<div style="text-align: justify; margin: auto; width: 90%">Throughout the month of [name], there has been a push for people to come and indulge in the arts, with different activities set out at different times, by different people! <a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/876204076713508917/882332785040314419/poster.png">Posters</a> have been around the carriages to promote what's been called the Art Extravaganza, encouraging people to <a href="https://voidtreckerooc.dreamwidth.org/70178.html?thread=10270754#cmt10270754">sign-up</a> and get down to business!

And what is there to do? It's up for the passengers to decide, either by being a teacher and showing the craft. Or there's Free Time, where you can practice with what there is with others interested.

So, again: what is there to do?

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/KqdYv0M.png" style="float: right; padding: 10px;" alt="" />[ SKETCHING, PAINTING, COLOURING! ] The basics of the basics when one thinks of art: working with paper and pencil. Whether you're a beginner or have some skills, you're invited to come by to the double quiet room as a get-together, grab one of the available sketchbooks, and to get cracking.

<ul>☛ Small studies have been set up for drawing: cloths over cups, a bowl of fruits; a book on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYW5QLFDDK4">earth animals</a> has been left to copy from. There's also a flashlight you can set up for some light study. ...just, try to get it to sit at the angle you want...!

☛ Or why not reach for the box of chalks, or even the bottles of paints? With these, you can mess with the available black paper; using the colours of the paints boldly, or testing how far you can take a white piece of chalk and the black of the paper.

☛ But why stay in one room for inspiration? You have the entire train to turn to: the greenhouse, with its multiple plants; the standard coach, for some sneaky people-drawing; or even the library, where there exists a couple of photobooks? </ul><center>🎨 </center>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/wrAvaES.png" style="float: left; padding: 10px;" alt="" /> [ BEADY, SHAPES, AND CLAY! ] But maybe you want to work with your hands in a different manner. There's beadcraft, as well as further exploration with paper and cardboard, for a more careful type of art to keep your hands busy. There's a <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14EIox6ho7epyZjBl7XcfXMXSIyufF8U51dQrr3SkRUc/edit#gid=1120207289">couple of</a> <a href="https://voidtreckermods.dreamwidth.org/10613.html?thread=2146421#cmt2146421">books</a> to help you craft all sorts.

<ul>☛ For origami, why not learn to make <a href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54005a0ce4b0bbe0fce8fac5/1585688592684-Y1B0NLBOEH9G6ZJTVFEF/how+to+make+easy+origami+butterfly.png">butterflies</a>, <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d7/7b/88/d77b885329d8a442103190660351a2ed.jpg">foxes</a>, or even try at some <a href="https://voidtreckermods.dreamwidth.org/10613.html?thread=2146421#cmt2146421">origami dinosaurs</a>?

☛ Some of those onboard may have better ideas of what to do with some simple beads and string, but there's always the easiest: <a href="https://sarahmaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/how-to-stretchy-bracelets-4-768x1024.jpg">colourful bracelets</a>. Simple and with a few colours to select from, they can make a good gift for yourself, or maybe for a friend. Or maybe you can make them more creative by dabbing on some paint?

☛ But how about getting some mess involved. There's two pottery wheels and a lot of clay, and Rapunzel can be handwaved to be around to help teach how to use them. Or maybe your character already knows how to? The wheels with their seats are brought out to the sports gymnasium at a specific time, and anyone can come and use them, try them out.</ul><center>🎨 </center>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/lxN6dKt.png" style="float: right; padding: 10px;" alt="" /> [ MORE! MORE! ] There's plenty more to choose from, with people offering to teach their own fun crafts, and new ways to past the time. Take a gander at learning how to knit, or even how to spin wool generously donated by Katsuya's wooloo. Why not take around some of the cameras, and take pictures - then learn how to upload them onto the computer in the standard coach to print them out?

There's also a few supplies to make <A href="https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/basic-candle-making-instructions-516753">small candles</a>, with wicks, wax, a few colours for mixing and fragrances. Come to the kitchen for that, or even for Romeo's baking and coffee arts!

Note: edible glitter is included.

Come help teach or get stuck in - this is surely the half of the month meant for relaxing.</cut>
