KEY PHILOSOPHY OF LucSculpture (Ls3)
Creative mind
LS3 is focused on personal creativity. You create free from assignments. No judgment will be made only positive feed back. No techniques will be imposed on you because whatever you do will go along as a complement to your artwork. All of the teachers at LS3 are experienced and will guide you through to your own journey. We are looking at a let go kind of attitude to free yourself from your own ghosts, deep hidden emotions or if you are over those simply express your love and compassion to others.
LS3 sees it as a throw up process that will make you lighter and restore your self confident and own persona. Creation is therapeutic! As Luc Bihan the creator and guide of LS3 would say:
“Do not plan, do not think, do not judge, just feel, create and express. The miracle is yours.
Ecologically Friendly 
Art supplies:
LS3 does not use ‘man made’ materials or very little like acrylic paint or any fossil products from the oil industry, or markers, pens, neither plaster or cement, and simply trying to avoid plastics in house. Not as perfect a picture as you may have imagined because our industry supplies all sorts of toxic materials, non biodegradable or big polluting products. As an example: Paper mâché is made out of flour, sugar, and warm water (no glue in the mix). LS3 will only take you back 100 years ago just before our ‘industrial glory’. Clay, wood, stone, wax, natural oils, resins, oil paints, water color, gouache, pencils, conte, charcoal, inks, and much more are all ecologically friendly.
The school and our surroundings:
It also applies to the school and studios where we create. We removed synthetic carpets, glue, linoleum, stripped coats of paint from wood, saved energy, and recycled. It takes time, elbow grease, some research, a bit of money and a lot of creativity. The task is huge and challenging so your help is always welcome.
Mother Nature and its energy:
Today nature is everywhere except in our daily lives. We walk on cement pavement. We wear plastic shoes and synthetic clothes. We eat our processed foods with a plastic fork from a Styrofoam container. Our house is covered by product originate from dead fossil (petroleum) or our condominium is a “man made” box of cement reinforced by metal, covered by plaster wall and an acrylic paint, with a jungle of electrical wires and cables.
Did you ever question why people in the country live longer than the people in the city? Regardless of how rich your food is, how many vitamins you’ll take or all of the heath care you can get city people will never outlast the people living close to Mother Nature.
Visualize how pleasing it is when you walk bare foot on the sand, swim in the ocean and enjoy bits of the sun. Can you remember the last walk you took bare foot in the forest or on the grass in a park? Have you ever touched a dead body? It is cold and well not there is it! Now compare the energy of a raw clay sculpture, a piece of wood, or even a stone to a sculpture made of cement, plaster, or a bronze. How does it feel? Where is your attraction going to? Do you see those crazy people hugging a 500 years old tree because they feel a bit depress or low key.
We humans are apart of nature and cannot disconnect from it or we will become extinct. This is why clay is the key to LS3 teachings. Clay is the result of the degradation of mountains! It took billions of years to have that plasticity and amazing sculptural propriety. I have seen students walking in the sculpting studio tired and depressed staying for hours, forgetting both time and day and leaving happy and at peace with themselves. That is pure energy regenerating yourself passing through your finger tips as you create freely.
