art class
right now i have charcoal all over my body. face, fingernails, arms, back, legs.
i am a really messy person when it comes to most things.
my perspective drawing was do today which i was really discouraged by (while i worked on it at home). i started it late last night, while morgan was sprawled across the floor recovering from a few low blood sugars. it was a drawing of a few bottles, thread, sewing projects, and other odds and ends. after many redoes the perspective started to look right, and i was able to finish up the project in the morning.
in class today after we critiqued the drawings, and started on value drawings (which i really enjoy), i was thinking about art in general. it is something that i can relax while doing it and also can do for awhile without getting bored. so naturally my thoughts drift to the far future. . . could i teach or do art for awhile? . . . it has been something that i have thought about for awhile, and have been wanting to ask my teacher if she thinks i could be a major. but for various reasons, i keep telling myself to wait. but today i started to pray about it, and asking the Lord to help me know what to do. after a while i try to avoid thinking about it any further, and keep my mind to my work (and to the news that my teacher shared with us today--she is pregnant! i always thought she was just kinda chubby. . . only in the stomach.)
after class as i was cleaning up, and noticing all of the charcoal coating my body (referenced before), and julie, my teacher, asked me if she could borrow my drawing for the next class, and continued to tell me that i should really think about being an art major. i told her how i wanted to ask her about it and that i have been thinking about it. as i left all i could think about was how amazing it was that she said that, and how amazing it was for her to make the comment right after i had been praying about it. who knows if i will be an art major, but i still am going to seriously consider it & see if any more doors open and suck me in.
