Hands-On Art, Class #7, Period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

"Hi, there, class," Lily greeted everyone as she closed the door behind the last person. "Hope you all had fun last week, and really, I think you all get extra credit in not giving me anything I'd potentially have to explain to my boss.

"Today we're going to be working on people. And people are so hard to draw sometimes, they really are. When I first started it was always hard to get the necks right. Everyone looked vaguely descended from giraffes for a while there. Everyone's going to have their own way to draw a person. They might look realistic, or they might look cartoony, or it might be something that would make Picasso go 'What the hell'. One way to do it is to look at people as a series of shapes. You know, like the head's an oval, the neck is a square, the body is a rectangle," she said, demonstrating on the board as she spoke, "and just whittling things down from there. So if you're not sure what you're doing, try that out a bit. Whoever's next to you? Draw them, on two conditions: no stick figures, and this is not nude art, you're teenagers, I know that thought popped into at least one of your brains there. Now have fun."

Eh, so it's an ooc icon, near enough, right?

Closest thing I've got...

Listen to the lecture

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

If it can be called that.

Katchoo got a little grumbly by the end of the lecture, such as it was. She liked nude art, dammit.

Work

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

Pair up and do your thing. Try not to get too offended if the other person draws you with a horribly misshapen head or something.

Re: Work

People had always been a favorite subject of Angela's. With any luck, that would mean that she'd do justice to anyone she ended up drawing today.

Re: Work

Savannah grinned at he. "Partner up?"

Re: Work

"I'll do my best to look extra drawable for you," Angela said, nodding her confirmation cheerfully.

"It's been way too long since I had a live model for this sort of thing."

Ned...got a little insecure about his head as soon as they were set to work. He hoped it wasn't too big.

Claire had the baby for sex ed strapped to her in a sling, and she rocked it a little as she approached Ned. "Hey, mind partnering up with a mom?"

Re: Work

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"When did you become a mom?" Ned asked, eyes widening.

Glad that the fake baby was being quiet (it had, it seemed, gotten all the crying and fussing out of its system way too freaking early this morning), Cal rubbed his red-rimmed eyes and blearily looked around for someone who didn't look like they'd mind their image being completely butchered by he attempts to draw them.

Lola was also glancing around and lifted her eyebrows in Cal's general direction.

Re: Work

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Tiredly, Cal lifted his shoulders in a shrug. "I'm going to warn you," he said. "We pair up, you might come out looking a little disfigured, but if you're okay with that, then, let's do it."

Peter had actually drawn plenty of people, just not on purpose. He wondered how good he'd be if he wasn't using his power.

Re: Work

Peyton smiled at him. "Want to partner up?"

Re: Work

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," Peter said, smiling back. "Though yours is probably going to be way better than mine."

Robin looked around for a partner.

Talk to Lily

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

She's around, before, during and after class.

Talk to the TA

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

When she pings in.

Savannah is here with her sketchbook, oh yes.
