It was while modelling for Coleg Gwent, at Crosskeys Campus, that there was an outburst from one of the students.
‘My genitals are not in my genital area’, she shrieked. All eyes were now on her crotch at which she blushed and said ‘No!, my drawing…’
Of course, the room was full of giggles and even the tutor was laughing. The commotion soon abated and the students diligently cracked on with their sketching, making great efforts to have my penis placed where it should be.
There are often unusual comments in the Life Room, unusual in that they would not be found, usually, in any other space. Certainly, new, younger students, have nervousness, to begin with, and I guess this nervousness leads to this unusual language.
Colleges tend to go with not much chatter during sessions but our Tuesday evening sessions are full of discussion across a wide range of topics. Sometimes I think that some regular attendees come along for the chat rather than the art.
I’ll be making note of other comments and maybe will collate them for the delectation of this audience :)
Here are some drawings from a recent college session.
