Art 101, Period 4, Class 9 (Monday 11-5)

[screwyoumarvel]

Instead of art stations, there was just a huge tarp on the floor of the art room today. The only other clue as to what was going on was a table with white bedsheets, white body paint, and a laurel wreath or two on it, and their teacher standing in front of a bulletin board full of pictures of statues, grinning broadly.

"Last week, we sculpted in clay. There are lots of other kinds of sculpture--in stone, bronze, steel, and glass, for starters--but we don't have that kind of time, and quite frankly I don't trust some of you with a chisel or a blowtorch." If anyone thought his gaze drifted to Jamie Madrox, well, it wasn't their imagination. "So instead, today I'm shamelessly stealing a class from my predecessor life imitates art. I want you to break up into groups and pick a statue--it can be one of these on the board, or it can be another one you know of--to recreate as accurately as possible while remaining clothed using these supplies," with a gesture to the table, "and one of your group. If you choose one of the equestrian statues, there is a rocking horse available."

((Now in the right place, I hope...))

During the Lecture

[screwyoumarvel]

Chat, pass notes, wonder where Mr. Rogers got a rocking horse, pout at not being allowed to play with a blowtorch, etc.

Given the opportunity, John was sure he could rock a blowtorch. He was totally pouting about it, too.

Break Into Groups

[screwyoumarvel]

Find a partner or two here!

Jamie considered some of the artistic possibilities and wondered exactly how much clothing could be worn and still be considered wearing clothes.

Naminé raised an eyebrow. "You're not considering misbehaving again, are you?" she laughed. "As the TA, I'm supposed to discourage such things very strongly."

"Who? Me?" Jamie asked innocently. "I have no idea what you mean by that."

Re: Break Into Groups

"Clearly, I must have mistaken you for one of your duplicates," she said with a laugh. "As you're a very obedient rule-abiding sort, and I shan't have to resort to threats to keep you in line."

A.J. cast around slightly puppyish eyes in hopes to snag a good partner.

Savannah came over. "Hey."

A.J. lifted a hand. "Hey! In need of a partner, too?"

Sora looked a the pictures hanging on the wall, but really wanted to put on the toga and leaf crown.

The fact that he had a hard time staying still for a long time wasn't a problem... was it?

Make Art

[screwyoumarvel]

The time has come to make art. Out of yourselves.

Jamie assumed the position of Achilles (http://www.hellenic-art.com/statues/achillesstatue.htm).

Except he was wearing a sombrero.

And his face had a stupid grin on it.

Naminé picked up one of the white bedsheets. "Here, this gets draped artistically across your lap, so as to cover what we've already seen in previous classes," she noted. "Should we apply body paint to the rest of your clothing, then? I think you would wear the pale look very well, you know. It matches the sombrero."

Re: Make Art

Jamie took the bedsheet. "White? See... I think we should have something with more color. Do we have any My Little Pony bedsheets?"

Re: Make Art

"I don't see any," Naminé said. "Which is a shame. I hear that Achilles was ever so fond of them. His actual Achilles' heel wasn't to do with his foot. It was his deep love for Saturday morning cartoons. They snuck up on him at 6:30 while he was watching meta for Smurfs in footed pajamas."

Talk to the TA

[screwyoumarvel]

After she pings in.

*facepalm* The TA totally pinged in like a normal person and didn't forget to. Honest.

Talk to Mr Rogers

[screwyoumarvel]

During class, Mr. Rogerswas at the front of the room with a Polaroid camera and a slightly mischievous expression on his face. After class, he stayed behind to clean up, and to be more available if anyone wanted to speak to him.

OOC

[screwyoumarvel]

The class this one was cribbed from can be found here. Mad, mad props to autolycus_kot for the original idea. Living statues, whee!
