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."

"Alec, I'm a senior, and I just... really like doing art of all kinds," he said. "I didn't get into it much as a kid, so maybe I'm just a late art bloomer."

Alec totally drew an awesome stick figure (http://artpad.art.com/?k6k1ipu0x1g).

"Wendy Watson," Wendy said. "I'm a senior, and I'm planning to go to art school after I graduate." Which wasn't so much a lie as a changing a of tenses.

"Jenny Sparks, I'm a sophomore, and I have no idea why I'm in this class. Probably my 'legal guardian' thought it would be funny." She was going to get Midnighter for this one.

Not as much as she would when she found out about the sex ed class, though.

"I don't know," she said with a noncommital shrug. "I suppose it might be fun."

Stick figures were too easy, so Wendy started sketching out a stick city instead.

Of course, Lily probably wasn't expecting a stick city in the midst of a stick zombie apocalypse.

Savannah Levine, Junior, I've been into doing art most of my life."

Savannah waited until everyone had left and walked up to Lily's desk. "Ms. Aldrin? You said you wee looking for a TA?"

"I'm Ned, I'm a senior and I'm taking this class because I can't even draw stick figures right," he said and made a face. "They always turn out with top heavy heads or one leg's too long or something else."

Ned's stick figure was really odd looking (http://artpad.art.com/?k6kexlbzl6w).

"I'm Inara Serra, I'm a junior, and I'm here because it's been a while since I had an art class. I fear I'm out of practice."

"Hi! I'm Angela, and I'm a junior," she told the class with a bright grin.

"I'm taking this class because I love art. I'm hoping to go to art school once I'm out of high school."
