Hello Art

Today was my first class of the summer semester. As a reward to myself for getting through Algebra, I enrolled in a literature class and Art 101 (basically, it's a beginning drawing course).

Of course, I was by far the oldest student in the art class - And apparently very approachable, as three other students borrowed pencils or pens from me. You would think that they would have brought a pencil to DRAWING class.....

After about three hours of instruction, we were given our first assignment - a self portrait. It's not my favorite subject, but I tackled it as though I had been commissioned to repaint the Mona Lisa. After four hours on my assignment, I finally decided I was finished with my first masterpiece. To be honest, the only thing in this self portrait that resembled myself, was the fact that I had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

But, I don't care. I'm delighted with my first effort. So, goodbye to graphing calculators and panic attacks. Hello art. :)
