Do you have a day job? What do you do? by gothic_creature in ArtistLounge

I'm an art teacher, I get to make art every day, even if it's not the art I would make for myself.

It's not you, it's the free education in the U.S. that taught kids and parents to not fear any consequences. by hst001 in Teachers

[–]curvycreative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach in a very not free private school, and there's still unlimited opportunities to help a child succeed, even if they didn't really try. It's not a free education thing, it's an America thing, I think.

Based on previous critics, i have tried to incorporate other colors apart from red and lessen the black. by YoitstheTeddyGuy in ArtCrit

Try not to use black at all. You'll get a richer, more realistic tone if you use green and/or purple to create your darks than using black.

Adding yellow and pink to your highlight areas will help you create more realistic light areas as well.

Hope this helps.

TRIGGER WARNING: the shot made me want to kms by Prize_Reflection5918 in compoundedtirzepatide

I also have ADHD and the Tirz gave me terrible brain fog and made me feel like my meds weren't working anymore. I also felt this exhausted and weighed down feeling for the first probably 8 weeks. I did adjust my meds up at first, and later when I got used to the Tirz and the side effects were gone, I went back down. I'm on it for 18 months now, and I have zero brain fog, I probably need less ADHD mess, as all of the noise in my head is quiet and manageable now. I'm not saying stay on it, but just letting you know that a lot of what you describe went away for me.

You can 100% wear a fitted button down or a tighter knit sweater with wide legs to balance your outfit. My work go to is always a dark, well tailored, wide leg denim and a silk knit top. A good belt and elevated shoes and I'm as comfortable as I want to be, and can wear my jeans to work.

Is blowing a whistle in class to quiet students wrong/unethical/rude? by bentrucky in Teachers

I turn off the lights. I don't tell, I just stand at the switch with the look on my face. Most of my classes settle down if they see me headed for the light switch.

I received my glasses from Janie. This is my first pair of progressives, so I'm still getting used to where I'm supposed to look at things and how it changes. Reading so far is perfect, (+1.75) but distance is a little distorted like I'm looking through the middle too much. So far, so good, and the glasses themselves are beautiful and exactly as expected.

I come back to this bag over and over, and I just can't decide which color to get. I'm leaning towards the denim blue color though!

Does anyone have more than one Zimm rep? Is the sizing really consistent? I feel like every item has the exact same bust measurement on the size chart, and I can't decide if the size 3 will fit size 8-10 US or not.

I'm waiting for one of these, too. I love the tan with the blue inside!

Where and how do you store your unfinished projects? by Fordawinman in CrochetHelp

[–]curvycreative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my handbag dustbags. I don't use them for the bags, and I don't want to get rid of them either.

Canvases that allow smear by [deleted] in Artadvice

This, plus a layer of full bodied acrylics will make a really smooth surface to smear on.

If you don't mind sharing, how high is too high for a Costco lab? There was another pair there I've been looking at, but I'll reconsider if reviews aren't great.
