Art School
Aug. 23rd, 2007 11:32 pmSo, I've attended art school once a week for two years now. Classes started again just. It was really nice. A lot of new faces but some old missing, like my sister who forgot it started today!XD, and some really nice girls whom I hope haven't decided to quit.
It was nice to just paint in my own pace and with time. It's incredibly relaxing. Gods I've missed it!
Our teacher gave us two different choices as possible options for a piece : 'Twins' or 'Secret Garden'. I chose twins. When I had painted almost most of the painting except the face (the colours are flat and there won't be any shadings and I did it on aclyrics, which are fast) when this woman, I can never remember her name asks 'Is that 'girl love'? To her the two girls, dressed in black and white, supposed to be siblings, seemed like a couple getting ready for marriage vows. Maybe there is that angle, I don't know... But it's not intentional.
And her use of the term 'girl love' was quite endearing to me. I do know why. There are all sorts of euphemisms some people use, I myself have grown a tad sick on all the terms. It's all so dualistic and opposing. It's always 'Us' and 'Them'. But sometimes euphemisms in these matters can be a hindrance. I had some major misunderstandings about how my mum thinks when she kept going on and on about 'friendship between women'...
But anyways. Art was fun and the red acrylic looked delightfully like blood.
And I'm being genuinely tired at 11.44 pm, which is a good thing. Now I'll just indulge in a quick peek at todays read_hp and then succumb to the comforts of my bed with 'Partners in Crime' and turn off the lights early. And maybe a little read of a long Inuyasha fic I found on AFF. It's quite addicting, and not even slash! My, where is the world going to???
