Art Class

How lovely. Last week I opened my emails and received the most touching message from student and friend, Sue Grant. I'm going to have to get this printed out on parchment paper and get it framed. It'll look just right next to my ACI Certificate. Thank you Sue, that's so lovely and I will treasure this. xx

ART CLASS - By Sue Grant

Hurray, Hurray, art class today.
Off I set in my Honda Jazz,
Full of joy, and full of p'zazz,
What will be the subject today?
Will it be blossom in the month of May?
Or perhaps a sunflower and a busy bee,
Or sunbeams glancing off a leafy tree.

Hurray, Hurray, art class today.
I pick up the canvas and paint it white,
Put in a sky, but that's too light,
Add some more blue, says teacher Sue,
And a cheeky cloud, that's what I'd do.
Tap in some bushes and distant trees ,
A few flowers here and some busy bees.

Hurray, Hurray, art class today.
At last the painting's looking good,
But whoops, I wonder how I could
Paint my jumper white and green,
And both my hands a delicate sheen,
Of blue and red and yellow too,
But never mind, along comes Sue.

Hurray, Hurray, art class today.
Sue has grandma's paint remover,
It moves the stains off like a hoover,
So soon my painting's back on track,
The only thing I think it lack's,
Is a touch of white to highlight here,
And a bit of shadow to bring the trees near.

Hurray, Hurray, art class today,
We walk around with Oohs and Aahs,
I love your distant trees afar!
That cloud is great, I love your sky!
And what effect has that water nearby!
We praise each others' works of art,
And leave the class, so sad of heart,

But never mind, it won't be long,
I'll soon be back to sing my song,
'Hurray, Hurray, art class today'
To paint a picture in wonderful hues
And hear my family's aahs and oohs
The thing that I would like to say
Is just how much I enjoy the day.
