Calligraphy Sesh with ArtsyFancy

Disclaimer: I was not paid to create this post but I’m explicitly and aggressively showing my support for ArtsyFancy so go figure. Why a calligraphy session? In studying Japanese and in learning Kanji, I began to understand how one small stroke can alter the meaning of a character. I was thinking I could apply the…

Teacher of the Week: Artsyfancy’s Tina

Educators around the world celebrated #InternationalTeachersDay so I decided to honor another teacher this week. That sounded awfully nice of me, therefore untruthful. Tina submitted her responses to the questions when I was about to think she wasn’t interested at all, just in time for the Teachers’ Day celebration. Was that entirely honest? Yes. Was…

Teacher of the Week: Syme, The Infinite

In continuation of our Teachers’ Month celebration, I have yet another willing victim. This week’s awesome teacher is Syme from The Average Gay Guy.

Teacher of the Week

When eight-year old kids these days feel like they always get the short end of the stick… 8-year old student : Actually every semester, there are two big exams, Midterm and Finals. Teacher: Honey, when you get older, you’ll realize that in college, you get three exams in one semester.
