For this drawing I wanted to study different types of flowers that can be there. Yet, I wanted some centre to my work, which I later decide would be a wolf’s skull in this kind of tattoo style I am also interested with and explored some time ago for my CAS. Here I came back to the typical pencil, unlike the colourful ones I used in the drawings of women last time.
This time the title of the workshop was „When did people invent football?”. As the title might suggest, the workshop was a bit more mobile than usually, because the kids actually got to do some physical activity. I think this is really a great idea to connect sport with education like this, because kids not only got the chance to kick the ball around a bit, but also could sit down for a moment and learn something about the sport itself.
Still, as I cannot attend basketball trainings I workout at home. But since my last post, I decided to broaden my workouts with some dumbbell activity. This also means that I have slightly elongated my workout time by a couple of minutes.
Recently I have started to examine more the technique of drawing various female hairstyles. I looked up some photos on the internet and tried to recreate what I saw, and also maybe incorporate some fantastical, imaginative element that can be visible in some of the drawings. I was also experimenting with different colours of a pencil, not only the classic grey graphite.
This time the workshops I assisted with had the topic „How to change the world beginning with our garden?”. Unfortunately due to the pandemic we did not have great attendance during these classes, but the kids were still able to gain some valuable experience and have fun as they designed their own gardens and ways in which they can be more efficient or eco.
Because unfortunately the pandemic once again makes it impossible for me to attend my regular trainings or the League games, I am forced to workout at home. That means that I do some exercises that do not involve some advanced equipment or do not need much space. My typical workout would take up about 20 minutes and consist of some typical exercises like: crouches, press-ups, crunches and planks.
For this creativity assignment I again did a string bracelet. Similarly to the last one, this was also made as a gift for a friend. Yet, this time I chose a slightly different colour set and went more with different shades of blue and white. I first learned to do this about a year ago and am hopefully getting better at it.
The topic of this time’s workshops was „How to take care of our emotions?” and took place at Golden Floor Plaza. At the beginning the organisation was hard to manage as there were many classes at the same floor in adjacent rooms, and we had to transport the kids to the necessary floor via lifts, but eventually everything worked out good. I think that workshops about emotions are particularly important, as they help young kids to better understand and manage their own emotions in the future.
I was not able to make it to the last game against Mercury, because I was sick. Even though we also lost that one by walkover, since most of the team was absent, we still made it to the final. Our opponent was again Aces, so the match was really hard to from the beginning. Apart from that, there were only six of us, so we did not have much rotation and time to rest. I have played 55 minutes practically non-stop. Our team, similarly to the previous game, really lacked in players and therefore in strength, and Aces managed to win again, claiming the championship. We lost this time, but this is not only about winning and Aces really did deserve this award for their performance on court. But perhaps the next season will be better for us, especially if new people will join the team and fill the deficit in players.
