my little man of clay

i had no idea it was so hard to make "un petit homme" in clay. my little man looks completely distorted and i have yet to attach the head. so the sculpture lesson started at 5pm...some 8 hours after i arrived. Prof. Waller came in for 5 minutes today. he said (to Max, in German) that i have 'good lines'. but i must draw larger. ok, tomorrow...attach clay head, draw larger. the question remains...draw WHAT larger? (i cannot spend another three hours drawing the stray cat in the parking area, i'm sorry..i just can't). to do list: >buy handsoap and coffee filters for the "Academy" (used paper towels this morning) >begin still life library collection....ask Bert not to throw away the bits from the boat that he doesn't want, search this weekends market >find smock or apron for sculpture sessions >get flea collar for stray cat (a.k.a model) >bring a knife for lunchtime sandwich making (an Exacto knife, though it may literally 'cut it', just doesn't do it for spreading mustard) do you think i'm the first girl to spend any time at the Academy? yes, i do think so.
