Arts & Crafts Workshop #1, Dining Hall, 05.22.06, Afternoon

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Getting this out of the way before sleep, yays. Interaction will be light from me due to work, but if you ping me in the Talk To Tick thread, I'll get to you ASAP.

Get in the threads, get talking to one another (project threads are intended primarily for student interaction, of course), and make some art! And crafts! Workshop info post will be written after work.]

As per a handwavey bulletin in the main camp activities area, The Tick's Arts & Crafts workshop met in the dining hall/activity area after lunchtime.

"Hello, campers!" Tick said when everyone was in a seat. "In case you don't know me, I am The Tick! Feel free to call me Professor, Tick, sir, or something else you feel would be appropriate to call your instructor."

"Throughout the session, you'll be working on two things. Every week, we'll be working on some kind of activity. These will be smaller projects. Today, for example, I'd like you to take some popsicle sticks and some sort of adhesive - we have glue, wood glue, rubber cement, duct tape, and a couple staplers - and make something that makes you think of Justice. It can be anything as long as it means Justice to you!"

"Additionally, every week, you'll be working on a long-term project. We will be making scrapbooks! Yes, campers! We're scrapbooking. Everyone here will working on their own scrapbooks, but if you need help for some reason, ask someone else to lend a hand! These scrapbooks will be detailing your time here this summer. Your thoughts, your impressions, your feelings. And hopefully, if everyone puts a good amount of work into their scrapbooks, we can all have some fun with it! At the end of the session, we'll take a look at everyone's scrapbooks, of course, and the person with the best scrapbook might just win a special prize! All of your scrapbooking supplies are on this side of the table. Feel free to mod take whatever you might need!"

"Let's get to work, chums!"

This week the students need tables. Oh yess. On each table is a stack of magazines, Cosmo, Elle, Glamour, Lucky, YM, GQ, Maxim, and FHM.

Elle is wearing a bright pink suit with black trim. Her hair is pulled back and she is wearing pink framed glasses. She totally looks the part.

"Super, you're here. Ok. This is the image workshop, so before we can really begin, I need you to understand your style, as well as what style you aspire to. I brought in magazines and there are scissors and glue and tag board and markers. I'd like you to spend the first half of the workshop making a collage for yourself. Label things you like and hate, and make sure you add why. Is the shirt too short? The pants to tight? The suit too formal? All these things will help us get together to understand the do's and don'ts of what you are doing now with your appearance.

The second half of the afternoon will be taken up with dress up. I have my digital camera, so boys to the left and girls to the right. There are racks and racks of clothes kindly donated by the Delta Nu sorority and the Sigma Nu fraternity. I want you to try on at least three outfits and we'll add those to the collage next week once I get them printed out. And totally talk about color choices and fit and stuff. Have you ever watched "What you shouldn't dress yourself in?" Today is our own little mini-show.

By the end of the workshop you will understand why you dress the way you do, why others dress the way they do, and what to wear when. But the most important thing about any fashion is having the attitude to pull it off. I'm sure that's how those British ladies get away with some of those hats at weddings. What are those about, anyhow?"

Clockwork workshop #1, Morning

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

There were *handwaved* announcements posted, announcing that the Workshop would be in the back of Sparky Repairs.

Agatha looked over the students she had. Ok, there were only two of them, but her smile was still a bit nervous.

“Hey guys. As you may or may not know, my name is Agatha Clay.” She smiled again. “You may call me Agatha though. Please write your names down on the attached attendance sheet, so I know who you guys are. Also, if you could tell me a bit about what sort of mechanical knowledge you already have, that would be cool.”

"Today we are going to spend the next few hours talking about what a Clock is. Please take a look at your handout and at this picture of a Peacock Clock. It is on display at the Hermitage in the Russian Federation.

To better understand a thing, you have to take the thing apart. In front of you is a variety of mechanical clocks. Take them apart, see what's inside.”

Agatha smiled again and handed them each a handout, an image and a box of clocks. Some were old, some were new and some were clearly made by Agatha herself.

Baking Workshop 5/22, FH Home Ec Classroom, Monday Morning

[absolutesnark]

Piper smiles at the students as they show up at the home ec classroom after handwave hearing some sort of announcement letting them know to meet here.

"I'm Piper in case some of you might not know," she says somewhat cheerfully, handing each student a syllabus.

She points out the plate of brownies on the counter in front of her. "I made these for you because that is what we will be baking today. Try one if you'd like. I'm told I make the best brownies ever." She smiles proudly. "We will not be making the kind I brought in, though. They have a secret ingredient and, if I told you what it is, I'd have to vanquish you and no one wants that."

Piper grins to let them know she isn't serious about the vanquishing. She hands each student a list of ingredients and instructions. "I'm not going to lecture you because this workshop is supposed to be fun. So we're gonna get started right away. These instructions are, hopefully, easy to follow. If any of you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask."

Announcements, Monday Afternoon

[bigdamnprincipal]

Early Monday afternoon, the PA system at the camp crackled to life, and a very curt Zoe could be heard.

"Tyler Durden, please report to the principal's office as soon as possible. I'd recommend that this be sooner, rather than later. Thank you."
