In Exarcheia there is a self-run, self-organised building where people organise all sorts of cool free stuff just because they feel like it. They have book presentations, film showings, concerts, parties, discussions and all sorts of free lessons. My sister has been going to the spanish and photography lessons since last year.
I could never go to their drawing classes because I was working, but this year they changed the day and time, so I can make it. I'm not sure I'm actually going to learn anything; the class is completely chaotic and lapsydaisical and the teacher absolutely refuses to actually teach us anything.
Today was actually the best lesson yet. We did quick sketches. I like quick sketches, much more that boring life drawings. Especially of white objects using charcoal. Bleurgh! I think I'm going to cheat and show up with my own materials and draw what I feel like.
That's what I did today. We were supposed to be using a soft pencil for the sketches. I told the teacher I already knew how to sketch with a pencil, so I was going to use a dip pen instead. Which I did. And it was a lot more fun that a boring pencil.
Here I am being a good girl and sketching the subject!
And here I am getting bored and sketching the teacher instead!
