The first block is over; the second begins. Two students this time, who have already decided what they want to do. The life drawing session was better attended, which was a relief. I am assured that other waifs and strays will return once exams are over.
Having finished my first set of marking, I was flattered to receive an email asking if I would care to “second-mark” essays selected for distinction/honours grades. I then realised that the message was part of a group mailing, and probably not really, really intended for newbies like me. But it was jolly nice to be asked – thank you, Sharon. As it’s the end of the month, I might also get paid. Whoopee. My only other paid employment this month has been a two-day demonstration of Iron Age textile techniques to 8-11 year olds on Anglesey. That would probably have been a whole project blog on its’ own if I’d had enough notice, but I stepped in at the last minute to help out, so, little preparation and few photographs. And I can’t really link it into the Anatomy & Art project; although, it might connect into the ideas of healing wells, and things hidden and revealed in the landscape.
