Summary: The Art Club is having it's first meeting! Come meet your fellow artists, make some friends, and create some art.
Rating: A for Art

The first ever meeting of the Luceti Art Club has Rapunzel a teensy bit nervous, but she's determined to make things a success and lots of fun for everyone. Even with the rainy morning, she's ready to adapt. She sends out a general message on the journal as a reminder of the meeting that day for everyone in town, including a note about a shift in location to the school on account of inclement weather.

Today's meeting will be composed of two sections:

First, a meet and greet. After introducing herself and saying a few words about the club, Rapunzel will leave the first half-hour of the meeting for people to socialize and get to know one another. If she sees someone standing alone, she will certainly steer them toward a conversation. After all, making friends is one of the top goals of this club! Rapunzel will also be dodging outside to catch stragglers and make sure anyone passing by knows what's going on.

Second, paper and crayons--yes, crayons--will provided for each participant. Rapunzel will then instruct them to close their eyes and imagine something unreal, and to trace whatever it is onto the paper with their eyes closed. Once they have, they can open their eyes and color the rest of it however they want! And then they can share said artistic creations with those around them. Sharing is caring. And also learning, in this case.

Before, during, and after the meeting, there will be refreshments provided, baked by Rapunzel herself. These refreshments include (but are not limited to): pastries, brownies, cookies, pies, breads, and tarts. There will also be pitchers of lemonade and plastic cups. Eat up and enjoy!

And remember, there are no mistakes, just happy accidents.

[That is a pretty fab drawing you've got there, Florian.]

That's great, Florian! What is it, exactly?

[positivelycharged]

It's.....a licorice moose.

[Not what he'd originally planned, but let's wing it.]

[gleamed]

[That is inspired.]

It's fantastic! I've never seen anything like it before. You have a great imagination!

[positivelycharged]

Really? Thanks!

[Suddenly proud of himself!? Wow he didn't think it was fantastic..!]

What did you draw?

[gleamed]

[She holds up her drawing of the spaghetti ostrich and Robin Hood.]

I drew this! This is Walter the Spaghetti-Strich and...Bow and Arrow Man! They are saving a cat.

[So creative.]

[positivelycharged]

Oh yeah, I like that! Especially the Spaghettistrich, it looks yummy. Like my moose!

[An edible menagerie?]

[gleamed]

Yes! ...Though we probably shouldn't eat them. That might hurt their feelings.

[positivelycharged]

That's true. We'd have to be nice to them! I wonder what tasty animals would eat though. Other tasty things?

[gleamed]

[Excellent question.] Tasty things or...maybe really gross things. That'd be weird.

[positivelycharged]

Maybe licorice meese eat licorice to keep them licoricey, and spaghettistriches eat spaghetti? [this totally makes sense.]

[gleamed]

Eat what they're made of? I don't know. People don't eat people.

[Most casual conversation about cannibalism ever.]

[positivelycharged]

But people eat meat right? And...water! And stuff.

[Keepin' it casual here, that's right.]

[gleamed]

That's true...but it's not the same! I don't know.

[positivelycharged]

Hmm...well, maybe they eat flowers then! That works too, maybe.

[gleamed]

[...Well, that makes sense to her!]

Okay, sure! let's say they eat flowers.

[positivelycharged]

Okay! Flowers are good to eat, and they smell good too.

[gleamed]

They do! I'm sure they taste very good to licorice and spaghetti creatures.

[positivelycharged]

[adding some flowers to his moose picture...]

Maybe if they eat enough flowers, they'll change color too!

[gleamed]

Exactly! Anything like that can happen in your imagination.

[positivelycharged]

Yeah! Maybe they can even fly~!

[gleamed]

Definitely! I don't see why not.

[positivelycharged]

Have you ever tried flying before? Or.....swimming!

[gleamed]

I've tried swimming! But not flying. Flying is kind of hard with such little wings. [She laughs.]

[positivelycharged]

I haven't tried swimming, but I got to sit in a flying thing once! And I tried to fly with my wings but you're right, it's really hard. Is swimming hard?

[gleamed]

It's not TOO hard! When you're in the water, your body just kind of knows what to do to keep itself afloat! But you have to have strong arms and legs to do it.
