Primary school art lessons

I loved doing my art lessons at Primary school

I loved using those Cray-pas we got as were got older

Wax crayons were so boring and uncool: not arty at all

I still remember doing some finger painting

I decided to use my initials to make mine cool

Only trouble was Stephen Schultz had the same idea

Both our initials were SS but I had R in mine

He had an A! When the paint was dry we fought

I thought it was mine: he thought it was his!
Silly little kids we were but memories linger still

With Cray-pas the colours were beautiful

We did drawings first with the Cray-pas

Then covered them with paints: the result

Was wonderful to my child's eye: fantastic!

In grade 6 we did real life drawings

I loved doing those: felt I knew how to do it

Just had the knack: drew Lynnie Charlton

She was a great model: I did her proud

I should have given her that picture as she asked

I really wish I had but I took it home to keep

Folded it in half: it tore and I just tossed it

Silly child that I was: I remember well that silliness!
