3 Point of view studies

A) 1st person, Present tense:

"Well, it's just cartoons, isn't it?"

"No," did she even read the things I handed in?
"I mean, these are just concepts - ideas- for the costumes."

"Oh..."

I hate it. I loath and detest it with all my being. The way she just trails off like that. She sounds like a social worker or something.
She rises - She's allowed yo sit on the table, you see. But we're not. Oh no - and I revert my attention to my artistic genius spread on the table before me.

That God-awful, patronising voice again;
"So what's this done in? Pen?"

No, it's not pen, you imbecile. You're an art teacher and you can't distinguish between two hugely different mediums?
"Ehm, no, it's watercolour,"
I indicate to the palette and water pot on the table. You know, the one's I'm using right now.

"Oh..."


B) 3rd person, Past tense (Limited to one person's thoughts though)

It wasn't exactly realism. Figures though. That's a start. She did so like her figure drawing. Who didn't? She smiled as she contemplated how happy her Lower Sixth class would be having another lesson in figure drawing. Oh, perhaps they were even ready to start fleshing out all those wonderful stick figures this time!

Her focus returned to the student at hand. She sat down on the table. Talk to children at their level. This girl was a complete snob. Well, she thought, she could be presumptuous right back.


C) 3rd person, Past tense (Omniscient)

"Well, it's just cartoons, isn't it?"
Bryony rolled her eyes. She dropped her painbrush and turned to her teacher, forcing a smile.
"No, these are concepts - ideas for the costumes."

"Oh," The teacher nodded along, a face of bewilderment. She rose, but continued to watch her student work for some time.
"So what's this done in? Pen?"

Bryony fingered the paintbrush. She dug her thumnail into it's flaking, painted coating. She couldn't hide the bitterness in her response entirely.
"No. It's watercolour."
