I've been really bad about posting on here, I know. I've been quite busy the past few weeks - swimming 3 times a week, and trying to spend the rest of the day outside. The weather here has been so perfect, 70's and sunny.
I had the perfect opportunity to be outside on Tuesday of this week. There was a big Junior High sports tournament, in which all the sports teams of all the JHS's in Niigata City competed against each other for 2 days. There were no classes for those days, so on Tuesday I got to spend the day with the art club.
We met at the school and the art teacher lent me some paper and pastels (this is the same art teacher who introduced me to his friend who teachers ceramics). We drove to a nearby rice field which is famous for some reason or another, and then set out blankets and sat in the fields and sketched. All day. Until 3 pm.
Those little blue specks you see in the fields are my students. The painting was done by my art teacher, definitely not by me. And the can is full of orange slices, and I thought it was pretty cute that my students drew all over it. Finally, you can see my drawing after it was stolen by the wind and dropped into a flooded rice field. I managed to recover it by tying a rope to a large branch and throwing the branch at it.
