For Midori? A bit of both. The relaxed atmosphere is relaxing, which is probably the point behind it to begin with, but sometimes it feels just a little too relaxed, and the music is somewhat distracting. That she isn't much of an art person doesn't really help matters, but she'd needed to fill some extra time somehow and this class had appeared to be the easiest solution.

Whenever Reki walks by or one of the other students tries to sneak a look at her work, all of the light appears to escape from the canvas, masking Midori's project in a sheet of black to prevent it from being seen until she's actually ready to show what she's got.

Which admittedly isn't actually that much. Again, not much of an art person.

Reki catches a glimpse of Midori's painting from the side. Yet when she walks towards it to take a look, it blackens again, like a laptop with a privacy screen. What the hell.

"What are you doing." Sassy grey haibane.

"It's not ready yet." A simple enough answer. "I don't want anyone seeing it until it's done." Using her photokinesis to prevent having an unwanted audience? You bet.

She would have preferred a seat over by one of the corners of the room to reduce the need to do something like that, but the seat she had now was one of the last ones available as the rest were already taken.

Reki raised an eyebrow, but made no objection. At least she was participating.

"You got it." She could call attention to her and humiliate her, but that wouldn't be what a good Haibane did.

She came back when the class was over.

While the other students filed out of the room, Midori remained in her seat. She didn't have any classes immediately after this one, and she normally used the spare time to pick something up in the cafeteria, but this was the best chance to show what she had done.

So, when Reki returned this time, the canvas was not masked in the same way it had been multiple times before earlier in the class. The image that now sat on it wasn't particularly bad, but it wasn't anything really mind-blowing either. It was a simple image of what looked to be a school's auditorium, which itself was done well enough, though the little figures meant to represent the kids on the stage could probably use a little work. The interesting part of the image, however, was the seemingly-random circles of blue, white, and yellow that were laid out on top of everything else.

Before anything could be said, Midori shrugged and spoke up. "Painting isn't really something I like, but since it's part of the course, I can't really argue against doing it." Considering she chose to take the class.

Just wait for her to figure out how this class ties into one of the possible uses for her power. She might enjoy it a bit more then.
