Day 4 - class work
For yesterday…The instructions were to illustrate a”good” childhood memory. This one is when I went on a trip to Germany and Austria with my family as a little kid. While there, I ate lots of kaiser rolls with butter, enjoyed the guesthouse beds with those big fluffy white duvets and long white fluffy pillows (which I’d never seen before) and generally had a great time. I stuffed my face at every Cafe Konditorei (pastry shop) they’d let me in.
I also bought a pair of FM radio headphones at a store called “Hi Fi” (which I think was already a dated concept by then). I made up a ridiculous dance which I did as a means of transportation instead of walking down the sidewalk.
I would have liked to have captured the utter goofiness a bit better, and made the kid have more personality, but this is what I had time for.
