As a special project for our newest teacher, and because she mentioned lacking certain prowess in this area, I invite you all to draw, mouse or paint- as the Big Bad wolf is quoted to have said..."by the hair of my chinny chin-chin"...

Paint eyelashes on those eyes you drew last month, or a moustache under that nose you created last month, or above those lips you sketched last month, try eyebrows, different hair styles, partially bald heads, take out that prom or wedding photo from WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY back then and draw for us that "beehive" you once thought was the best fashion statement you ever saw in the mirror. Draw DAs, Elvis's dooo, military cuts( sometimes called sidewalls), dredlocks, pony tails, braids, "Shirley Temple" golden curls, peach fuzz, goa-tees, full beards, "Cookie Burns" sideburns, (Route 66, remember?). For grins and giggles, try ARM hair, or "knuckle hair" (I'm sure that the hair that grows between the knuckle and first joint of a man's hand has a name but I really don't know what it is)...

I want to see HAIR, not the Broadway play, nor of the "mons pubis" or an athlete's underarm. If we were European or Eons less restrictive, I might have included these since "nudes" aren't always portrayed with bikini-waxes. I am leaving this paragraph right now...

Try different media- water colors, oils, pen and ink, CGA artists- scan in a photo of someone without facial hair and create some or include a different hair style. You got the idea. And just as importantly, do me a favor. Reach out to one or two of the inactive members via a PM (private message) and invite them to try their hand at this exercise.

And so, Terry, HAIRRY UP, it's a short month...
