Most of today I spent preparing for an art lesson .

I’ve not ever helped anyone with art before.

I decided to use my counselling skills, which are better than my teaching skills.

I think it’s disrespectful to teachers to assume that if you can do something, you can teach it.

So my plan is to bring out my student’s inner artist.

It’s how I learned. The practical skills I got from youtube, but it was the excitement and encouragement that kept me going.( and keeps me going.)

I don’t know if it will work. But I feel happy trying to pass on the thrill of painting, including some practical stuff.

Maybe that’s all that is possible, to pass on something that could make another person’s life more fulfilling.

My record as a ” teacher” is fairly abysmal so this time I’m playing to my strengths.

Will see how it goes. …..

Other than that I’ve stayed inside where it’s cool.

I think it’s cooler tonight outside .

Now I can relax again and have a glass of wine. It was time I tried something new.
