Description I volunteer in a nursing home every week, and normally I go around talking to all the residents spending time with them, however today, they asked me to come up into art and craft and demonstrate something arty . . . i was very nervous since I specialize in a specific type of ::coughs:: art O,....,0 !! So eventually I got over my fear, sat down to brand new pastel and blank paper, and before I could stop myself, I began to draw (this my first time using chalk pastels) and before I could stop myself, I went wild with my black pastel and began to draw a monster for them all xD (its funny cause everyones mouths dropped to floor while one of the doctors were drawing a rainbow lol). Log story short, instead of becoming scared by my drawing, everyone became SUPER excited, but most fascinating was that all the elderly people went wild when they saw me drawing the monster xD They acted as if they had gone to a haunted circus or live entertainment LOL And one old lady became so excited by my simple drawing that she actually got out of her wheel chair and began to forcefully walk towards me even though her adult children and the doctor kept telling her that she isnt supposed to get out of her chair XD <3 Poor old lady lol I convinced her to get back in her chair and instead, wheeled her over to my spot before continuing with my drawing for her !! This was my first time drawing anything in front of group O_O! It was very exciting to see them all smiling :3 !!!!

I like his eyes and your story made me think how often people follow schematic patterns of behavior, act mechanically, loose individuality. Pensioners in a nursing home are probably treated in this way by doctors and nurses. same art workshop done every time over and over again and the same. And you had the courage to break out from that pattern, give them something fresh, something, they did not expect. Something to make them think and wonder. A good gift.

It had to be interesting for them, to see you drawing... because even though this is relatively simple drawing, you can still tell a lot of time (and black pastel ) went into it. And I have to say, considering (or, well, even if not considering ) it's your first time drawing with chalk pastels, you handle them very well!

Thankyou >.< <3 Yeah it was hard but then I realized that everyone is between the ages 90 and 100, which made me realize that no one will make fun of me xD on the other hand, I was more nervous as to how they would react to seeing a monster lol but surprisingly enough, it was a smashing hit to them xD They fell in love instantly lol and no one thought I was a psycho xD LOL
