History of Art / Studio Art Combined Studio | Jan 27, Periods 5&6

[autolycus-kot.livejournal.com]

As the students came into class, they would be able to see large photographic prints of Greek Statuary, as well several draperies and what looked suspiciously like white body paint. There are also a number of sketchpads and cameras.

"Okay kids, I want the History of Art students to split up into three groups of three and one of four.

"Once you're in your group, I want you to pick a statue and recreate it as accurately as possible, using the paint, the drapes and one of your group. Although please keep your clothes on. This is, after all, a school.

"Meanwhile, I want the studio art students to each take a camera and a sketchbook, and draw and photograph the History of Art students while they work. Try and work on cropping, balance and placement when taking photos. And it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Keep it clean."

Xander blinked. "I... could be a shrubbery? I guess? I mean, if the pirate can pull it off..."

Lee pales. Which no notices as he's covered in white paint from forehead to navel now. "Then, I guess you'd get on my back as Daphne is becoming the tree and your hands could be reaching up as the newly formed treebranches?"

Angela isn't giggling at the mental picture. Nope. Of course, this might be because her face is caked with paint and the stuff really is cold.

"Okay? I mean, if you can hold him like that."

Parker's also chortling at this point. *click*

"Okay, Harris as tree. This, I want to see you pull off." Her grin widens. "I think he should take his shirt off too."

"I can manage it," Lee says, a bit cocky, OMG.

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[chasingangela]

Angela raises her eyebrows (or tries to, under the paint) but says nothing. Instead, she leans down to take her boots off -- no way could she get her feet right with them weighing her down.

She hops a bit when her foot touches the floor through a hole in her sock. "I guess I'm ready whenever you guys are?"

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

Lee laughs as he waits for Xander. "You feel in character yet, Angela?" he says, smirking.

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[chasingangela]

"I always feel like a sun god, of course," Angela says, voice thick with irony. "You feel like a tree-girl-thingie?"

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"I just don't know how I feel about a girl chasing me," Lee quips and bites his nails mock-nervous.

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[soldtoarmenians]

"Well, I don't remotely feel like wood," Xander lies says. He glares at Parker as he... tries to do that thing with his wrists that the tree is doing. "And I'm not taking my shirt off. The tree doesn't have its shirt off."

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Well, at least put the paint on your face then?" Lee suggests.

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[chasingangela]

"You have to," Angela chimes in. "We did."

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[soldtoarmenians]

'Yeah, ok," Xander says reluctantly.

"Yaargh, that is cold!" he adds when he's spreading it over his face. "So very much not taking my shirt off and replacing it with this stuff!"

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[chasingangela]

"Lee's the brave one," Angela agrees.

She tests Apollo's pose. "I'm not sure how long I can stay on one foot like this," she admits, wobbling.

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander grabs a chair, and drapes a cloth over it. "How about I stand on this, so I'm not actually, you know, hanging off Lee's back, and you can rest your knee on it?"

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I can take the weight," Lee says, feeling his manhood insulted. Despite the fact that he's playing Daphne. Alas. "But if you're not comfortable clinging to my back..."

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[soldtoarmenians]

"No, I'm comfortable," Xander responds uncomfortably, feeling his... he's not sure what he's feeling, but it's probably insulted. "If you're comfortable. Angela and have the chair for her foot."

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"How can you tell?" Parker asks. "And... are you sure there's no wood involved?"

She does *not* look somewhere in particular. Really.

*click*

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[soldtoarmenians]

"Because trees don't have shirts?" Xander replies, totally pretending to ignore the other question, and doing that so hard shut up that he completely misses the fact that he just argued himself out of his shirt.

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Then I guess it's a good thing yours is coming off," Parker said guilelessly. She stifled a giggle at his expression, and took another shot of the statue-in-progress.

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander, by this time, had the paint on his face, and was shaking his head no. "Nuh-uh. Not with the paint, anyway. ZOMG freezing!"

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Harris, Harris, Harris." Parker pouted at him. "It'll warm up. Lee will be holding you." She leaned in, and grinned. "Just give yourself a minute to-- adjust."

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"Jealous?"

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Of who? Harris, Angela, or you?" Parker shot back with a grin. "Since you're *all* pretty."

Re: Group One (27-Jan)

[soldtoarmenians]

"Uhhhhhhhhhh..."

Xander probably pales a little more visibly. "I...guess?"
