Hands-On Art, Class #1, Period 1
The start of a new school year was always fun, and Lily was completely excited to have a new class. And one that had desks and she actually got to teach stuff to.
"Hi, everyone," she greeted them. "Welcome to Hands-On Art. In this class we're going to be learning not much about the history of art, though we will get into that a little, but it's more of a how-to, where you'll get to create your own works and figure out what mediums and styles work for you. And if it's not something you're serious about, sticking a lot of colors on a canvas can be a lot of fun. Or even cathartic.
"We'll get into that next week, though. Today's your token introductions class, nice and easy for the first week. You can just stand up, tell us your name and what year you're in, and why you're taking this class. And then we have the world's easiest art project, which is stick figures," Lily said, handing out sheets of paper and pencils to everyone. "I know, it sounds amazingly easy, but believe me, I've seen people get them wrong. Get as creative as you want. Give them a house, a little stick dog, whatever you want. I even have some markers up here if you want to add color. And extra paper if you're really ambitious and want a stick city or something. ...Okay, extra credit to anyone who can draw a stick city.
"And I am still looking for a TA. If anyone's interested, see me after class."

Re: Introductions
Paper had been a precious commodity at home and while Nor had had the audacity to steal it, he certainly hadn't. Other than the brief try with Namine, he hadn't really done so much as a doodle.

Re: Introductions
But she was very nice and that kind of answer probably sounded rude.
"It seemed worth the time and effort to learn, I think," he continued, "and I've never been able to use paper much before, so I might as well learn to enjoy it."
