I think it just changed to, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
My painting class starts back up today... Good times are sure to be had. I was also supposed to be starting a true beginners class tonight so people who need (and want) a lot more assistance and direction could get the time and attention they deserve. I always feel bad (for any number of reasons) for the true beginners who end up in the regular class. Most end up not coming back. My boss and I felt offering an evening class for true beginners might bring in a different crowd. As of last week, enrollment was ZERO!! I wasn't surprised. Sometimes a class needs to be in the books for a session or three before enough people happen upon it, or before schedules mesh.
As of this morning, I had still not heard whether it was officially canceled, or if through some painting magic, we had the needed minimum of 8. They were supposed to call and let me know. I finally called them, pretty sure the answer must be no... or they would have called!! Right??
WRONG!
I have class tonight. They did not get the minimum, but because they love me, they're going to let it run with 3, and hopefully we can build from there. I have nothing planned... and am I planning? No, it appears I'm writing a blog post.
my clients never understand when I delay their work for a blog post either. people are SO unreasonable.

I plan on planning during my first class. :)

I should plan for the Robotics meeting tonight, also; but I never do.

ooof. Which reminds me; I better print out the Game Manual....

Good luck and have fun, Jennifer!!

Oh how fun! (had to tone down my excessive exclimation points so that this will actually post for me but believe me, there were a few more after fun)
I so wish I lived near you. I am a true beginner in every sense of the word and would LOVE to learn. Especially by someone like you- cool, fun and funny!
The only thing about "true beginner" classes is when some jackass who already knows a bit shows up. That happened to me in a crochet class. I think that I was the only one that really knew nothing.
Have fun tonight! :)
((Hugs))

Could one of you planners plan my next blog post for me?
It's cold and raining, so I don't want to leave the camera out by the bird feeder...

Will you make all the beginners buy berets?
Posted by: B^4 | January 11, 2012 at 01:57 PM
and wear big moustashes?
Posted by: Laura | January 11, 2012 at 02:38 PM
I think perhaps the STANDARD class should be wearing the mustaches....with the big nose/black glasses combo.
Yes, the black glasses would make them BAD ART STUDENTS.

O look. There's a whole NOTHER tradition to bring Laura up to speed on.
Wait till she gets her first Zardoz.

Listen, blogging is VERY IMPORTANT. Which is what I tell myself when I should be cleaning my house, tending to my child or running an errand.

I wish I could take your class! maybe we could set up a skype. it could be like interactive Joy of Painting.
have I made this joke before? I feel like I have made this joke before.

I would do a Skype class!

Probably at 3Bulls.

I believe we talked about skyping K at Von's party, and then we continued on the blogs... You know, like beating a dead horse, or freezing the fish.

I am shocked--SHOCKED--to find jokes being reused at this establishment. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my nursing tank.

Aaaaaand one-two-three everybody move to the canvas to your left!
Posted by: Substance McGravitas | January 11, 2012 at 10:53 PM
LOL! I have actually done that before! Don't underrate it.
Posted by: Jennifer | January 11, 2012 at 10:59 PM
I think you should do a BYOB painting class.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | January 11, 2012 at 11:40 PM
Surely that surprises EXACTLY NO ONE.

Taking cute cat pictures and writing amusingly misspelled captions, as if the cats had written them.

I had a teacher put up a bunch of white Chinese food cartons on a white sheet with white plastic utensils scattered around.
Taught us there was no such thing as white in painting.
Posted by: fish | January 12, 2012 at 07:41 AM
Yes, I've done white on white... the thing is, this class is geared to people with NO EXPERIENCE, only a desire to learn... and being the first night, that would be a bit much for them in the beginning.
Beside, the people who registered them forgot to hand out the supply list... we had a nice chat last evening instead... :)
Posted by: Jennifer | January 12, 2012 at 08:00 AM
Like I said, if you had done it BYOB it would have been a HUGE success.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | January 12, 2012 at 08:23 AM
you could have brought some chocolate Skittles and played 3B radio....

I hope you saw this terrific dragon.
Posted by: Substance McGravitas | January 13, 2012 at 12:37 AM
Oh! That's awesome!
Posted by: Jennifer | January 13, 2012 at 05:58 AM
I'm also wondering how many burnt fingers there were...
