Every year my daughter's school has an Art day where the children get to make art in mediums outside the school curriculum. Despite my father's advice to "Never Volunteer" I facilitate a copper sculpture workstand. The kids have to do a drawing and then cut the pieces from copper and then I solder them together using copper to copper rods. usually it's flowers and fish and other nice stuff since it's against the ethos of the school to make weapons. this year I forgot to brief the two art student volunteers with me and I found myself soldering together swords, which we had to then confiscate after one eight year old tried to stab his class mate. My two favourites from the day were this AK47
and this Tank.
When I asked how they knew what tanks and AKs looked like- they knew them from the game "Call of Duty"
I'm expecting to hauled in front of the principal tomorrow to be lectured abiut making weapons
She'll probably give lines to write out.
