On Friday, my sponsor mainly had me sort out drawers and closets in the visual arts area and put things in order. First I organized the drawers of colored paper and wrote down which colors they were missing. Then I organized the closet full of paint and painting supplies. I quickly mounted a few paintings on to colored paper for a summer display that will be in the lobby, then moved on to organizing a huge closet that is used during the Fine Arts summer camp. I really honestly love putting things in order, and I love the satisfied feeling I get from cleaning up something that was a chaotic mess before. I also felt like this was a really big help to the visual arts department (the state of their drawers and closets showed that they really don't have time to do this themselves). So on Friday, I actually had a lot of fun.
One of the drawers I cleaned out belonged to a teacher who used to teach full time but now only teaches one class. I had to sort through the drawer and decide what to throw away, since she wouldn't be using it anymore. I ended up finding some really adorable artwork from her comic book art class, and took some pictures.
I’m pleased to hear that you are enjoying the task of organizing and are satisfied with preparing paintings that will eventually be displayed on a wall. I just hope that you didn’t drop any paint on your shoes or clothing when you were arranging the paint supplies. For the past few days, the majority of the work I’ve been doing was related to organizing the store, and it honestly got a bit dull and boring—shocking, right? Yes, doing this work with Chloe is already a plus, but I think if you were there with your perspective on organizing, it would have been better. The drawings are so amusing (in an adorable way not a teasing way), especially the one of the elephant. The elephant on the bottom looks like it is holding an acorn or peanut…or maybe even a berry in its nose. I absolutely love little children’s drawings. Whenever I go to my friend’s house, her little sister always makes me sit on the couch and flip through her coloring book. Come to think of it, the last post of yours that I read talked about organizing and posting paintings. Do you ever get a chance to use those supplies to create artwork yourself as well as prepare it?
