I'm in an art class, I think I've mentioned on here that art is what I like to do. I like to draw and paint mostly. Well we've moved into the part of the semester where between now and when the semester ends we are expected to do three pieces of our choice. I wanted to do a painting, but the school only has acrylic paints. Acrylics are plastic, and very fast drying. You can do a lot with them, but they always have this cartoony feel to me. I just really don't like them. Not to mention that the school's supplies are beaten up, the paints and the brushes. Anyway, we have to tell the teacher before we start our projects what we plan on doing, and with what tools and such. The school doesn't have any oil paints, which is what I wanted to work with (even though I don't have much experience with them). I told her I'd like to work with oils but I would probably end up doing my painting in acrylic.
Well I went to school yesterday and she gave me a box with my own set of brand new oil paints that said "To Tanya" and "From Mrs. Duke". I just thought it was really kind of her, and I almost started crying right there (I know, I'm a baby). It's just that she didn't need to do that, but that she still thought of me outside of school and bought me those.
I am going to bake her some cookies and give her a little note that says thank you, but I'm not sure if that is appropriate. What do you guys think?
I'm really glad, because all four of my teachers are really nice, and two are really amazing. But Mrs. Duke is definitely my favourite teacher ever (she was also Nathan's favourite when he went to high school).
I'm doing a big drawing right now and if anyone is interested in seeing it when I'm done (probably later tonight) I will post pictures, and after I get going with the painting I will show you guys my finished work too.
