Free Art Friday

Yesterday was free art friday at the Union, so a group of us decided to go and paint some flower pots, which we would get flower bulbs for. Last time I had gone, which was for stained glass night I really had no desire to go, but I was guilted into it. I got there expecting some cool watercolor tye thing or acrylic painting on actual glass. No such luck! We were given a piece of translucent fiberglass (a small piece btw) which we were told to draw on with colored pencils. After which it was put in an oven and heated. When the fiberglass rectangle was heated it shrunk, solidified, and gained some depth.
Due to my lack of desire to be there and lack of creativity, I decided to draw an exploding bear. My drawing continued to become less socially acceptable when I proceeded to write the words “Sometimes Bears Explode & God Cries BLOOD.” This of course was inspired by the popular poster of Domo Kun chasing after a kitten with the words “Every time you masturbate… God kills a kitten.”
This week I decided to continue the trend of social innaceptability, and pain my pot in societ colors. The bottom was red, the trim yellow, and it sported the communist soviet insignia of the sickle and hammer. I also decided to draw a missile, and write “Вырасти за коммунизм” or “Grow for communism.” My parents would certainly not approve of this, having been able to escape communism to give me a better life. Heck, I hate communism much more than any normal person would, having spent 7 years of my youth in Cuba. I know what communism is. I know that communism sucks!
After I was done painting the pot, I proceeded to plant the flower bulbs in it. There were daisies and tulips. I planted 2 tulips and a daisy. Hopefully the daisy turns outto be yellow, and the tulips red, so that they could match the communist motif of the pot.
