Haha, and now imagine how annoying it can be when you explain something for ALL the kids and then you have to explain again for each as they did not listen or understand... *sighs*
And they are nearly 18!!!

Those are the lazy ones.

The new "Azubis" are lazy as hell, they dont listen, they dont like to work and tbey dont take notes.

This isnt meant for everyone in this age, but from the ones I can watch at work, they alwqys sit around, staring into the void.

I hate that they are lazy like that... *sighs*
We always try our hardest to make the pupils understand that they will not get the jobs they want that way... But our main problem is that parents to not support us at all or CANNOT support us once it is too late.
Their kids are little princes and princesses and that will hurt our society a lot one day....

We are doomed?

Oh my!

Nah, I still ahve hope on the ones that will try their best and more.

limi: an art teacher!! that's so cool :D do you teach a specific medium for your older kids?

jelly: lol i didn't know what an azubi was, i thought it was either an insult or compliment xD
they're students that need to take an apprenticeship!

Azubi is a short german word for someone who learns its job.

Sorry I dont know the word in english and forgot to look it up.

Well, if you take it correctly, Azubi CAN BE an insult or compliment x'D

I am teaching different mediums depending on age.
9th class (age 15) has printing as topic (Linoleum printing) and I am doing Copper Work with them. Even though I just learned Copper Work and am a pupil myself in that.
10th class has landscapes in ink as topic.
11th has bookbinding.
12th class has "humans" as topic. So the point is that they have to create a piece of art that shows a human or has something to do with humans, but they themselves choose the medium and their work speed and I am only there to give tips, help and remind them that they need to finish their piece of art in time xD

Sounds soooo cool.

Can you link us some of those copper works, would like to see it.

Yeah, sure xD

This one was a work in progress photo of the first cup I made.



And this one shows a variety of things my predecessor did. I want to keep them until I get a few "new ones" myself xD

Wow, those are awesome works!

Nice and dirty stuff to work with!

Thank you for sharing
