it dries swiftly, allowing me to erase the previous pencil guidelines without making a mess.  If I apply a little more thickly it\’s a nice rich brown.  Dilute it and it has a beautiful range of golden browns and tans.

    Pink October / Octobre Rose = PREVENTION

    As some of you already know it, I’m having treatments for breast cancer. After 6 very hard months of chemotherapy, I had removal of my breast. Radiotherapy begins end of October every day during 5 weeks.Despite of the accumulated and extreme tiredness, I’m fine : my hair, eyelashes and eyebrows have grown back. My routine is principally made of medical appointments, napping and a bit of sport hoping to reach 10km for the running race organized in Le Mans in November with the help of Pierre Ball (for those who know him).Last Saturday, I was pleased to be able to talk about my health journey during Pink October in-store presentation at Galeries Lafayette. I was lucky to be surrounded by my 3 doctors who are truly involved in their patients wellbeing : the oncologist (with the pink moustache for the time :-)), the gynecological surgeon and the psychologist.I could talk with people and put forward my determination in this journey, presenting my mantras tshirts collection IFY (Instinct, Follow Yours) used during the chemotherapy sessions.Breast cancer concerns 1 woman out of 8 but can also affect men. And this is the most deadly cancer in women. That is why so many preventive actions are taken.Self palpation and yearly monitoring with breast exams are not an option. And if any doubt, it’s important consult the doctor and don’t wait thinking it will go away. Because fear doesn’t prevent danger. And because you’re the most important person of your life.

    Take care

     

    Comme beaucoup d’entre vous le savent, je suis actuellement en traitement pour un cancer du sein. Après 6 mois de chimiothérapie très éprouvants, j’ai subi une chirurgie avec ablation du sein. Fin octobre, je démarre 5 semaines de radiothérapie à raison d’une séance par jour.Et malgré une fatigue cumulée importante, je vais bien : mes cheveux, mes cils et mes sourcils ont repoussé. J’alterne principalement et quotidiennement rdv médicaux, siestes et un peu de sport avec un entraînement de course à pied en compagnie de Pierre Ball, pour ceux qui le connaissent, en espérant réussir à courir les 10km du Mans en novembre.Samedi après-midi j’ai eu la chance de pouvoir parler de mon parcours de soins lors d’une animation Octobre Rose aux Galeries Lafayette du Mans. J’ai été heureuse d’être accompagnée par mes 3 médecins qui sont très impliqués dans le suivi des patients : l’oncologue (avec une moustache teinte en rose pour l’occasion :-)), le chirurgien gynécologue et la psychologue. J’ai pu échanger avec des gens et mettre en avant ma détermination dans ce combat en présentant ma collection de t-shirts mantras IFY (Instinct, Follow Yours) utilisés lors de mon parcours chimio.Le cancer du sein concerne 1 femme sur 8 mais aussi des hommes. Et c’est le cancer le plus mortel chez la femme, c’est pourquoi il y a tant d’actions de prévention. L’auto palpation et la surveillance annuelle par la mammographie ne sont pas des options. Et au moindre doute, consultez et n’attendez pas en pensant que cela va passer. Car la peur n’évite pas le danger. Et parce que vous êtes la personne la plus importante de votre vie.

    Prenez soin de vous

    • Lovely to see you in that photo Nadia.

    • You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story. I admire your strength and how you approached and endured every stage of the nasty disease you conquered. Your message about preventive care is so important – early detection via regular checkups/exams is the first step in battling breast cancer – an important message that I try to get across to women of all ages. I speak from experience and am happy to be cancer free for 14 years. You are remarkable – any I must buy some tees.
      Vous êtes une telle inspiration. Merci d’avoir partagé votre histoire. J’admire votre force et la façon dont vous avez abordé et enduré chaque étape de la méchante maladie que vous avez vaincue. Votre message sur les soins préventifs est si important – la détection précoce par des examens réguliers est la première étape dans la lutte contre le cancer du sein – un message important que j’essaie de faire passer aux femmes de tous âges. Je parle d’expérience et je suis heureux d’être sans cancer pendant 14 ans. Vous êtes remarquable – n’importe lequel je dois acheter des tees.

      • Merci beaucoup Kim and so happy to learn you are free for 14 years. I think it’s easier to speak today more than 10 years ago… and your feedback gives me hope and more strength. Take care 😘
