CPP Response #88: Marble

I had a talk with my mom, who has been a drawing teacher in her past, about wanting to learn to improve my drawings. My dilemna is that I want to learn to improve my drawings and I don’t want to learn what normal drawing teachers want to teach me.

My Young Man made some comment and my mom (his grandma) said that I had always wanted to learn this way, that I wanted to get into a topic myself with minimal direction and then get specific help. She continued that she thought that is why I had always been bored in school.

I thought it was interesting to hear my mom’s take on my life, even a small slice, and to hear her having this discussion with my Young Man while I was sitting right there.

Anyway, she gave me some tips, which I will try out. She also said that she could see the improvement in my work, which turned out to be a much needed boost to my ego.

Here is my response for the Creative prompt, Middle, which was posted on August 20, 2010. You can see the original prompt and join inthe fun.

SherriD’s response is really great. I agree with her comment that this was a hard one. I don’t always have an idea in mind when create a prompt. Sometimes I do and sometimes I can think of one during the week, but often I have to let the word simmer for awhile after it is posted.
