Women and Gender Studies, 6/20/07
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007 01:21 amToday, the students were greeted with table upon table of art supplies, including paints, clay, plaster, paper mache, feathers, popsicle sticks, markers, plastic rhinestones, and of course, glitter.
"Alright people, let's get right to it, this week. Now, we've been doing this for a little while so you all should have started to get a pretty good idea of what your personal gender indentificationing is! Which is why today, we're going to have a little fun."
"But only a little,"
"Oh, hush, Syvvie!" Maddie gestured to the table. "You see we have lots and lots of artistic supplies up here. We want you to go ahead and make a self-portrait. But! There's a catch! There's always a catch! You might notice that we don't have any MIRRORS around here! That's because you're not allowed to look at yourself while you do this. That's right!"
"That's right!"
"We're not interested in seein' your physical outdoor self, today, we want to see your inner self. Your mental image of who you are on the INSIDE. And there ain't no mirror that can tell you that."
"Don't they say the eyes are the mirrors to the soul?"
"Doors, Syvvie. Doors, not mirrors."
"No, I don't think that's it, either,"
"Anyway, no editing, no peeking, just . . . have at it! Make a mess and lets see your gorgeous inner-selves!"
[ooc: OCD iscoming up. Art supplies are entirely moddable.]
