Nice work KikisGirl.

It's also really disheartening when art projects are graded. I had some amazing teachers in high school. The same cannot be said for college. I hated all of them.
Giving the kids that could't draw for crap A's for "trying" but putting a minus behind anything I did because, "you can do better". Well. Maybe if I had something more interesting than a still life light bulb to draw, I would be more interested...
But I'm not bitter or anything

Can't agree with you more! As an art teacher in high school I set up criteria for each letter grade. Grading could be so subjective.
Example: If I set up a still life, there would be 5 items.
An A was given if the 5 items were drawn or 4 with an improvisation.
A B was 4 items or 3 with the improvisation.
A C was given for the 3 objects.
All drawings had to show depth, 10 values, contrast and texture. Points were added or subtracted for the level of skill use on each of these.
I also gave written tests.
My pet peeve was students with talent who turned in gray scale drawings with minimal contrast and 5 or less values.

Do they not have them there? Or you just have enough of your own veggies? I have wayyyy too many tomatoes and pumpkins and a few peppers, an eggplant, and a strawberry (all being eaten lol). And way too much basil. So getting squash and blueberries is nice lol

We have them, I just don’t go.

Ah, but you see, with ceramics you can use stamps and stencils and such.
I can't draw at all, but used to spend a lot of time at one of those "paint your own ceramics " places. I actually bought a monthly membership so that I could spend as long as I wanted there instead of paying hourly.
I suck at art, but I find doing stuff like that relaxing.

Ah. I’m never relaxed, I’m a high stress person. Pretty much after I was kicked by Guinness, suffering my 4th or 5th concussion, I’m starting to think that it’s causing memory loss and constant stress at this point. That, and I’m really good at creating impossible situations that could never work out and stress out about them not happening. Wow that was all over the place, whew back to homework.

One summer, when I was at music camp, I got to do some pottery. I unintentionally discovered that you can do some interesting things with glaze. Like, if you put it on too thick it oozes off, leaving some of the clay bare and some spots where the glaze is really thick, and the colours running together. My instructor thought it was a total failure, but I thought it was pretty neat.

I create those kinds of scenarios in my head too.

Good luck on the exams tomorrow!

Animals are my biggest source of relaxation. I’m guilty of overthinking and working myself up from nothing too. School doesn’t help one bit, I feel you. Hang in there, it’ll all be worth it someday.
Good luck on those tests, not that you need it.

Thanks ladies! I always get super stressed out when it’s big exams week but that ends tomorrow! Until the next midterms and finals.
Okay and now I am leaving for the night. I’ll be back tomorrow after 4! Try not to give me a ton of reading to do.
Goodnight!

Ahh okay. That makes sense. Not everyone's thing. Tbh I wouldn't go if I hadn't been asked to by a friend both times lol and another thing is like a farm day thing put on by a FB group I'm in and they always have cute animals sooo lol but i would never go by myself. Always go with my mom or a friend.
