"I hope everyone survived their weekend unscathed, whether you had visitors or not," Steve said when the class assembled this morning. Peggy. Thinking about it still kind of hurt, so he pushed it down and forged on. "If you did have visitors, I hope they weren't too alarmed or traumatized by our...special, special little island. Now, on to our assignment for the week. We're going to play around with a style rather than a medium this time, so you can use any of the mediums we've already used in this class; all the supplies are available for you. And the style is abstract art, or art that isn't representational of anything." That should be easier for some of them. Right? Right.

Steve gave a brief explanation of what abstract art was beyond the short form definition, and a little bit of history, then said, "Some abstract artists like to listen to music as they paint, to evoke a certain mood or state of mind. I thought we needed something cheerful, so..." give him a minute to set up the record player. After a bit of fiddling, upbeat big band music filled the air. ":Let the great Benny Goodman be your guide. Have fun."

It was pretty difficult for Butters to stay in one place with such great music playing, his head and body bopping along as he made up words to the music while painting something bright and colorful, full of all sorts of shapes. There were a lot of boxes to represent confinement, after his recent groundings, but there were also round circles with swatches of colors to represent happiness, three of them, one smaller than the other, to stand for him and his parents and they were happy together in the organized order of their life.

Boy, now that they were gone, Butters kinda missed having his parents around.
