Open Conglomerated Arts Club Meeting Y49/S1

[Lucy Montague]

Lucy was in a good mood for today's meeting. Perhaps the turnout wasn't always as good as she'd like, but she appreciated the people who did come. She waited for most of the students to arrive, the room set up with various stations with different means of making art - the first station was a variety of different musical instruments, all situated near the piano. The second station was mostly visual art supplies - paints, fabrics, canvases, paper, glue, and so forth. The third station was the plainest - pieces of parchment and paper along with quills and ink. Costumes lingered in the background, hung on wheeled racks. Lucy beamed at the members who had assembled, excited to present this meeting's subject.

"Welcome everyone! To new members, I hope you've been making the most of this room already, but if you haven't, feel free to use it as you see fit. Just not during class, okay?" Lucy gave a wink. "Anyway, today we have something a little bit different. You can see that there's three stations. Now, I know art doesn't always neatly fit into categories, but today we're just going to pretend it does for the sake of simplicity. The three stations represent musical art, visual art, and then written arts and performing arts together. The task I put before you is to either pick a station you're already familiar with, in which case you'll be a teacher, or a station you're unfamiliar with, in which case you'll be a student. Hopefully this'll get people to expand their horizons and pick up some useful new skills!" Lucy hoped that was clear enough. "I'll personally be starting at the musical station, so if anyone wants to learn some basics of violin playing, I'm happy to teach." Lucy gave a bright smile. "Alright, pick a station and give it your best! Kia kaha*!"

*kia kaha - be strong in te reo Māori, a commonly known phrase

Out of Character:

To break it down a bit more, the idea is that your character has the option of going to any station they want.
Picking a station that corresponds to something that character is already skilled at means that that character will teach others their craft.
Picking a station that your character isn't skilled at means they'll be the ones trying something new out, under the guidance of another character who is skilled (provided someone is there to teach - otherwise they can just give it a go on their own).

The stations are as follows:
Station One - Musical instruments
Station Two - Visual arts
Station Three - Written and performing arts

Hopefully this makes sense. If it doesn't, please PM me on this account and I'll try make it clearer.
Feel free to tag Lucy if you want to have your character learn some violin basics.

 

[Freddie Lagowski]

Freddie leaned against the piano, tracing a scuff in the wood with his finger. Did he want to learn another instrument? Not really. You couldn't play Iron Maiden on a piano. Then again, you couldn't really play Iron Maiden on an acoustic guitar either, and that was all they had here. He'd spent the last few weeks trying to speed up his hammer-ons and pull-offs, which was still fun, but he missed the sound of an electric guitar so bad it was almost painful.

Making a split-second decision, he headed over to the guitars. Maybe he could show someone some basic stuff. If not, he'd just stand here and practice for a bit - quietly, so nobody looked at him too much. With all these people around, he was probably going to screw up a bunch.
