The Art of Scrap, Friday, Period 4

Okay, cool. Dean had been on the island for exactly a week now, and so far he was still more or less sane. This probably had something to do with the way he'd managed to avoid actually meeting any of the students yet, granted. But for the time being? Sane ( Read more... )

Needing more coffee for this.

Lecture! advanceapology January 6 2012, 06:12:06 UTC

Listen, take notes if you're feeling good and ambitious, wonder what's up with this teacher, dread the fact that he's going to make you work with garbage, grab more coffee, whatever.

It was actually a pretty good thing that Dean mentioned that part about not eating paste, because Butters had a jar of it in his hand by the end of the lecture and had sort of been wondering what it might taste like.

Butters slowly, carefully, subtly, put the paste back.

Okay he was letting her have coffee. He was officially the best teacher ever. George was pouring herself a generous mug and inhaling it. Once that was down, she was getting another cup.

She was even going to try to fucking participate in class. Just for this guy, because he fucking gave her coffee.

There's a wealth of old, discarded, totally moddable periodicals here for you to choose from, so go nuts, guys. Just try to refrain from making anything too phallic on your posterboard, unless you can justify it in front of the class.

... Artists are kind of obsessed over that kind of thing. It's a totally fair warning.

Nathan wasn't an artist. Sure, he liked to think himself exceptionally gifted in everything but he knew the truth. He wasn't an artist and he'd never be an artist but that wasn't going to stop him from trying to create...something.

Hopefully it wouldn't come out looking like a ransom note.

Claudia grabbed several antique (to a 17 year old, anyway) copies of Popular Mechanics and went to town. She had no idea what she wanted to create, so she just started cutting out shapes and gluing them together.

What? Dean hadn't said they couldn't go three dimensional on top of their posterboard, right?

It took Marshall a few minutes to figure out what he actually wanted to do, but then he started cutting out all the letters he could find.

No, it wasn't for a ransom note.

Present Your Masterpieces! advanceapology January 6 2012, 06:19:08 UTC

Dean cleared his throat near the end of class, standing up and holding up a newspaper collage that turned out to actually be a pretty impressive portrayal of a mug of coffee, made using mostly bits of pictures of women's hair for the coffee in the mug, and blue skies of different hues for the mug itself. He'd run out of time and used a wisp of cigarette smoke from an old ad for the steam, instead of trying to piece that together out of words from the newsprint, like he'd been planning to do.

"Self-explanatory, huh?" Dean was smirking as he nodded toward his own coffee mug. "The stuff of life, kids. Trust me. You'll understand someday."

Like, as soon as they made it to college. Especially if they went on to art school.

"Okay, your turns. Let's see your work, hear your names, and learn a little something about what you put together, there."

"Claudia Donovan," Claudia said, offering up an odd little salute. "And, uh, this -- among other things -- is what I do."

She set a fresh, steaming cup of coffee on a nearby desk, then held her work for the day over it. A big paper fan stuck off one end on a scissor axle, spinning slowly thanks to the steam rising off the coffee, setting off a chain reaction of little wound paper belts and posterboard-covered-in-car-ads gears.

"It doesn't actually do anything other than spin." She shrugged. "And, you know, look kinda neat."

Re: Present Your Masterpieces! advanceapology January 6 2012, 19:08:08 UTC

Well, Dean was suitably impressed. He'd made one or two sculptures that had moving parts in the past, but not out of paper and coffee steam. He let out a low whistle.

"Well, this is art class," he pointed out, walking over to get a better look. "Looking 'kinda neat' is one of those things that comes in kind of handy with this sort of thing, you know?"

He watched the whole thing at work for another moment before glancing up at her.

"So, you're some kind of mechanic, I'm guessing?"

Re: Present Your Masterpieces! notmyownage January 6 2012, 19:38:34 UTC

"Amateur physicist, mostly," Claudia explained. "And general tech whiz. You need something hacked into or cobbled together, I'm your girl."

Whose coffee mug never runs dry. Like the stuff of legend.
