Better Together (Taegguk)
09
The bell rang, signaling the start of Taehyung’s afternoon class. As he entered the art room, his students, a mix of eager faces and bubbling excitement, greeted him enthusiastically.
Students: (in unison)Good afternoon, Mr. Kim!
Taehyung smiled warmly at his class, the tension from earlier melting away as he stepped into the environment he loved the most.
Here, in this room filled with the smell of paints and the sound of pencils scratching against paper, he felt at home. Teaching art wasn’t just a job for him, it was his passion, his way of expressing himself, and passing that love onto his students was the most rewarding part of his day.
Kim Taehyung
Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you’re all ready to create some amazing art today.
The students eagerly nodded, their eyes shining with anticipation. Taehyung walked over to the large canvas he’d set up at the front of the room and began explaining the day’s lesson, which focused on color theory and how different shades could evoke various emotions.
Kim Taehyung
Alright, today we’re going to talk about how colors can express feelings. For example, what kind of emotions do you think red might convey?
A few hands shot up in the air. Taehyung pointed to one of his students, a girl with pigtails and paint stains on her uniform.
Student 1:Red feels like... anger! Like when I’m mad, my face gets all red.
Kim Taehyung
Exactly. Red is often associated with anger, but it can also represent passion or love. It’s a very powerful color. What about blue?
This time, a shy boy in the back raised his hand.
Student 2:Blue is like... being sad. But it’s also calm, like the ocean.
Taehyung’s eyes lit up with pride.
Kim Taehyung
Perfect! Blue can make us feel both calm and sad. It’s all about how we use it.
Kim Taehyung
Now, I want you all to think about a feeling or memory that’s important to you and express it using colors. Don’t worry about getting it ‘right,’ just focus on how the colors make you feel.
The students eagerly got to work, diving into their palettes of paint and carefully selecting colors that represented their emotions.
Taehyung moved around the room, offering gentle guidance and encouragement.
Kim Taehyung
Having some trouble, Jisoo?
Jisoo: I can’t get the colors to blend smoothly. It just looks... messy.
Kim Taehyung
Art doesn’t always have to be smooth. Sometimes, the beauty is in the chaos. But if you want a smoother blend, try adding a little more water to your brush. Watch.
He gently took the brush, dipped it in water, and showed her how to blend the colors more seamlessly. Jisoo’s eyes widened in amazement as the colors merged perfectly.
Jisoo:Wow, Mr. Kim, you’re like a magician!
Taehyung laughed softly, returning the brush to her.
The rest of the class continued, with Taehyung moving from student to student, offering tips and admiring their work.
By the end of the class, the students were reluctant to leave, crowding around him to show their finished pieces.
Student 3:Mr. Kim, look at mine! I used yellow for my memory of visiting my grandma. She always wore a Yellow sweater.
Kim Taehyung
That’s beautiful.
As the bell rang and the students began to pack up, Taehyung felt a sense of contentment wash over him.
With a smile, he watched his students file out of the room, already looking forward to the next class where they would continue to create, learn, and explore the world of art together.
