Art+Opher = Certain Disaster.

This semester I am taking an art class.  Art for special education or something along those lines.  I am kind of excited but at the same time art and Opher do not mix...  As the prof was going over the syllabus and the class and such I was sitting there wondering how this will turn out for me.  You see, in 8th grade and 9th grade both I was kind of banned from the art room. (Was also banned from doing labs in chemistry in 11th grade...)  I got my credits because I eventually convinced the teacher to allow me to stay in the class.  

    Everyone who knows me knows that I get distracted very easily.  When given room to be creative, well I get creative.  And apparently my creativity is not appreciated much in the world of art.  Clay gets catapulted across the room, peoples portraits that I draw have a few extra details added and so on.  My attention span and lack of maturity in my sense of humor do not mix with art.  

  So, how this will turn out remains to be seen.  I like art, I really do, but it does not like me.  Thankfully the class involves art projects but is more geared towards adapting them to fit the special needs of students.  That I can handle.  Although our individual project entails us making a weaving or something like that.  And that will not end  well.  I mean when I did my Methods last spring and spent 125 hours teaching, the only negative thing my supervisor had to say was "my hand writing is extremely bad and my students will pick up on those habits."  So I had to practice hand writing, yes, literally I had to trace letters and learn how to write "correctly."  So, that goes to show that anything that is being transfered from my hand to paper will not come out very good.

   But when I began to create my masterpieces I will be certain to upload some pics.  And don't worry, no one will get any ears in the mail.
