i am so glad lately.
i looked forward to my 4n3 art students.
this i have to list:
- eka tries very hard to improve his sketches. he has learnt to be more independent after my mocking of his every seconds of confirmation for every line or colours he has added.
- xiaozhen is on auto-mode. progressing from stage to stage. foreign to a lot of issues, but never giving up.
- axel takes my instructions seriously, did most things to almost perfection. he has felt improvement, but is still humble. he stops complaining of hard work.
- ridhwan took an independent stand and decided not to be distracted. he responds to my suggestions and added more of his opinions. progress is very satisfactory.
- zairie appreciated my constant nagging and scolding and puts in very visible effort now. he is starting to become more independent.
- suzanna understood my concern for not sacrificing the quality of her work. she now tries harder to show more awarness and took pride in her work.
- hafizah was intrigued by her capability after i pushed her on to another area so as to sustain her interest and bring her back. she begins to seek for perfection in her work.
- barney still sleeps, but he'd never minded me using him as example to spur the rest, even if it meant putting him down. he talked a lot, but showed progress.
- ben looks into my eyes now when i speak to him. he doesn't just nod his head, he questions and seeks for ways to improve. he is eager to start his work.
- pengkai learnt to read my mind now. he understood what it meant when i twitched my mouth, raised an eyebrow, paused when i point at an area of his sketch, and even just a simple "Oi!".
- neeza works doubly hard now. she finds a spot and sit and work till the bell goes off. she is rather surprising in the exploration of ideas.
- zhangtai apologised for all the frowns i showed at him. he is super slow, but is trying hard. he wouldn't mind even if i have to slap him to push him on.
- vic had shown drastic improvement. from a playful brat who doesn't care, to a sweet boy that stayed back many days just to do his work. his improvement in drawing skills amazed us.
- teli is super slow but produced wonderful sketches. like axel, he'd stopped complaints of hardwork and understood my reason for pushing them over the boundary. he'd rather stayed back for art than maths.
- yangxu showed more concern for his work. more details can be seen in the hard work he has decided to adopt. he helped the others when i asked and at times, helped even if i didn't mention.
- guanjin can be easily motivated if she is not absent. she is considerate of how i may not be able to spend more time with her work, and always making sure she has everything ready before asking questions.
- yingkwang opens up more in art. he has ideas, he needs to figure out how to express them confidently. i think he is on the right track in finding out how. it is a pleasure to discuss his work, and he never fails to make me smile from the bottom of my heart.
they have annoyed me, upset me, irritated me, angered me so much before.
time spent together allows us to appreciate each others' existence, endure everyones' nonsense and enjoy every minute in the art room.
i am this glad lately, really.
