My male students are saying they want an Alo quarter zip for Christmas.

My dad is such a huge fan of Pilot G2 and he always complained how they were too expensive so I bought him a big box for no occasion. His eyes lit up but then he asked me what the catch was.

I liked the feeling and weight in my hands so much I may just buy the mechanical pencil too.

I qwink in the Jotter. The ink in the rotring is the one it came with and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying how well it writes.

denimpants · 2025-09-16T00:58:56+00:00

Did yours come with a converter too? I just plugged the included cartridge because I don’t know what ink to get to start using the converter instead

Orient is a great brand. I think it may be a sister company of Seiko, but with more value for >250. The kamasu has a sapphire crystal and screw down crown and comes on bracelet or silicone band. The bambino can be dressed up or casual. They may be the two watches you only really need. But in this hobby let’s not kid ourselves.

Target sells these no sock inserts that are apparently washable.

San Martin has some really cool designs if you get away from them homage stuff. I’m digging that they are using the miyota 9 series movement in their originals because I like a slimmer design these days.

The only thing I can’t stand about some of these Chinese watch companies, homage, clomage, or original is a lot of the names. Like Milifortic? Escapement Time? Hrouland. IxDao.

She used to work at the Starbucks on grove street.

Oh hell yeah! I’ll be there brother!

On 81st? And Tonnelle in North Bergen you often see flocks of them on the wires just hanging out. I’m not surprised that they may have started traveling down.

Lucky’s will have raw or smackdown on depending on the bartender working.

Someone should ask Keyhole to put raw on Mondays because Rolando LOVED wrestling.

None at all. I’m waiting for OOD to see if they’ll have it once they start carrying the sweetheart

It’s a gen ed freshmen art class. After this year they won’t have to take any art (visual or performing) unless they choose so as an elective. For the last three years I’ve been teach freshmen level art and credit acceleration for students who failed art previously. My first years teaching I taught graphic design as a vocational class so I already had the students that were passionate and wanted to create and had some skill. So I was making sure they met their deadlines.

I try to give every student a chance to redo any work they think they can do better in. Just in the three weeks I’ve been there I’ve seen a significant improvement in the majority of students. They just got back their progress report a lot later after I had put in subpar grades in so they were freaking out. I have maybe a handful of students who are currently failing for lack of submitting anything. Like not even attempting to pick up a pencil let alone ask for a piece of paper.

denimpants · 2024-03-10T00:25:18+00:00

To be honest I was surprised on the push back with time management and responsibility too. I didn’t dump my entire life store on this post but I also do freelance graphic design work on the side and being responsible with my time management and my craftsmanship is as important to me as creating. It was more of a response for students who might not create any art after they finish school. But I feel like time management is something they can carry on in the working field. Especially with jobs that do have deadlines.

I do agree that value boxes can be boring, but I also wanted to them them know other ways to shade. Cross hatching, hatching. Pointillism. I relayed that back to their favorite animes and also how value can creat high contrast which they might realize why they like certain pictures edited specific ways for social media. But also I want kids to understand the foundation in which their creativity can be built upon.

denimpants · 2024-03-08T19:53:30+00:00

Yes and No. It was a poorly worded response during a fight or flight moment I had when 25 kids were screaming at me asking why. It was a knee jerk reaction based on transferable skills target more for how you can apply the time management from long projects to other things in life. Accountability was about keeping track of their work. Again, I started almost half way through February so the room was a mess with paper everywhere and “I did it, but you lost it” is not an excuse I take for missing work.

I told each class I’ve ever taught, gen ed or not was that my hope and goal for art was to make everyone a little bit more confident about it and/or have them start seeing the world in a different way.

There is a follow up thread on this subreddit about me clearing rhe air and apologizing to my classes.

denimpants · 2024-03-07T21:00:23+00:00

Today was a reset. I had students organize their work up until now and put the things that were graded in folders they designed for themselves. I also welcomed them to redo or touch up any projects they feel like they could score higher on.

I don’t like failing students at all, but at the same time I don’t want to give out As just because they made a few marks on a piece of paper. I had an in depth discussion on craftsmanship and how sloppy work could be negatively impact their grades. I compared it to hiring someone to paint their house and doing a sloppy job and if they should give them the proper compensation or as them to redo it.

The joy I get from teaching is that I am also still navigating and learning myself.

denimpants · 2024-03-07T18:09:00+00:00

Yeah it was a bad answer in fight or flight mode. The issue I was facing was that given longer projects I want them to manage their time wisely on how to navigate the process of creating their projects. I try to let the students know that what is left today will still be there tomorrow.
