My first appointment for the day, was to go and see Jaye Harewood at Central London Works, Vauxhall. Streatham Job Centre sent me there to go find work. I was late, as usual...by around 15 minutes. Jaye, made a phone call; and, then, offered me a job interview on 23rd August 2019 in Croydon. The work is to do with 'recycling'. Frankly, 'recycling' in not a career path that I'm actually interesting in pursuing...I would prefer doing arts/or, computing/preferably, programming. However, because I have no previous experience in those areas; therefore, I feel forced into accepting any sort of work they can offer me, instead; or, at least, I'm willing to go there for a try out; to see if I do actually find the work acceptable or not?
12:30 PM TATE BRITAIN GALLERY, PILMLICO
I went to visit Tate Britain...which is just across the bridge from Central London Works building.
I visited seeing 2 exhibitions...
1> Frank Bowling (mostly, abstract)
2> Van Gogh (his works/and, those related to other artists he admired)
I'd already gone and seen both of these exhibitions before; but, I thought it might well be worth another visit...before both of these exhibitions end.
In the Van Gogh exhibtion...I tried doing 2 copies of his works: woman sitting in a chair/and, man in a chair. My copies were not really that good...; but, at least, I had a 'try'...which, for me, has got to be far better than having done nothing; normally, I just look and leave...; at least, this time i can honestly say I didn't just look...I also practised.
2:30 PM WENT TO ACKERMAN MEDICAL HEALTH CENTRE, VAUXHALL/LIL SULLIVAN ART CLASS
All the time when I was inside of Tate Gallery, I recalled there was an 'art class' I was due to attend later on in the evening: 2PM - 5 PM. Again, I arrived there 'late', as usual.
It was a bit of a surprise to me...that Lil Sullivan had brought along 2 of her young relatives; a boy aged 8/and, a girl aged 11.
A black girl was there, too...Jenny is her name. She used to go...before I started attending.
And, there was the teacher herself, Lil Sullivan.
So, that made 5 people attended this art class in all...including myself.
I played with the kids for a bit. Praising their artworks. And, also, showed them some Origami (hat/boat)...; too, near the end of the lesson, I showed them how to do a front roll over on the hard concrete ground; (needless to say, they did not try and imitate). I just told them I'm 56 years old...; so, when you get older you will be able to do this, too; so long as you remember to keep fit.
I promised Jenny that I would bring her an A3 sketchpad to draw in, next week, Thursday; and, I also promised Lil Sullivan that I will return back to Rosebery's auction house; and, collect some FREE auction catalogues(as she uses these to cut out and build collages).
8 PM PHONED MY COUSIN, ANNE
My mum asked me to phone to confirm that my cousin, Anne, had received a package she sent. Anne confirmed, yes, she did in fact receive it. We also talked about her brother who is ill in hospital...had suffered a 'mild stroke' recently; but, was recovering; and, also, had lost weight she said; he needed to lose weight so they could attach a prosthetic leg. We talked about a few other things...just chit chat, really...nothing too important; and, basically, the phone call ended there.
11 PM CONCLUSION
The time is now 11:09 PM; and, I haven't bothered going out, again, during this same day...not even to go and buy some 'fish & chips'/or, Iceland ice cream cones. The problem is, I went and lost my debit card...the other day...and, will need to wait until when a 'new' one comes through the post...before I can spend/withdraw any cash.
