Come inside guys. Whoever signed up for this class. Come. And sit. And look at the man in the long coat and bacon/seaweed hair. Who is sitting at the front desk with a large book and a big latte that Garry took a swig from before standing up and looking cheerfully at his students. Ahhh, fall time means pumpkin spice lattes.

"Good morning everyone! And welcome to Painting 101!"

Well, this guy seems nice. Maybe you feel more at ease. Seriously, you can't get nicer with this guy.

"For those who haven't met me yet, I'm Garry. No need with the formality 'Mister'. 'Garry' is just fine."

Uh okay, he writes his name on the board. TWO "R's". YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS.

"I'm going to make this very brief for an introduction, so we can go to the painting right away..."

Now he looked SERIOUS.

"You may be thinking, 'Gosh, what if I don't have enough talent for this class'. Or, 'I'm going to fail and all the other students are more talented than me'."

He shakes his head, "That isn't what art is about. My class is all about teaching you the technique. The expression and what you put on the canvas will be all you. And no student is going to paint the same, that does NOT mean you don't have talent. You can discover any talent you never knew you had with one stroke of a paintbrush or with a fair amount of practice; and there's nothing wrong with either. If you come to me and honestly tell me that you feel your work is inadequate, I will tell you that you only lack self confidence. Self confidence goes such a long way. That said, there's always room for improvement in everyone. Even me. If you ask for honest critique so you CAN feel better, I will help. I learned this all from MY art professors, and now I'm telling you." Garry paused a bit.

"However, as your teacher, I do expect to see effort, participation, and punctuality. That is what you're graded on, after all. But as long as you work hard, you'll do just fine in this course."

He clasped his hands together, sounding off he was done with his speech.

"Any questions?"

[TIME TO GET CULTURED. Seaweed man, Lyra has already decided she likes the cut of your jib. Be prepared for her to never ever spell your name right ever, though.]

[cupofbatnoodles]

IZZY WAS HERE.

SHE SAT DIRECTLY BEHIND LYRA AND BREATHED IN HER GENERAL DIRECTION.

Time to get artsy with Mr. Harm Grapes.

[robinsegg]

[Sig's here. Well somewhat. You know how his mind's always spaced out. :')]

[afternoonsun]

There was a purple cat sitting in one of the seats.

[paletteknife]

Oh hey it's Garry's FAVOURITE PERSON.

[deathboss]

[And there is...Eikichi?!

What's a 6'3" Punk doing here and looking pretty comfortable about it?]

[stay_classy_cat]

[No art class is complete without some stuck up wannabe art snob.]

[drawin_on_trees]

"Art class art class art class art class art class-" art class art class ART CLASS. Amazingly, Skull Kid is not hopped up on lollipops right now. He's just like that.

Re: ATTENDANCE

[breaks_pots]

Link was there. And if there was paint easily accessible, he already had his hands in it and was finger painting.

WHO ELSE CAME HERE? YOU. IN THE BACK.

[the_blue_rose]

[testsubject1]

[Chell is here, sitting quietly in the back.]

[rivalsweetscent]

Bulba kind of sat around towards the back, letting the actual students mingle towards the front and get good seats. He'd told Garry he'd show up after all, if his schedule allowed it and... Well. It had!

[thewrightidea]

Phoenix actually decided to sit in on this class. He hadn't done much artwork since college, but he was an art major after all.

He might as well watch.

QUESTIONS

[the_blue_rose]

"Why do you talk like a lady?" is not accepted.

[genderbentmario]

Lyra, admittedly, was very much not an artist. Like, at all. She was simply surveying the dazzling array of various paint varieties as if they were exotic spices used by celebrity chefs on other planets.

Only one thing to do, then: enquire with an expert.

"Why do you talk like a l--" Wait shit no nevermind.

"So, uh... what kinda paint do you like using best?"

WHAT? AN ASSIGNMENT?

[roses_are_blue]

"With all that out of the way, it looks like we have a bit of free time."

Did you notice on the table there was a big box of wax fruit? Of all kinds too. And just about every painting medium?

"It's just for fun so help yourself to these and the paper on your desk canvases. And well, observe and paint. We will start an actual class next time."

And how do you do at this? Garry is walking around watching.

[testsubject1]

Chell quietly begins painting, coming up with some semblance of a still-life.

[rivalsweetscent]

Bulba is squinting at an object on the table.

He looked down and squinted at his paper.

And then the table. His paper.

The table. Paper.

Table.

Pa... per....



What is.

What.

How.

Squint.

HERE TO RUIN YOUR CLASS FOREVER

[cupofbatnoodles]

"It's a Banana."

[iaiai]

Ai took watercolor paints. And she painted. Perhaps not using them correctly, but she looked fairly pleased with the experience regardless.

After class

[roses_are_blue]

Garry is at his desk, going through the assignment, finishing his coffee and a scone he got. Or sucking on lemon candy.

He wants to smoke but he will wait until he's alone and outside.
