Art class update.

'ello faithful blog stalkers!

It is I, Katie...the part time art teacher here at this beautiful establishment.

I just wanted to give you all an update about what has been happening in our class.

[Ok, I'll be normal...although it's not near as fun]

I think I already wrote this in a previous post, but I'm helping out with art class once a week at the school at CVE.

Our first project was to make & paint a bag or pillow.

We've been working on everyone's projects for about 3 weeks & we finally finished!

Here are some pictures of the process...

ANNNDDD THE RESULT!

I loved how everyone (for the most part) used the creative side of their brain on this project!

I think they did a pretty good job!

(p.s.-Candi was at the right place at the right time & got an extra pillow that hadn't been finished...She helped me stuff it & carried it around all day...it was SOO cute!)

meet.......EMMA!

This is Emma.

She's small, adorable, cute, adorable, brown & white, annnnnddd....adorable.

We got her from a rescue thing in Tucson.

She's like...12 weeks old or something.

annnnddddd...

adorable.

(did i say that already?)

the rest of my cali pictures!

the trip was totally fantastic. :]

part one.

these pictures are not in order.

'cause blogger is dumb like that.

I just decided that I'm going to list alot of pictures & no explanations...

'cause typing takes too long.

goodbye party for the LOBOS

"Lobo's" meaning "Wulf's"

The Wulf family is off to study Spanish for a month or two (or three or four...).

So, to send them off well, the Zobrists hosted our normal "game night" (every wednesday).

They gave us food. Beautiful, chocolatey food.

After food...

...we stayed true to the "game night" name & played Catch Phrase. :]

it was oh so fun

art, coffee, and steak.

So yesterday [friday] was a big day.

It started off with a Chemistry lesson...

Then got happy after that.

10:15-1:00

art class.

yupp. Katie Schick [thats me] is a art teacher.

Friday was my first day, and it involved a bit of drawing...a bit of ironing...and some painting.

I'm teaching the class every Friday.

Our first project can either be a total bag or pillow.

Here's my example:

What Lilly & Uriel accomplished...

Fede's funny creation...

2:30-4:30

town with Kali & Cassidy.

We've been wanting to go to this new coffee shop for a while.

And we finally went!

We also walked around town & went to a couple second hand stores [segundas].

i forgot my camera!

5:30-1:30

cookout with Ben's friends

After waiting for more then an hour on one of Ben's friends...we finally ate the steak.

It was good.

I ate 5 s'mores.

and laughed alot. :]

delightful.

so, occasionally i search for a short story to read in my english class...if i don't know exactly what i'm looking for...the process can take a long time.

but every once in a while, i find wonderful classics that are just...delightful.

The Princess and the Pea

Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real princess.
One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it.
It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real princess.
Well, we'll soon find that out, thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.
On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept.
"Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!"
Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.
There, that is a true story.
