Art 101, Period 4, Class 4 (Monday 9-24)
Steve was standing at the front of the art room and smiling as the students entered. "I hope everyone did their homework? Good." He gestured to a clothesline strung across the back wall. "If you'll please clip your work up before you sit down? And if you'd like to put up the work you did in class last week, too, that would be great."
The rest of the room was set up as it had been the week before, with drawing stations (one large enough for Sulley, of course) and sketch pads. However, instead of crayons and pastels, this week there were pencils: colored pencils, charcoal pencils of various degrees of hardness, and good old-fashioned orange #2 pencils. Steve was a traditionalist, what could he say? There was also a pencil sharpener and an eraser at each station. And at the front of the room, on a small table, was a bowl of fruit--grapes, pears, bananas, an an apple or two. Steve indicated the bowl. "Your subject," he told the class. "This is what we call a 'still life,' meaning nothing in the drawing or painting is alive. This is what you're going to draw today, whether in black and white or in color is your choice. And then your homework--yes, you're going to regularly have homework in this class, because I think art once a week is not enough art, but then this is what I love so maybe you disagree, I'm sorry--but anyway. Your homework is to assemble a still life of your own and draw it. You can use pencils or the crayons or pastels from last week, it's up to you. Any questions?"

Re: Draw!
Of course, if you looked closely enough, you could see that he'd 'taken a bite' out of an apple.
