Do Clay Birds Fly?

We all have doubts

We started the day with getting our tags and moving out. Thankfully, instead of crawling up the hill, we went to the stable studio, which is further down. So we walked along, snatching a few berries from the blackberry bushes. When we arrived, we were welcome to a sight that would soon become a pile of enviroment.


We got our twigs, leaves, scotch broom, feathers, etc. to make the enviromental birds. I first rolled a ball of clay. But it turned out that it wasn't clay that I used.

I first made a bird of paradise. Second, I made an immense hummingbird (take an ordinary hummingbird and x4), and third I made a chick. My friend took the yucca fan and made a peacock. Then comes the balance factor...

So when we had done our enviromental birds, with are hands sticky with clay, we learned how to do wire birds. So I did mine and added pretty leaves. I called it Diortama because of the immenseness of the legs.

So we walked to lunch. And it was boring as usual. Nothing new.

Then we walked to Mitsy's class. We, apparently, were going to do self portraits. I dreaded self portraits. Mainly, because I drew humans with manga format, and even then I thought I was drawing badly. As my friend started on hers, she was complaining about it. I complimented on it, because it looked so good.

I started out mine with the basic form of an oval and 3 lines for the eyes. As I did mine grumpily, all it took to cheer me up was for the teacher to say it was good. Then I started enjoying mine.

So we had to start painting our skateboards. I started painting out the dragon. I started out with the green outline of the dragon I was drawing. I eventually started the wings. By the time the period had ended, I had moved on to a purple background.

So we were picked up. We anticipate the next day.
