3rd workshop at st christophers

During the 3rd session we established what sort of thing we wanted to achieve for the final celebration exhibition event. He spoke about the fact that nature should be a big part within it, as he has dedicated his entire life to teaching, preserving and appreciating all the joys the outside world can offer and be appreciated. We both decided on a very organic look for the final piece, debated mediums for a while, and finally came up with paper, as it is directly associated with trees and the cycle of life. We spoke about history a little bit too, he told me about the different human species as he’d watched a documentary on bbc one about the battle for the dominant race on the earth. I found it fascinating. After we’d finished talking about that, he taught me about the weather, hurricanes and tornadoes, and how they thrive I different areas. It became apparent at this point that regardless of his brain tumor, he was still highly capable of teaching; even though his pace is slow (as he finds it hard to articulate sometimes) he is still a very able person. This restored my faith in him, and allowed me to appreciate him a lot more.
