Welcome to Stinky's Art Class. We have the best students in the world. Todays lesson is how to draw a strawberry.
Good morning people and welcome to Stinky's Art Class where we have the best students in the world! Okay, today's lesson is how to draw a strawberry.

I thought this would be a good one for today. So let's jump right in. Let's draw us a strawberry. So the first thing you want to do is you want to draw the green stem.
Okay, and then you want to draw the body. It's kind of puffy on this side. And then it kind of goes to more of like a little point. It goes to like a little heart shaped bottom. And they got these little things down here. And then you got to draw the seeds. I think they are. And so that's pretty simple. And maybe a little shading.
Too much. Okay, well let's try. Let's do another strawberry. And just to keep practicing. So we want to draw the little greens. And then this one is going to be more of a shape like that.
And so I think you get the picture. So I heard about this thing and sometimes, you know, I give you pep talks a lot and I'm always trying to, you know, tell you positive things.
Well, I had someone tell me a story about this scientist, and he planted two plants and he would talk to his plants, and he had one plant that he really liked. And so he always spoke very nice words to the plant. He talked to the plant and said nice words to the plant. Said, you know, "I hope you have a great day, plant" and you know, all these things like that. And then the other plant, he said mean words to the plant. He said like, "hey, plant, hope you have a bad day."
You know, like a plant you're not growing good. And then after a while, the plants were, you know, growing and, he noticed, the scientists noticed that the plants that he was speaking unkindly to, those plants didn't grow as well. And they weren't growing big. But the plants that he talked to very nicely to, those plants grew really big and really healthy.
And so it was a really great science experiment. And I thought I would share that with you today. There's something called self-talk, like you're working on something, you say, "oh, I messed up, I'm so stupid" or something like that, right? That can actually harm you. Instead of saying that, say, "oh, I messed up."
You can say, "oh, I messed up." And even though I messed up, I'm still, you know, a good artist. I'm still a good person. I'm going to work harder next time and I'm going to do my best and everything will work out. Do you see the difference? And that's called positive self-talk. And so these strawberries right here, they're beautiful strawberries.
And this is a strawberry patch. And if you just think about, you know, this lesson and how we could have talked to these strawberries and said, "hey, strawberries are beautiful and delicious." Or when you're doing your art, you say, "hey, I'm a great artist. I'm going to do my best." And, you know, speak positive words. Kind of like that scientist did to his plant, you know, and then, test it out, be a scientist.
And even though you may be an artist, you're actually a scientist. You're testing color, you're testing shape, you're testing texture, or you're testing art history and, you're testing all the things. So you make sure you remember this week to use that positive self-talk that you talk positively to everything you do. And, I think that'll help you as an artist.
What do you think about color? I know class was about to be over, and I'm jumping back into the lesson. I don't know, class. What do you think about the darker stems? Does that make it better or worse? Oh, there you go.
I should have said, "hey, no matter how it looks, I'm glad I took a risk and tried new things instead." Is it better or worse? That was a very positive self-talk, wasn't it? You know, there's a good example of kind of what we do without noticing it. I said, hey, I'm going to go ahead and color these stems a darker color so you can see them, and the strawberries will stand out more.
And whether I'm going to like it, I'm going to learn from it to, you know, make my art better next time. Please, all right class, one more zoom in. I think we did good. All right, class, have a great day. Thanks for coming to class, and we'll talk to you later. Class dismissed.
