Potential

Had my second session with the lads last night and it was absolutly brilliant, it was pissin rain and a good crowd still came and showed interest. Kinda did individual tutorials this time showing different ways to do 3D effects and insert fill effects, it took a little while but the majority of the lads cracked it. Also showed some of my own recent work with some of the differnt styles just to give the guys some options to play around with.
A good few of 'em are showin' real potential, there doin sketches and practicing outside of class which is fantastic, so I mentioned getting a sketch pad and creating a graffiti 'blackbook' (experiment book) and have some fun with that. Theres a lot of ambiton in this group to learn and be part of something important to them, and I just feel lucky to be one of the people thats part of it. Hopefully I can keep it going for the whole term.

Also I want to make a correction to last weeks blog about a higher committe telling the youths that if they didn't do the class they wouldn't get to do the trip, it was my missunderstanding, the committee is actually made up of some of the lads form the class, so its all about motivation, helping them by giving them something to work towards, to help and create a work ethic, which I totally agree with, its not that the guys are being held to ransom by some higher authoritative figure, they actually govern there own learning which is definatly better than being told what to do. So sorry for the missunderstanding,
Keep ya posted,
