[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!"

Show off your finished Justice Sticks with a description of what you did.

[OOC: At the end of each workshop, please use this thread to summarize your finished project. Narrative is fine. I just want a brief description.]

Tempe's project was a gavel ~~of Justice~~ made out of popsicle sticks, wood glue, duct tape, and a smattering of artful blue glitter. It's actually quite a nice-looking thing. Just don't bang it too hard on the table.

"Very good work, Tempe! I can feel the Justice shining off of it! I think it's the glitter that adds the extra pop."

Tempe grinned. Never mind that a giant blue thing, who she could only assume was Professor Tick, was giving her the compliment.

"Thank you, Professor."

Sakurazaki avoids direct eye contact as she displays her work. She did end up pulling out the glue, but she used duct tape on on the blade so it looks more like a blade. It's a crooked blade, though, broken in the middle...She tried to fix it but it only kept getting more bent. It did end up being mini, but not too mini...It's a little longer than shoulder width, which, for a nodachi is very small. She stole a bit of red string to tie around the popsickle stick hilt.

"Good work, Sakurazaki!" Tick said. "Swords are very Justicey! The red string adds a lot!"

Sakurazaki bows deeply. "Thank you, Tick-sensei."

Kaylee is kind of proud of her Alliance officer made of popsicle sticks. She colored it purple and added some glitter to it. Of course, she mangled and disfigured it slightly. This is justice for Serenity. She never did like it when the Alliance referred to her as a junker.

"Very... nice, Kaylee, right?" Tick said. "Very good representation!"

"Yep, I'm Kaylee," she said. "Thank you!"

Seras had made a small, model jail cell out of her popsicle sticks.

It was quite sturdy and decorated with green glitter. Not the most accurate representation of a jail cell, but hey, artistic license.

"Well done, Seras! Keen jail cell!"

Seras decided to assume that 'keen' meant good and thanked her nice, new teacher.

Stick figure judge. Really. He's got a black robe drawn in Sharpie, a stern face, and glitter.

"Nice judge, Jaye! Good work! Very glittery!"
