Art class..
This is, most likely, my favorite period this year.

I, being new to Junior High, have never really switched classes before for different periods. This is my elective (They call it "Exploratory" here.. Why they do, I shall never know.) and I am having a great time with it.

My teacher, Mr. Chisholm, has a weird, raspy voice but is really nice. He is the only teacher this year thus far that has respected my superior intellect far beyond that of my peers, and has aknowledged it. (Ego meter rising.. She can't take much more, captain!) But seriously, I'm really enjoying it.

The first thing we did in this class was an "Illuminated manuscript"-- Like how the Dark Age Europeans made vibrant decorative pages in the bible with individual decorations on them. This is my best project thus far, I believe, and my teacher has kept it as an example.

The next week we just did some pattern thing-- Abstract is not my favorite genre of art.

Now we're experimenting with value-- Dealing with gray in pictures. We are using "hash-markings", the overlapping of lines to give a gray effect. ^_^ The more daring students, such as myself, made a skull on a book on a table lit by candle-light. It was quite easy for me; I'm already done with it..

Bye-yah.
