Day four of the challenge – but it’s really day seven. Life comes at you fast and time flies but I’m committed to finishing out the last two prompts. Day four’s prompt is something you miss.
I miss my high school art class. When I first starting 9th grade, I considered what electives I should take. When I saw art, I thought it would be a waste of time. I assumed the class was formatted like a history art class. And while that’s not entirely boring, as a 15 year old, I didn’t think as I do now.
Sophomore year I heard different friends talking about how they enjoyed art class and I was so confused. Like you? Art class? Trusting the word of mouth, I selected it as an elective the following semester and actually got to paint and draw. Our teacher allowed us listen to soothing music during the period and I was in heaven. It was like a therapy session every other day…and I miss it.
I miss the time to decompress and just create something. Lines were straight or shading imperfect, but it was a cool time for me.
