Okay paintings from last week are done--or well, if you're not, Mr H will offer time after classes for people to finish up.
We're going to move on to learning about shading (crosshatching, dotting, etc), contrast (black vs white), and cropping. They'll do some notes on these subjects on Monday then be told to bring in a picture from a magazine for Tuesday (school appropriate people). For the rest of the week, they'll be picking a 4 inch by 4 inch section of that picture to enlarge to 12 inches by 12 inches.
They can sketch in pencil, but the finished product must be in pen--which means the picture will be nothing but black and white, hence the need to learn shading techniques.
Talking about Psychoanalysis and its history this week. Yay for Sigmund Freud mindfuckery. Mr H will announce that the class will have an essay, two pages, due next week on the pros and cons of this style of psychology.
However, after the events of Tuesday expect a few cases of the whiteboard notes running away again. Mr H is distracted and upset over graffiti artists being pointed out as nothing more than criminals.
MENTOR GROUP + ART CLUB
Who wants to help Mr H make another mural?
GRAFFITI-RELATED
Mr H is very upset about the girl who was shot and the ones who were arrested. Normally he's not very into mutant politics and such, but these are fellow graffiti artists (even if they're probably only using the medium for their political message) and this makes him rather outraged at what happened.
Mr H will be touchy about the whole thing for the rest of the week.

The usual zoo of art-creatures will be around.
