WASH....day 1

Hey People, So I'm a little late getting this up but here it is anyways, here is a brief summary of how my first day in the WASH program went.
I didn't have trouble finding the building because I am in Boy Scouts and the lodge is right down the street from it and I remember passing the WASH building many times on my way to scouts. When I arrived I was a little worried, because it was my first day in a college art class. I walked in and was instantly greeted by one of the teachers with a huge smile and a tiny slip of paper, I learned later on that her name is Valerie. She informed me to sit where I would like, so i gave the room a quick scan. I saw a familiar face sitting at a table in the back, a classmate of mine in the previous semester. I put my stuff down next to my new home for the rest of this semester. Me and my friend sat there and talked a little bit about what the class would be like until Katherine Kelly, the other WASH teacher began talking to the whole class. She explained a little about the class and how it functions. After she was done with the mechanics she gave us our first assignment...We had to choose if we are a daydream or a nightmare and create an appendage for our choice. Back at my table I studied the newspaper and tape for a few minutes before I had the sudden burst of ideas hit me. I began tracing my hand, then outlining the hand one inch further than the original, cut that hand out and repeat the same process for that hand, tape the sides together, cut the fingers off, make the paper claws (almost everyone made these growing up..they were so COOL back in the day), tape the claws to the glove where the fingers went, and finally covered the hole glove in at least one layer of tape. When I was done I talked to my fellow table mates to pass the time. When time was up we had to do a "fashion" show where we paraded our designs around. I waited patiently for quiet a bit before i decided to go. After everyone had gone we sat down in front of a projector and watched some slides about cardboard as Kelly told us about our upcoming assignments.
Lunch time :)
Getting back from lunch we immediately went over the syllabus page by page along with another packet with helpful information in it. After this we were split into groups where we would discuss what was on the tiny sheet of paper. It was a quote by someone and we had to express our opinions on them. After both groups had finished we got back together to talk some more, mainly lecturing. Taking notes I noticed that a lot of what she was saying was stuff I've never considered before but yet it made perfect sense to me. When done with her notes Kelly devided us into groups by tables and we each had to show a representation of an element in art but with sound. My group was assigned with Value, so we said Cha-Ching! where the cha was in a deep tone and the ching was in a higher tone. After this Kelly told us what our homework was and showed us some examples. Later we were dismissed
