In the process of becoming a/an - II

To be an artiste one needs more support and guidance. That's why, I decided to meet the alumni…..You don’t understand a word? (Normally it happens if you read my post regularly…) Then you have missed what I said yesterday….So Read this First…

As the alumni wanted me to keep them anonymous, here am just giving you their First Letter in their Respective names!

Ms. A, Alumni, School of Arts (SoA) : So Bee, tell us what are all your problems ?

Me: Problem is, sir has asked me to draw a straight line… Am just baffled and perturbed… how do I draw a line?

Mr. P: That’s simple bee dear! (He is one another alumni)

Me: Is it? Can you draw one for me and show…

Mr. P: Fine. Let me explain, take a small piece of thread and hold it; do you see a line here?

Me: Yes. Oh! Ok… I see a line... You are making it sound so simple;

Mr. P: Now place them on the surface you plan to draw; place it in such a way that the two ends meet face to face; Ok. Now take your Pencil and draw along the thread like this ( he draws and shows)…

Me: Oh! But it resembles a circle? He stared at me! Sorry, if am wrong…am just a beginner…

Ms. M: (as Mr. P found it difficult to explain, she came in to help me) Both the ends of the thread should not touch each other while you place it on the board. By doing so, you always know that when you take the thread and hold, it will be a straight line…

Me: Yeah! Now I understand!

Ms. M: You should also understand that there are 420 ways to place the thread & to draw a straight line... But only by this way you would be confident to have a straight line….Also, don’t worry about Sir, he always says this is absurd! It works well with us!

Me: Now tell me which is the best dress to wear for the class; As instructed by Sir, I try my level best not to spill paint in the canvas … but at the end of the class, I have all those colours in my dress…

Ms. A: That’s a good question. You are the 1000^th one to ask this! let me give you some key advice: Always wear a white dress… by this way whatever colour you spill will be a fashion or a design on its own; You can also plan to have a boutique; there will be celebrities queuing up all the time outside your show room to buy the battered, crumpled and paint spilled dresses… Call it the Bee’s Collections!

MS. J (She is one another new comer like me, came with me to meet the alumni) "I want to become an artiste but am not interested in all those designer wear studios you are speaking about…I want to be a full time painter an exhibitor am finding it very challenging. There's so much around to think and create! Got any tips to make it easier?"

Mr. P: Good one my dear. Initially you can start collecting the hand towels which you all use to clean your painted hands! Then analyze each piece! Which ever Kerchief or towel you find intriguing, like bit torn here and there; or if you have one or 2 predominant colours that would be fine. Place them on a contrasting surface fix it up. Frame it! Wow!

Ms. M: That’s it! Call it Modern Art ! When asked tell them that its about a poor girl or that its your love story! It will be an instant Hit

Ms. J: You all make it sound so simple and neat. Thank you! Thank you so much! ( She was emotional) Even I felt the same.

Me and Ms J together: Anything more you have got to tell; we look forward…

Ms. A and Mr. P: Make sure that you don’t keep your paintings in your living room; IF your parents and your siblings in your house have not taken insurance, better ask them to take one now; they might need it after seeing your spectacular creations; They might have some eye problems; take them to the specialist!

Ms. M: Dont allow your pets near your creations. But have them near you while you paint! you will have the hit design!

Ms. A:Whenever you want to wear your designer wear dress, check whether there are any bulls around... Don’t worry Bee and J, You will make it!

Me: "Thank you for your inputs, Ms.A, Ms. M and Mr. P;
I'd really like to see for myself how well your system works.

With this, they all left. Now that am clear, place your orders for your designer dress. You could either drop in your requirement in the comments section or write to me at honeybeesleeps@gmail.com
