Hands-On Art, Class #9, Period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

"Welcome back, class," Lily greeted everyone. "And, you know, welcome to any temporary class members who are tagging along with actual class members, don't worry, we won't treat you any differently." And then she thought to look to see if there were any new kids.

"Anyway, we're having sort of a free period today. You've got all the supplies, so you can just practice on either your favorite technique so far, or try to get better at something you've been struggling with. As long as you're working, it's all good. I'll be here for any questions if you need help."


[Sorry it's lame, I totes forgot LJ is going down early in PST time and I want to get it up before the deadline. That's what she said.]

All three seconds of it.

Work!

Grab your supplies and go to town!

Ned had been fond of the lessons from last week so he unfurled a canvas and started tossing paint down in slashing lines and dripping dots.

Bender grabbed a few monochrome paints and started smudging metallic-shades in an impressionistic attempt.

Peyton immediately began sketching away.

Claire was working with mixed media. Which looked a lot like doodling with whatever came to hand.

Cal hesitated a moment before deciding that he'd maybe bother Claire a little by craning his neck over in an exaggerated attempt to see what she was working on, something just as likely to go unnoticed as it would be noticed, since he wasn't sure which he'd prefer.

Claire didn't exactly blush when she glanced up and caught Cal's gaze, but she certainly looked like she was thinking about doing so. She tilted her paper so he could see a colorful and chaotic bunch of images of nothing in particular. "Do not ask what it means," she warned.

"Fair enough," Cal said, grinning a little sheepishly as he held up his own black and white (with a touch of red) abstraction. "So long as you don't ask me the same."

Because, while his did have a particular meaning, he wouldn't admit to it.

Peter was happy to have a relaxing class of just trying to do some sketching.

Cal resisted the urge to just paint happy little trees, and, instead, was working with deep concentration (tongue in the corner of his mouth, and everything) on something with stark blacks and whites and greys and just a little bit of color (red) for dramatics.

Inara decided to do some more work with pastels and charcoal, challenging herself to do something other than get dust all over her shirt. She had lots of fun playing with the shading.

Savannah grabbed her pad and went to work sketching

Art supplies paid for by the school were definitely a plus, and gave Katchoo more room for experimenting with paints than with her own personal materials.

She set up a canvas and got to work on something that, with a little more work and experience, would be a pretty impressive if freaky painting (http://www.strangersinparadise.com/images/gallery/katchoo/sarasstare.jpg), but for now was definitely a work in progress.

Sokka set up an easel, grabbed a brush, and started daubing on color in completely random patterns.

Talk to Lily

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

She's around for any questions.
