Underwater Basket Weaving and Other Aquatic Arts!; Tuesday, Fourth Period [06/14].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

A forecast and presumed morning of thunderstorms did not bode well for water activities, especially when lead by someone particularly sensitive to lightning damage, and so class that day was going to be held inside the community center...in whichever room had the highest ceiling. There were crafting supplies set out on all the tables, and, most important, large baskets (woven, of course!) filled to the brim with a large assortment of seashells of all colors, sizes, and shapes. There were probably few rocks that managed to make their way in there, too, but it probably didn't take a terribly clever mind to predict what was about to come.

"Hello, my adventurous aquatic artists!" Sidon greeted them brightly. "This week, we're focusing more on the art aspect than the aquatic by making seashell art! Now, of course, the most rudimentary and basic approach to such art is merely arranging your shells in a fashion you find aesthetically pleasing on a sturdy surface, be it a canvas of sorts or a frame or perhaps you'd like to decorate a vase or bowl! Beautiful and practical! We have a good deal of supplies available to us, so please, feel free to let your mind run wild and free of the variety of possibilities in which your sea shell may take you!

"If you have questions or need help, by all means, do not hesitate to ask! And don't hesitate t help each other or work together, because Aquatic Arts can always be a team effort!"

Jo definitely preferred this activity to trying to swim so she was enjoying being able to make a couple of necklaces out of the shells.
