[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crystal's saying that we should be able to do them on canvas. And I just want to remind you guys, you can do these later on canvas. You can do them at any time when you're ready for it. If today is not the day. Maybe in the future. Maybe in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Amy's like, feed the birds, tuppence a bag, tuppence a bag, tuppence a bag. Al was saying this one was tricky for me. This one was tricky, and while I did provide traceables for everything, I didn't demo the traceables, I demoed freehanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we learned a little bit about how do we rough in placement? What tools do we use to, uh, guesstimate object placement in a canvas? And what are the things to avoid? So these were things that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we got to really cover and I really love seeing your birds. Interestingly enough, here's a thing that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as a teacher you think versus what ended up being reality, I thought this was the bird that was gonna get everybody trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was this little dude that I thought everybody was gonna like sail through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, not that your birds weren't all perfectly cute. They were, but there's a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a thing that happens for students that I've seen that they perceive that they have not done it right. I don't know. There's a perception, and there's a common consciousness of it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there was a perception, collectively, of a little fat bird sitting on a branch, which I felt you guys all hit. But many of you were like, I love this upper bird, but I'm not sure my lower bird had it. And I think it was, I think we should just accept his fluffy fat little belly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you guys did really great. But that was interesting, cause I thought that's where I was gonna hear it. And I heard it there, and I was like, huh. So now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time you guys, see it's great when you guys say your truth, because I go in group, I read everything, that's why I'm liking it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I like it twice cause I'm in my Facebook profile and then I'm in personal profile. So that's still me just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Switching profiles and getting confused about where I am. Uhm, but it's really because I'm like, how did I do? And so when you guys say this was hard, then I make notes and I'm like, I start brainstorming and how do I make it easier next time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, how do I make it easier for you? Ready? Move on to the next one. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. The mason jar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one of the first things, and what I wanted to just get out of the way is just draw flowers and leaves, right, cause that just is aggravating to all new painters everywhere, and see through stuff. See through stuff always, one of the first things that just breaks a new artist's brain is how do I paint something that I see through, is transparent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so this was the first one we're introduced to you that we don't paint what we can't see, we paint what we can, which is we paint the reflections. Can't paint what we don't see, the transparent part that we don't see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We paint this butterfly which gives placement to the thing. We paint a reflection coming out from under the glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paint the way the flowers go through here. So it's actually some very complicated. I do this every acrylic April. I hit my students with very complicated concepts in a simple way like week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, sometimes this, understanding this day one gets you to that realistic wine pourer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Painting thirty, painting fifty, whenever you get there. But you have to get this down to get there. To paint a wave, to paint a waterfall, to paint water drops, to paint, you know, any of that stuff that we all want to paint because it's so engaging as artists, reflections, and water. We have to understand what it is we're actually painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the wave crests and the light's coming through and the foam is coming up, what are we painting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it opens up and becomes transparent, it flings back from her hair. What are we painting? Right? That concept started here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so how is glass painted? That's the, that's what that video introduced. Transparency. Yea, I'm ready. Go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Lindsay here, but see, that's the great class for Lindsay right there. How is glass painted? So this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I did a lighter moon on that. That was the original design and then I changed that design. It's okay, we'll go to the desk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So on this one we were talking about gesture of line. You guys were actually learning gesture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And reflection. And the way, uhm, directionality of line creates placement in space on the canvas. So, we have this circle, right, which is the moon, and it's very bright, so the value is helping us understand that this is a glowing moon at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the radiating curvature of the brush strokes going out creates a sense of radiating moonlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flat horizontal brush stroke kind of creates a sense of water. The fact that the horizon line is level gives us a sense this is a body of water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then these horizontal brush strokes coming down capturing the tops of what would be waves glittering is light reflected on water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The movement of the brush strokes here on these long lines gives us the sense that these reeds are blowing in the wind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And right down to the curvature of the dragonflies is gesture. Gesture's everything in art. It's what makes your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People look interesting, it's what makes your tree look interesting, it's the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flow of the line that gives movement to the painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty complicated concept, but we introduced that right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so when you're going there, that's what you're getting. You know, is that sense of, did you see why I gave you guys a passing certificate? Cause y'all earned it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause this was not some small stuff. It's your 10 first paintings where I very sneakily snuck in a bunch of really important art concepts. So one and two who paintings stop being so like, what do I mean? What are we doing? Cause you're like, oh yeah, I got to curve this line to make it look bendy bendy. All right. Next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this one, uhm, we used some concepts, and it's not completely and totally unseen out there. You'll see stuff coming back from like the 1900s that kind of covered this concept, which is uhm, and even before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is where we use, um, value and placement. And I don't remember who it was who totally caught this, which is this is also how we do distant mountains, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we're using value, the hue of the color, how light or dark it is to create a sense of atmospheric depth, like we're actually painting atmospheric perspective here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the way that we choose to, uh, light that we talk about its closeness to the light source. And we also did that on the balloon. So if we go down to the thing, we'll talk about this a little bit more. So in landscape painting,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are two concepts of lighting, and it's very complicated stuff, but I actually taught both of them to you, which is the radial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, and the horizontal kind of going up the vertical. So in sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, depending on the light source and your viewpoint as the viewer and atmospheric perspective, the sky tends to be generally, not always, but generally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darker at the top and lighter at the bottom, which we did this gradation. Very important skill in all painting. You just gotta get it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also, if the, if your light source is viewable at all, and, and, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We kinda covered it in several lessons before this, but now we get into where they both come together. There's a radial light that comes out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And things that are within the space of this radio light in your landscape will be warmer in their colors. Something that you know now because you learned how to read the color wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Warmer in their colors and then as they get further away from light source get cooler. This is the core of landscape painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Landscape painting, whether you're painting along with, you know, with me or anybody else or out in the mountains just plain air painting. These are the things that you're observing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so by doing this thing where there's a light bank of clouds, a darker bank of clouds, and the darkest bank of clouds, right, and this is like something the poster paint, the travel poster painters really kind of pioneered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We say these things are back and coming forward, right? So we learn that value and color saturation and depth place an object more distant or closer to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, we talked about here's our light source, so therefore we learned where a cloud would be lit. We didn't think about the cloud as a white fluffy thing in the sky. We thought about the cloud as a amorphous form, which we


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How to practice some concepts of cloud shapes so we can break that, that, that initial kind of hurdle to clouds and then we lift them in the correct space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we did the solar flare here, but it was to show you guys how to light something off of your light source. So you guys learned some pretty complicated lighting. I didn't know if you knew that you learned that, but you did know you learned it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then crystals like the balloons and the clouds were difficult. They're difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Art is like anything else. There's things that kind of are easy and then there's our trig, but here's the difference between art and all other things. Art is always fun. If you let it be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just relax with yourself and know that you will get there, if not this painting, some future painting, it will be fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only time you will suck your joy is if you compare yourself to somebody else and measure yourself as less. I can fall into that. Everyone can fall into that trap. Uhm, that will definitely take the joy right out of your studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or if you become hypercritical of yourself, creating some arbitrary standard that you set forward and then you berate yourself for not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Achieving that arbitrary standard at some arbitrary time that you expected yourself to achieve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I just don't know how you guys even pull those timeframes and goals out of the air. Like I know I didn't set them for you cause I would never do that to you. Cause that's just a trap for misery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't try not to set misery traps for my students, but you guys are really brilliant at saying...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm supposed to know this, this was supposed to be easy for me, and I'm supposed to get it by now. That's not what you have to do, you just have to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If not this painting, some future painting, it's gonna click for me. Some class, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's enjoyable learning. As it goes. If you can relax with yourself and get out of that rigid thinking and get really flexible, someday in your car you're gonna be sitting and looking at a sunset and go, I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horizontal, the horizontal gradient and the radial lighting. I get it! There'll be some moment. Some fishing trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some TV show that you're watching that does a Vista, there'll be some aha moment. I don't know when it's going to happen for you. I just know it can and will happen for you as long as you don't give up on yourself. That's the thing I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially doing the daily painting. I've learned that with daily painters, like, you can get there. If you don't give up on yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can keep it fun, you can get anywhere in your art. Shall we do the peacock feather?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this was about dealing with the layering of paint, right, which did immediately show you guys that some of your yellows were not making it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for many of you, if you do this painting and your yellow is just so completely transparent, you may want to upgrade your yellow. That would be one of the things that I did say. I saw several people that I felt like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might be a color they want to find in a different paint line because it was performing way under.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have the skills. So we did some of that layering here, but this was about directionality and line and working on the curve and flow of strokes, which is really hard for beginners and really essential. How do we create shape and curve with a stroke? You guys see how we're doing that there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the hardest painting. This I thought was gonna be the easiest for y'all, ended up being the hardest. That is not, I mean, a lot of people were like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a lot of line control and it was a lot. This painting was kind of like the test of your paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It tested your paint. Is your paint up to snuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, a little bit, and if your paint was really, really, really making you miserable, I'm not saying don't use it up, I'm not saying any of that, but that's something to think about, like, maybe as you can, changing brands are going through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes a brand will be great in five colors and just be terrible at one color, like way back in the day, Liquitex, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Professional just really had a terrible cadmium yellow hue. It was just super bad. I'm not even sure it was hands of yellow. It was not my favorite, is what I'll say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goldman and a bunch of companies have had a really good cadmium hue for years, so it's like a doable thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was like, I don't know what was up. They fixed it. Now it's cadmium free and it's completely fixed and it's great now. At the time though, hot mess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you had, if you had all the Liquitex paints, you'd be having great experience until you got to the hue, and then you'd be like, what is this? It is the dullest color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now with cadmium free you won't have any problems with it at all, but this just like, in paint companies that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tamara, all of my colors were very transparent, a minimum of two layers to match. So I would say, Tamara, two layers, if you can get it to match within two layers, you're okay. Uhm, that's, student paints are, you know, it's not uncommon. Even with the, I use the abstract Sennelier paint, which is a really good economy paint. Right, which is this brand right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They load it pretty well, but I still have to do two colors sometimes. Right? It's not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I saw people, it wasn't gonna matter how many layers, they were gonna have to paint it white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And paint, they were having to. There was no layering that would ever get them there. And that was, that was a failing in the color. Not them. In any way. Not a failing in them at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, are we ready to go on to the next thing we learn?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just can't, which is to find directionality and how it creates form and landscape is what we learned here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you took some of those, everything that we learned before and we used very simplistic values, the directionality of line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we, and uhm, the kind of textural nature of brushes and created raw, three very different things, which is super important in landscape, which is your leafy things, your bushy things, your falling water. And you'll notice how the vertical lines made the water fall and the horizontal and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shorelines made the water flow and how the little splashy lines made the water splash. Is really what the whole thing was about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how we used value and sharp edges to create forms like rocks. So this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a lot of your landscape misery. If you can get this core down, you can make your landscapes a much happier experience. Just understanding your waterfall cannot go to the core.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the side, it has to, it's gonna fall down. It can be changed direction on rocks, and we talk about that in later classes, but understanding the direction of line and how it tells you where objects are, cause it's all


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lindsay says is thick body paint like big body paint or huge body paint?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna be really honest, uhm, Lindsay, I have not heard paint refer to as big body or huge body. So you may be referring to a specialty product and I would refer back to their, uhm, material info.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the reason I say this is that there are new paints out now that are highly textural, highly bodied paints that are beyond a heavy bodied paint. And they may be in an effort to make sure that they seem different in the brand market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may be calling themselves something different. And so it might be very, very different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, gafferty paint is not heavy bodied paint. It's a whole nother level of paint. Right? It's a whole nother level of stiff bodied paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, they might be calling themselves something like that, and I'm not currently aware of that. Alright, trees. Oh, goodness gracious. We did some things here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this one I had to, I had to throw in some trees, right? And I got to do a rainbow. I do a lot of rainbow trees. If you've painted with me over the last seven years, you've seen a lot of rainbow trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like this because, now this is an interesting thing that you probably didn't know that this taught you. We did work on creating the idea that water is a mirror and how reflection happens in water, right? Water is a mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we also worked on this skill here of going through a rainbow teaches you to rinse out and clean your brush and get to the next color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever you paint a rainbow, you have to really, you either have to have seven brushes or you have to clean the brush you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also learned the concept of how to create a tree shape using our fan brush. We learned some fan brush skills here, which are really good. And we also learned the concepts of how the trees are shaped, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pointy bits at the top and the directionality of branches. We looked at how to create reflections in water. Right? I got asked a lot of great questions like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long should the reflection be? Which depends on the position of the light and the position of the viewer, right? Where you're standing, where the light is. Can change those reflections. Just like it changes shadows. Uhm, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, in this it's a little bit decorative in that way and we just made an arbitrary decision of light placement cause it's, you know, there's a little center light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the idea that these trees will reflect in the water and the water is a mirror to what is happening around it is taught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we also added light reflections again, practicing that skill again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We worked on our gesture in this, and then we did texture to create, we did perspective, believe it or not you did some one point perspective here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to give you the idea that optics are wider and they become narrow as they approach the horizon line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things that your brain starts to put together in its little art box of, oh, stuff I know now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deleted that, I don't think that was intentional. Sorry, Crystal. Uh, sometimes like when we're modding we have little moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have goofies. We're trying to say like or reply or whatever and we get it. But that was, that was, you did not do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, sometimes the bridge wasn't centered. Sometimes you might have had trouble kind of orienting the bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and if you change the placement of the bridge, by the way, you would change the perspective. The reason I do this is one point perspective is the first concept in perspective in painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For linear perspective, that's where lines are objects that are man made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You learn diminishing, uh, lines and how they converge and all those kinds of things. So it was very, very important. Alright. Are we ready for the next one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I see what it is. Uh, that's okay. Crystal can have cap locks on. It's alright. It's not throwing me. It happens. I get my cap lock. Once I had a phone that wouldn't hang up. That really was very bad for me once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a great exit conversation I needed to get out of. Sometimes our tech fails us. Don't worry. It's all good. It's no problem. Alright. So, this one. We did some interesting things here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zen stones. Zen stones. White is good. Zen stones. Uhm, so the concept of this again, we did some neutralized blues, right? So we created some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blue on blue on green kind of space. How do we create value between very similar or harmonious colors?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did some gestural work on the lines. We did object placement. How objects are placed in the canvas tells us where they exist. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did some cool, uh, form and gesture and shape reflections through here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also created, how do we layer something to build up an object like a flower? And we did again another version of reflection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you can see that here, like we talked about, like, we know this flower is in front of these rocks because these petals go over that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We worked over like how do we correct for the transparency of something light that has to go over something dark. Couldn't have been more contrasted than this. So we reinforced those skills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that the colors could blend and meld on moving water is an important thing to understand sometimes when there's a little ripple or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flow to the water, it's not a mirror but there is reflection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we did some good lighting on our rocks to create that sense of how, how do we create that sense of these being rounded, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they're clearly so flat, you know, they're just flat little black rocks. How do we do that? So we did some value rounding and we really kind of came to that. I'm gonna, ehm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was a lot of fun. And then very importantly, how do we do this lotus flower? How do we do this flower? So we do these back petals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we draw them and we layered them in and layered them in and then did the front and that's how we created something that was a bowl that was three dimensional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this concept of what petals we paint in what order to create form in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just never gonna get out or get that rose out or any of those lotuses out or any of those peonies out unless we get that sense of what petals are painted at what point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the painting, how do we layer objects to create their space? Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Painting the furthest thing away and then coming forward to that which is closest to us to create detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. Okay, let's go. I'm gonna switch this over and then we're gonna close it with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A fun one. Cause you gotta close the course. I always try to close with something fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that's enjoyable. I close acrylic April with fun stuff. I tend to close our big programs with something fun. So, we got a corgi puppy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for my oldest kid, and, uh, she- her name is Shortcake, and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is the red face tricolor, but brown was gonna be a lot for you guys, so we did the blondie corgi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this was just kind of a fun one cause we pulled some of those things together and we got to talk a little bit about fur and line directionality and all of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But really we just pulled, if you want to go to the table, we just pulled, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just pulled what we had together, right? We did some reflections, we did object placement layering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did line, we draw, we placed a very complex shape, right? We, I showed you guys how we put in a complex shape, and we did brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With primary colors, but I didn't do it to you all. I really thought about, am I gonna do brown to you guys the whole time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I realized brown is gonna be just such a misery for so many people, we just did this bit of brown. I have a whole video on how to mix brown. Without brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is all we did to you because brown can be one of those colors that to create a chromatic brown using primaries can be a whole journey. Alright, so did you guys know that you did that much?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, will there be a course for the two hoot? There might be, Cheryl. I actually was talking with John about that. I definitely will keep revisiting the one hoot course, making better and better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, pretty consistently, but I think I may also add two hoot, and I may include a watercolor version of this over at the watercolor channel. So I know that that's something I'm gonna expand into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Glenis says, now that we are one hoop painters, what do you suggest we do to become two hoop painters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who did next year? Ooh, paintings. Paintings. So one hoot is just trying to get that core set of concepts down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, those are projects that I generally keep to about an hour. The colors are not super complex and the techniques are not overly layered or complex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and to really grow your skills into that two-hoot range, you wanna do a bunch of one-hoot paintings. I would do twenty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my experience, there are breakthroughs. There's a breakthrough at about painting 10, a breakthrough at about painting 20, a breakthrough at about painting 50, and a breakthrough at about painting 100. This is generalized. Just having watched people do paintings and see when they had their like, aha moments and go, oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're about painting, you know, maybe it's painting 12 or 8, but it's in that range, right? That's when about it happens. So the thing for you to do in, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I talk about it a little bit in the certificate pages. Do more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do more. Now it's time to go on. So coming out of this course, what are you ready to do? You're ready to do all my one hoots. You're ready to do all the one hoot paintings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're ready to do other people's classes and if they have a failure in their instruction, you will have enough core knowledge to bridge it. Right? Because sometimes people teach and they're really demoing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get this feedback a lot. I hear this from people all the time. They took a course here at the Yannics or they did, you know, a lecture, they went to a pain party and it's their


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not teaching as much as demoing. They're explaining some of what they do, but not all of what they do with these core skills from this course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should be able to handle most beginner classes that you could go take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At your local, at your local, uh, resources are online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, oh yeaah, the certificates. Alright, so this is the certificate, and this is a very important certificate, and here's why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me finish, keep it up there, but I'm gonna finish what you guys have learned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may not be ready quite yet to just paint from your trip photos, but you're closer. You will under, you may find my two hoop paintings, especially when they're like on a two and a half range, to be a stretch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now what I'm talking about won't seem like a foreign language. And you will understand why I'm doing what I'm doing in my three hoop paintings. Even if you're not ready for, you know, a twenty hour painting session. You know, or something crazy like that. You'll understand why I'm making the choices that I make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a core set of skills and art concepts that you now possess that will carry forward. So because of that, the certificate says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, One Hoop Painter Achievement Award, because you guys have really did the work, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In recognition of completing the first steps in a lifelong journey of art. See how I like said you have to keep painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have the knowledge and skill of a one hoot painter and should refer to themselves from this day forward as an artist. Officially now, you're an artist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no reason to not call yourself an artist. At all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except some space in your head where you're getting in your own head. You have done ten paintings. To be an artist, you do art. You know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you don't go back and watch the video, because you want to know the difference between a tacklon and a bristle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we are all now certifiable. Right? You are certifiable. Certifiable, certifiable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so on the free download, again, I'm not grading your test, just, you know, you do need to give me an email that I can reach you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do need to answer the questions. You don't have to answer them correctly. It's okay to get one wrong. It just helps me know what I gotta work on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do need to upload, uh, pick either one picture of all ten paintings, ten individual of them, you could do ta- I gave you up to ten files that you could do, or video! You could just video them and be like, I'm done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all of that's there, and then uhm, second to fortune days after that, you'll get an email with us to a link for you to get your downloadables. Your downloadable will be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A certificate that you can fill out and date yourself and you print out and put that on the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can, uh, get a profile pic and a Facebook banner that, and you can go check out my Facebook page if you want to see what those look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're your- I did this for the Art Eagles and everybody really liked it where you can sit there and say officially, I'm a one who painter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And it says art happens, which I like on the banner. I like that. And I also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I optimize those for mobile and desktop so your banner won't look crazy on your phone or your desktop. Cause I'm considerate like that. Now, on the certifications, uh, we have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One that, if you want, and I'll get this out and I don't know if John can zoom in on it or if it's, it's okay if you cannot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know where I put all the, I put pins everywhere, I have all these pins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want, because this was a big deal journey for many of you. You guys put a lot of work into this. You guys put a lot of heart into this. And I get what that's like. And I, and one of the things I've wanted to do for a while, and John has really wanted to do for a while, is badges and pins and things. So if you want to go to the website,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can, after you fill out the form, where you get all the free resources, that's included, but then you are, can purchase your One Hoot certificate from us, and we will print it on, uh, Fabriano, what's the GSM on the paper? Heavy paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can hand fill it out and I'm gonna hand sign it and date it and it's gonna be press stamp from the studio and you will get your one hoot. Pin. Pin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be your pretty one. So it'll be just like this, but this will be stamped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hand filled out by me and it won't say Shelly Sherbet, it'll say your name. Um, we're, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple things to know about the one that you buy off the store. Uhm, one, you've got to fill out the certificate. So, you know, you've got that process done. Two, if you're international, we need to email each other because there may be a difference in shipping. We deduct what we pay for shipping in the U.S.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you don't pay extra, just the difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, cause in the U.S. we include shipping, so for you guys international we just deduct that amount that we provide on shipping. Does that make sense? Am I making any sense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So, and those, those will be mailed out, you know, seven to ten days from receiving them, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be 10 minutes late and Sherpa soon. No, there's definitely Sherpa time. I definitely am on Sherpa time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's flair in your stuff. And so if, and again, you can just do the download free one if it's not in budget. I didn't want to make it like a barrier. This is just for if this is something that you want, could you get the free now and then order one later? Yeah. Can you finish this course anytime? Yeah. This is all in, this is just at your pleasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you get, this is the pin! The one hoot pin. So those of you who saw us giving away pins and wondering what were they about, this is what they were about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amy, did anyone show you the secret handshake? Uh, Jan, if it takes months for us to complete it, can we still purchase the printed certificate and pen? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's the thing guys, I will probably, as I learn from this, I'll update this course. One of the things, you know, we let 2016 Big Art Quest sit too long. Right? I fail. But now, we know not to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so there will be updates, there will be refinements, and so this is a forever course, this is something that we'll come back to year after year, we'll visit, we'll refine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll cover, you know, certain stuff deeper and we'll realize some stuff didn't need to be covered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, we don't want to put people in the position where they have to, to comment. If the reason we always like on the retreats, like I, we have a retreat coming up with my mom. If you want to know about that, write support at theartsherpa.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get on the email list to be one of the people to hear about the art retreat with my mom early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you want to get on that list, but it's not an inexpensive retreat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not inexpensive. And I don't like to put people in that position where they have to converse, where they're, I think budget is a fluid experience where sometimes we have more resources and sometimes we have less and we should never feel any feelings of worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or lack of worth around our finances. I don't think what's in our bank account has anything to do with what we're worth as people. It's just an exchange for goods and services, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I never want to put people in that position where I have to converse where they're at. And so I try to have a free option. Like at the retreat, we have a meetup that's free and come to the meetup for free. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that way, wherever you're at in the journey, there's- I always try to have some free version of something if I know people are gonna


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people are going to want it. I never want people to feel left out and I never want people to feel like they've got to justify what this month's current financial thing, like we have the ups and downs. We have times when we have more resources and we have times when we have less resources and I'll tell you what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like to apologize for that and I will absolutely have it out with anyone who tries to make me apologize for the fact that finances are fluid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just are. Oh, thank you, Rita. And that's, and that's why with our patrons we have a flexible patronage where you set your patronage. Because some months it might be $5, some months it might be upwards of I don't know what. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life is fluid. We just don't know what the future will hold. If 2020 taught us anything is we cannot predict the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what it's all about. Now, I cannot wait to see again. You have to make the solemn swear that you're not going to be hard on yourself if you missed a question. It does not matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have any problems with the uploading process, and John do you want to do the video walkthrough so we can show them how they go through that, how they would find it and do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll let John find that. So I did do a video walkthrough so you could see me go from the website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the Google, this is a Google form. In the Google form you, uh, you would go to the beginner acrylic, uh, button. That's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, I can do it on my laptop. Let me show you through my laptop. Here guys, I'm gonna take you to, uhm, to the forum. So, I was looking up a chicken recipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feds are not coming for me. Cause they'll be like, here's what, I watch a lot of Korean rom-coms and then I get fascinated about the food and I look up the recipes. This is literally what happens there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you come to the website and you see the beginner acrylic painting course. Boom! Push it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is everything that you need. This is your resources whenever you do this course. It's always collected here. And now their certificate is there, and you can see the profile pic that you could get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the banner that you could get and a certificate and then you go there. Whoop. Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so here you come down and it's, people know my Gmail so that's not a big deal cause that's all my like contact. Though write support at The Art Sherpa dot com cause I use my uh, Art Sherpa as a business Gmail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this tells you some stuff about the quiz and you can read that. I recommend it so you feel proud of yourself. And then you're gonna put in your email. Don't skip that part. That's necessary. This reminds you what you did and this asks you some questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No panning. Just answer your best. It just lets me know if I need to cover something better or if I'm doing a good job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I have to work on making my stuff shorter and more digestible and more concise. Maybe I need the mini books out earlier. There's things I might need to do. But these are some questions. And now here's one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an important one, it doesn't matter how you answer it, but it's maybe share your paintings or feedback on our website, newsletter, and also on social media for promotional purposes only.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just generally because we're proud of your work. So what that means is like, uh, there's a place to get feedback on this form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're uploading your paintings, is it, if it's okay with you, if I share that on something, on a newsletter, on social media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, in those kinds of ways that I, a person online, might do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And are you comfortable with that? Because I think it's really important to ask consent. So I'm asking for consent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I give you the prompter. Did you complete all ten paintings? Because that's important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then here you go. Here's where please upload all 10 paintings in jpg format. You may send all 10 in one image, all 10 images separately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may also send them as a video. If it glitches, please email support at the Archer.com and we'll be sure to include your email and name and your name on the website so we can find you. You would go there, you would add file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you select fi- select from your device. And that's the same on desktop or your phone or any of it. Wherever you've got your pictures stored of your artwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again, you could just put all paintings against the 10 paintings against the wall and take a picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it asks you what's your favorite part of the course. You could just give a one word answer if you don't want to give me a big blurb. I do require that of you, but you don't have to give me a big answer. The better answer you give me, the better. So what was your favorite part? What did you love?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And were there any questions that you still had after the course?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And here's your profile pic that you could put on Facebook. And here's your banner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at that. Isn't that a cute banner? It's flipped and it says art happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Send me a copy of my responses if you want a copy. And then submit. If you don't hit the submit button, I'll never know you were there. I tell you, this is going to be the number one place people have problems. Submit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, this is all linked off the website and I'm gonna see if I can go back to the website. So everything is like right here. You can see all that right here. Oh, and then if you want to go to the store, that's where you would find the certificate. Right there, among other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What device are you using? Right there, it's a really old iPad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not last year's iPad, it's a really old iPad. We've had it since...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's in the pro line, but it's the first gener- I think it was the first pro that came out. It was like a minute ago. And it's in armor. You can look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know because it doesn't work, it doesn't work with a lot of stuff because it's not, it's not updatable now at a certain point. I hit some thresholds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, that's how they get you with the tech, isn't it? They make it updateable and that kind of thing. They're like, ah ha ha ha ha, you have to get new because otherwise you can't operate any of the software that you like. And I'm like, errr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have me over the barrel. I don't know when I'm a pirate right now. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Trisha asked a really good question. Do each of the kids need their own Art Sherpa account to submit their art?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, because they, uhm, should be able to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have all my kids have their own, uh, Google accounts because of Google Classrooms being such a fantastic resource and they're all homeschooling. So they will need their own Google accounts. I, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I can also, like, if you're a homeschool mom and you're having trouble with the submission because you're submitting for multiple people in your family, it would work, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanted to like take pictures of everybody's artwork and then just put that in a note in the, what you liked about the course or the feedback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, or you can email us at support at thearcherba.com and I'll help you. I make sure all the kids get a certificate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, cause once you get access to the certificate, you can print them out and fill them, the free certificates, you can print them out and, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fill them out for everyone so you can print them out multiple times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you'd be able to do them for an entire family and fill them out and have them up. And you can also have, I'm not sure on the limits on Google forms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I think each time you go through, you've got to do it as a different Google, Google thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do recommend having Google accounts for kids just so they can do Google Classroom because Google Classroom is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is very cool. Uhm, but again, if that is not possible, you know me, I'm flexible and I am not here to keep kids from their certificates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you could just read out the things and they could just take the quiz and you could be their spokesperson for that and then print out multiple certificates and we'll just know that. And you can just leave me a note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any homeschool mom reading this, you could know that as well. Cause I homeschool my kids, so I get it. I do it through the school, but I totally get it cause it's like a whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I super, super get that. That was a good question. Thank you for asking that. I would have been like, Oh no, I missed a very important one. Um, so yeah. Yeah. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the ones that are free from the website, it comes with the name empty and the date empty and the digital signature. So you would fill in the person's name or your name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you would fill in, uhm, the date. Whenever you printed it out. And then it's got a digital signature. From me, if you purchase it from the website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need to tell me the names that you want on the certificates, uhm, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll take care of the date and everything, so I can't write that out. If you're doing multiples, uhm, maybe we can also do something on that. So write us about that if you're gonna do like a group of certificates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Emails. Uhm, thank you for the party. Is it disco time? Says Jenna Bogue. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, is there a time limit? Says Sarah to get the certificate. No time limit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not putting time limit up. These are up. If I'm here and I'm online, and these videos exist, the certificate is out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz I just, I'm not gonna keep somebody from the reward of doing the hard work. It's just not happening. And yeaah, we should do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did it. We did it. We painted a painting. We painted ten of them and we learned about all the techniques and the mixing and the studio and all the other things we needed to know. We did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did it! We are one hoot! Artists now! Whee! That was terrible. I don't go into a music career for so many reasons! Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just like, thank you for addressing that. I caught most of it. I'll re-listen and re-watch when my internet isn't being glitchy. I think the most important thing is, is if you have an unusual need around the certificate, email us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And unusual just means like you're not just going to the forum and printing it out and filling it out yourself or going to the website and you're just like if you're going to the website and just getting one and you've just got your name and don't worry about it. But if you're like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I did it at a, at a, like say if you did this course at an adult living facility and you want to get printing certificates for everybody and you need some help with that, we'll, we'll help you out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Email us. If you have a special need in any way that's beyond how our system is just organically set up, we will help you. So just email us what it is and we will work that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teachers, uh, you know, moms, all the people, just email us and we will work it out. We will help you. Pins! I told you they were for something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna have a lot of those coming. If you thought this was cool, and definitely give me feedback if you do acrylic April, I am thinking about including


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A similar process at the end of acrylic April, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And pinning a similar kind of certification thing and maybe even retroactively letting people go back. So if you think that that would be cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you guys work pretty hard on acrylic April too. Definitely let me know in the comments below. Let me know in the comments below what you thought of the course. Anything you want to, any feedback you want to give me, just let me know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hopefully this video helps you realize how much you actually did do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's a big deal and the certificate's cute, but the work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With serious and substantial and just cause we have fun with it doesn't mean it wasn't fundamentally super important in your journey as an artist. Be good to yourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be good to each other. And I do want to see you in an easel really soon tomorrow. Cause it's like the 12 days of Christmas are starting. So I'll see you for the painting Sunday at 1 PM. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the problem is, the sport is nowhere near where it used to be. Boxing ain't been hot since cycling. Like literally, that's race around the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, jazzy bitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When that monkey on your back gets too heavy for you to carry, remember me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, big man, she said, climbing to her feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you get big, I'll come by and see if your offer is still open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the last minute, she remembered that the little man with the dope bag today could be the big man with the bag tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as we understand each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The snow was now falling with such consistency that it was difficult to see farther than ten feet in front of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dope she had just chucked was alright, but she was on her way to Porky's, where she could buy a quantity of dope at discount prices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Porky had never given up the hope of getting her into his bed, and she meant to keep him that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she came to the main street where most of the girls worked she took her time and looked carefully around before running across. Porky sat in front of his window looking out. He had deliberately turned his back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many have been there for the past hour, begging for some credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her whining voice came to him sharply, piercing his ears. I done told you what you could do, bitch. He growled over his shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want some free dope, all you got to do is put on a freak show with one of my dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, okay, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus hell, bitch! Jesus ain't gonna help you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only help you gonna get is when you pray to Paul Key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you wanna stay in that bitch? He yelled, snatching his shirt loose from her grip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please, Porky, please. I'll pray to you if it will do any good. She begged, still on her knees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of Porky's gunmen walked over and pulled her away from him, dragging her roughly across the floor. You want me to toss this bitch out the door, Porky? He asked harshly. Just a minute, Porky commanded, looking out the window. Here comes your guardian angel in disguise, running. She must be done turning a trick cuz she's showing a hurry, Porky said, then added under his breath, the dirty bitch. Is that Terry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't get none either, bitch. He growled viciously from the window. I'm tired of you dope things thinking I'm something soft. Many screamed, almost hysterically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dirty son of a bitch wants me to fuck one of his dogs in front of everybody before he'll give me any credit. Porky laughed. I always knew you'd do it. What's wrong? You just shame to do it in front of everybody? His diabolical laughter filled the room. You funky dope fiend bitches kill me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You try to put up your little fronds, but you all fool me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You suck a shaggy bears dick if you could get a blow out of it. He added for emphasis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every one of you is more freakish than a frog with a mustache." Terry snorted. Ain't nobody in the world no more freakish than you, she said angrily. Her girlfriend pulled at her coat sleeve. Don't make him mad, Minnie pleaded. You know he just likes to have his fun. Porky roared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sat back in his chair and laughed until tears ran down his cheeks. As quiet as he kept Terry, he said, you can perform in a freak show with your friend. I got a dog for each one of you. You try holding your breath, Porky. Just do that until you see me put on a freak show for you. Her voice was cold. There was a harshness to it that wasn't there a month ago. She reached in her bra and pulled out her bankroll. Can I buy some dope here?

[Assistant] From now on, that bitch there has got to spend top dollar with a smart ass." Porky shouted at the top of his voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His outbreak was enough to make Smokey come out of a deep nod and stare around, then drop her head again. Terry pulled out five more dollars. Is that enough? She asked, holding the money out towards Big Ed. He took the money and folded it. Yeah baby, that should handle it. He walked over and shook Smokey. When her head came up, he put the money in her lap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terry replied over her shoulder as she walked towards the door, closely followed by Minnie. When she reached the door, she stopped and stared directly at Porky. If you should catch me out in a blizzard without a coat, your best bet is to either pour water on me or watch yours real close, because I just might end up with it. Her fading footsteps could still be heard as Porky spoke under his breath. The bitch done become a real snake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The courtroom sounded like a king-sized beehive, as the various voices mingled, most of them speaking just above a whisper because of the strange environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The morning was almost gone and it had been slow and repetitious. The first people to come before the judge for sentencing had been a long line of drunks, each one using a feeble excuse in an attempt to regain his freedom so he could continue his sordid life of deterioration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teddy and Snagit long since given up their seats on the hard benches to stand in the back of the courtroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every now and then a fast talking lawyer would seek out one of them in the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goddamn judges. Teddy swore angrily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been down here waitin' over three hours, and the bastards ain't brought the whores out yet. That's part of the game the would-be big fellas play," Snake replied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First they come out and work for half an hour, then they go sit on they fat asses for two hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bullshit!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man farther down the line said loudly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He continued, now that he saw he had a listening audience. They done picked up my woman three times this month, and each time it just costs a little more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly a policeman came through a side door, followed by a line of well dressed women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The men against the wall began to point out their various prostitutes. Their voices extra loud to let the people sitting on the hard benches know they were pimps. As the girls marched towards an empty box seat that was sometimes used for juries on serious crimes, their eyes searched the back wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their lawyer came hurrying up. I got it fixed boys, so that your girls will be just about the first ones called up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He removed his silk handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his bald head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You boys ain't got nothing to worry about. It's all in the bag. The judge is an old friend of mine. So we haven't got any worry on that problem. When the girls come up before him, he'll just give them a fine. Then you can be on your way. He rubbed his fat hands together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if you fellas would just get the rest of my money together, I'll get on up there and take care of the business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did you know where... I'd just like to ask you a few questions. And a man usually goes straight home from jail, so... I took the liberty of having you bring out. Thanks. Thanks very much. I think nothing of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much money did you take out of my safety deposit box?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was comparatively easy to have a duplicate made of my key, wasn't it? Here it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you go to work tomorrow, I wish you would bring me the rest of these bills. You see, they are no good as money. Their numbers are listed, but, uh, I have a use for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man can go on for years and years being honest and then some little thing occurs and his whole life is ruined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello? I had to risk calling you. I want to see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh. All right. What do you want? Listen, the Iroquois is sailing tonight from Pier 30 at 10.15 and I want to be on it. Meet me there at 10. Bring $50,000 and I'll tell you where the stuff is in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you bring the money? Right here. Here's a power of attorney and this is where the money and the records are hidden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what I was curious about, you're so fascinated by show business and you've always kind of been on the outside, then suddenly you're nominated, you're at the Emmys, how did you enjoy it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was different in that you knew that Otto Warmbier by the North Koreans was considered something special because he was from the Midwest, he was an attractive young man, he was an all-America boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You knew this one was special because it got a lot of TV coverage from North Korea, The Trial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you knew that this was a very sensitive time and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] United States-North Korea relations, so the North Koreans you knew early on would use them as a bargaining chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get something back from the United States. They always use political prisoners as bargaining chips. They want something in return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The North Koreans are very tough on interrogations, and their prisons are not ideal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes they make these political prisoners work in the fields so labor is involved. Do they specifically torture? I don't have any evidence that they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they treat the prisoners well? No. I think where the North Koreans fall short is just in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It depends on the prize of the prisoner that they hold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanna dramatize it as much as they can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Obama administration and the North Korean relationship was not good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Context we had said that they didn't know either that he was in a coma. That's possible. He was control the young man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only the top echelon knows what's going on and they decide who gets the information within their own government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd hope that he was not trying to use the family. I think he genuinely felt for the family and for Otto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then his statements about Kim Jong Un, my buddy, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're changing the way the world saw the black man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shows no signs of understanding language, responding to verbal commands or awareness of his surroundings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Valerie, divorce must agree with you. You look lovelier than ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minnie Moe. Why General Grant rode that pig at Richmond? Say, what do you know about her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Careless nothing. Ella May can't possibly lose. Let's forget about Horson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Valerie, when we split up, I'd have bet two to one you'd remarry in a month. Here you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of alimony, I, I suppose you've noticed I haven't sent this month's check yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a two-year-old at the Saratoga sale and, well, I just simply couldn't resist it. The check will be a bit late, but you don't mind, do you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you ever see a more beautiful piece of horse flesh in your life? You won the last two outs just for a bottom. Yes, but they don't pay off on looks and fast performances, you know. Oh, don't they? Well, then just what am I paying Mrs. Randall for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a funny thing. You remember that divorce I got about a year ago? Yes. Well, I remember distinctly, the headlines coming out in the paper, Valerie Randall seeks freedom. She got it, didn't she? Yes. But I have to keep buying mine every month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, Bill. Tear up your tickets. Not I, I've got two dollars on goldfish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ajax sold for $11,000 as a yearling, and that's what I paid for. And then trainers, blacksmiths, entry fees, transportation, and depreciation. Don't forget depreciation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell her all about Ethel's place at Duck Point. You're a lawyer. You ought to be able to talk her into going there for the weekend. You mean you're going to start courting her all over again? No, Bill. I had my chance, but I wasn't worthy of her. This time I'm thinking of Paul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First they'll take a little stroll, hand in hand. Then Paul will turn to Valerie and say, Valerie, let us fly. The Parson's waiting. Can't miss. Oh, and that isn't all. I ordered a full moon for tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, I've seen her listen to that piece with streaming eyes. Probably happy, robot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill, this is marvelous. Three days together in a place like this, they'll be crazy about each other. They'll be crazy anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, uh, we were afraid you weren't coming. Valerie wanted to stop to watch the moon rise, so we did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get it. Paul's usually the life of the party. Say, maybe it's the change of time or the attitude or something, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Voice like that belongs to the world. Has Valerie been down yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This early rising of yours is a very interesting new phase. I never used to see you for breakfast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How would you know the right thing? This is one of those times that requires masculine thinking. Size up the situation and act accordingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something phony about that Freddy guy. I'm just waiting for him to try and sell me some bum oil stock or maybe a horse. Well, not a horse, but some stock maybe or try to cash a check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The jack, the jack, the thing you use to raise the wheel. Any idiot knows that and carries one in case of emergency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, Paul, old man, I'm surprised at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't the old Dartmouth halfback. You shouldn't be so easily licked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not at all. Look, suppose the catcher drops the ball, then what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello. Yes, Tony. Two hundred across the board. And Ajax better win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello. As well, I have another bet for you. Mrs. Randall wants Ajax for 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keen student of facial expression that I am, I seem to detect a faint glimmer of malice on your usually cheerful accountants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you can't see why I'd rather have her marry Paul and Freddie, I don't think much of your ability is size people up. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, you're out. Stop it, will ya?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that, that, whatever he is. Say, you aren't gonna marry him, are ya?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I won't let you do it. Be suicide. A man you know nothing about. With Paul, it's different. He has family and character and background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so you're right again. But you listen to me. You always want me to say the things I mean. Well, I mean this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and I promised each other certain things in that little brick church two years ago and, well, those things still hold good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've forgotten nothing. All you remember is that we were divorced. I remember everything else. I remember when I asked you to marry me and I remember what we said when we got married. I said I loved you. That's one of the things that still holds good. Oh, please, darling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we said in the Little Brick Church means so much more than what some judge said in the courtroom. Let's try again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had some doubts myself. She's a wonderful girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, Mayor. Do your worst. Marriage is a mutual involuntary...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just carry on from I do. I do. But you're a different man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you Mr. Randall? Yes. I'm sorry to disturb you, but you'll have to come with me. Come where? I've got a warrant here for your arrest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I gotta get out of here. Try the Lawyers Club. I did. They told me to try his house in Westchester. Did you? I did not. That's a 15 cent call. Wait a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, uh, Valerie Randall, take this man to be your lawful wedded husband? To love, honor, cherish, and protect him as long as you both shall live?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, uh, uh, Tully Randall take this woman to be... What's that? Y-you just say I do. Yes, but I do to who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dieser Wald des Todes, wie er von den Soldaten genannt wurde, ein Wald ohne Baumkronen, ohne Vogelnest, ohne Lebewesen, ist nur heute mit Stacheldraht umgeben. Denn hier war buchstäblich jeder Meter durch Minen verseucht.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eine deutsche Minensuchabteilung ist noch jetzt, zwei Jahre nach dem Waffenstillstand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm getting some major deja vu right now because I coulda sworn we got a retro racer just like Clovis Ryder here almost two years ago now in Randy Loss. I mean they both have like a black main body and then a different colored roof. Wow, they're pretty similar looking. I mean from a distance like dang, both have like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be reviewing Clovis Ryder and he's actually much different than Randy than you think. I was kind of joking there, but they really do like just look similar like at first glance. It's like, wow, those are like carbon copies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll link that unboxing in the description below and car suggestion pop up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to check it out. Really, really great case. I actually found it at my local Target the other day, but unfortunately Clovis, one of the Nick Shifts and Racing Red Francesco were absent. So unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disney Docket did not enjoy those, but he did get them out of the case, so it's all good. New for 2021.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the art. I like how kind of determined and just gritty he looks like squinching his eyes a little bit there. I like that on the desert horizon packaging. Metal. This expression's pretty happy and jovial though. Cars 3 of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Muddy Russies, Racing Center, Lightning McQueen, Trainer Cruz Mirez, Using Racing Tractor, Pam Wieldero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These two case E, this one was D, so I wish they put like the case H stuff on the back here, but it appears that they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It means that they're keeping up with it and advertising, you know, the new stuff and that old stuff that you probably won't be able to find at the time that you're finding this physical thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And darker greens and stuff like that. So I'm happy for this. And yep, like I said, he is a different model from Randy Lawson here and that's easily proved just by the length of them. Like here I'll put clothes on front. You could see that he is longer there by the tail fins. Trust me. See they are both pressed up against my hand and yet Randy is still longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can also tell that he has these vents engraved there, whereas Randy does not. They have entirely different grills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy is Savy Mears, Clovis does not. So yea, a lot of people thought like, oh my god Clovis is the same model as Randy and Ducky and, nah gee, nah. Really not even close, he's even like thinner too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm happy that they did that, but they are still similar, but different. And that's what matters. I do love his expression though, like I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 355 horsepower there and that's all you got on the hood and some red text. Mouth is wide open. He's got a plastic bumper up here. Yellow wheels, which I like. Nice, they're darker than the roof so it's a nice little compliment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like how these vents are, you know, engraved so you can feel them, run your finger across them. Juanita's Carbecue, I love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would love to meet Juanita. Like I feel like that's a pretty cool car. I feel like she's got some personality to her. Now one of his sponsors here is Southern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this is another, like this run board here, this running board is like textured, like those three lines right there, like you could feel that. So that's really cool, I like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] High Point, North Carolina is the hometown. Larry's Auto Parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Route 3, it appears that's kind of one of his sponsors as well, the main one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or no, I'd say Juanita's is probably his primary sponsor. He's got four though, cause over here you can see motor oil as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His name is Clovis Ryder there on the roof edges. Love this pure yellow roof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like how the 41's in black have like the inverse of this. Looks really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, we can confirm that the Route 3 here actually applies to Larry's auto parts and not the High Point, North Carolina, because of the fact that, you know, the decals are flipped and so, you know, it puts it over here. Cause like, I, it's like in the same font as High Point almost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Onita's Carbecue and Larry's Other Parts. Uhm, yeah, see, look at that. I didn't even read this decal. Out on route. Wait, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is route 3, this is route like 30 or 21, like I don't know what's going on there, that's a little peculiar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either way, his license plate is D10-02H. So it must be, you know, somebody's initials, DH, and then a birthday of October 2nd. I feel like that's probably just a ton of people that work for, like all these license plates who have, you know, pretty much every Car Street character has a license plate in this format, which is letter, birth date, letter, like initial, letter, birth date. Initial, birth date, initial, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like they're probably just like Mattel employees. And so only within Mattel, like they know whose it is. And so, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, alright, alright guys, it's uh, Steve's turn for birthday car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your birthday? And then they could buy a bunch of their car and be like, hey, this car has my birthday on it, you know, and, you know, share it to our family and friends and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, love this guy. Did not show him in the movie earlier, so there he is. I feel like it's going to be an absolute pain in the half to find him in the movie because of the fact that, you know, at this point most of these guys were just like a blur and not even like, when I reviewed Joe Don Jackson, like I probably took a half an hour just trying to find him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brown blur back there, but, you know, I think he actually is a little bit easier to find. Anyway, comparing him to Slim Hood here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But still kind of cut from the same cloth as Clovis, you know, this coupe style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy Heming, the iconic one. Leroy Heming is one of the most detailed ones with the revolting 300. Like that's just so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so at first glance you see like, yeah, oh, they're both black with like different colored roofs, but no. Expressions are different. Everything is really different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hand blue, but I just actually sneezed on the camera there, but I was like, alright. Don't worry, I covered my mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ducky, Clovis, and Randy are not at risk of contracting any unwanted sicknesses. Don't worry. Plus, I've been vaccinated and I've had COVID, just so you guys know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there will be like, yeaah, this will probably be the last video. Anyone would suspect those questions to be answered then. I mean, I wouldn't have expected me to answer that in this video. Because, you know, who knows when I could have sneezed in any video, right? But alright guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you say stuff like that, but I think it's funny and it shows my personality. So thank you guys so much for watching this video. Let me know in the comments, who is your favorite retro racer? Mine is still Mr. Duckbird over here. He looks amazing. I love his color red, but Clovis is probably like top four. I think, I think top four. All right guys, I'll see you soon. Bye now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Hi everyone. I'm Xiaoying Lu, and I'm going to present this paper, Do Transformers Really Perform Bad for Graph Representation. It is a paper from Microsoft Asia, and it is also a proceeding of Neuroreps 2021.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's the outline, the sections I will be covering today, and the reference part is for materials I used for the slides, and not for the complete reference for this paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, this paper is just mainly doing graph representation learning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what is graph representation learning and what is a normal GNN looks like? So first of all, we need to input a graph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what exactly is like to input a graph into GNN or a transformer like this paper did? So first of all, we, uh, the input layer, like here, the index zero means, uh, uh, layer zero, which will be, uh, the first layer and the input layer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, for first layer, the input is the node feature of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside GNN, each layer represents a hop distance inside a graph or to say network. These are just some interchangeable terms. And, uh, yeah, so, uh, for each layer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They aggregate the node feature of one particular node, uh, in this case will be the i-th node.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the aggregated feature information from the L minus one layer and the aggregated function can be just simply, uh, the average of the feature or the summation or the arm or just pick the maximum value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So after aggregating all the information from last layer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the combined function will be combined


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This ai at layer L, which is what we calculated here, the output of the aggregate function.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then this is the node representation from the last layer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well, so you can see the index is l minus one and then combine this, uh, node representation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the aggregated neighbor features and combine them together as the new node representation for layer L.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally, after all these layers and, uh, you will be, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will have like all these learned new node representations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, our objective is actually to learn a graph representation. So how exactly are we just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get that graph representation out of all these node representation. So here we have a readout function. So the readout function is to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of also aggregate all the feature learned for each node and then at the last layer they aggregated all these features into just one representation. So the readout function can also just simply be a, um, average or, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, graph, uh, graph-level pooling, but which will still somehow be the same. It's just pick the maximum value or the average value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then after the readout function, we will get the graph representation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what are the features in graph? So as you can recall, we said that the input level is the node feature. So what exactly these node features are? So for example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a social network and nodes representing people and the node attribute can be the edge, edge of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these attributes, uhm, sometimes we use the attribute as the, uhm, more semantic, uh, as the feature of more, with more semantic, uh, meaning and the feature will


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will be representing the ones that being processed in certain level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So also, uh, if you have a social network and the edge can be the connection between people on social media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here the edge attribute will be one person like the other one's post or one person commented under another person's post. So these can be the edge attributes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Representation learning. So, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But all these, as you can see that the graph level, the graph representation is actually aggregated from the new learned node.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So actually there can be like three general tasks under all these, under the same workflow. So first one is note level prediction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, uh, if you have a citation network and the note will be a paper and the note


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, here we should call it no feature because it is being processed. So the no feature can be the work-to-back embedding of a paper's abstract and title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And based on the, uh, what's the back embedding of a paper's abstract in title, the prediction goal is, uh, what this paper is from, the, the, the peel, uh, the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of that paper, so it can be like under computer science and could be like social science. So just based on based on the paper's abstract and title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the other one, uh, the other task is edge level prediction. Still, if you have a citation network, the edge could be one paper size and another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rank from high to low, like which two are key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the third one is graph level prediction, and this one is what this work is about, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The example here is, I think it's just like what this work is mainly being used on and which are that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if it inhibits that, uh, that trait or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so these are the three tasks and this case is actually borrowed from the open graph benchmark and which I will be talking about in the following slides. But by now, do you have any questions?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are the data sets that are used in this work. First one is

[Assistant] Benchmarking graph neural networks. So, uh, in this benchmark, they provided many, like, real-world graphs and also mathematical graphs, but here I didn't list all of them out because they only use, for this work, they only use the, uh, the zinc, uh, graph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Zinc graph is also a graph that each graph represents a molecule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the task of zinc is to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make graph regression, which is labeled by four


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the, uh, by four of the human metas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't exactly know what that is because I'm not a chemistry expert or I suck at chemistry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, I just don't know what that means, but it's doing a graph regression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, regression task, that, that, that part I understand. So uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, problem is that graph representing a molecule, so the node will always not be that much, but the graph, uh, the amount of the graph


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a lot, so if you don't think this one is enough for your work, you can find the other, like, variants, like thinkful, or there's all, like, all kinds of different, different sizes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other side is OpenGraphBenchmark and shortened as OGB.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here you can see that they actually provided uhm, many datasets for different tasks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the graph level prediction tasks are all just molecule graphs and to predict some of the features of that graph. But here you can actually see this code 2 is actually in the computer science field. It's not just to predict a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nearly five times to the molecule, uh, data sets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyways, these two are the ones that this work use. So, yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the third dataset is OpenGraphBenchmarkLargeScaleChallenge. Yeah, by its name, it's very, kind of very intuitive. It's just three very large data sets, graph data sets. And these three are, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, yeaah, just like we mentioned, node level, link level, and graph level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, very intuitively, uhm, this work, GraphWarmr, is using this GraphWarmr, uh, sorry, this graph level large-scale dataset, uh, as the pre-trim model and also just as it's, as it's, and the two


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if not, I will start to, like, introduce the, uh, graph former methodologies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first of all, by the name GraphFormer, and as Professor just introduced, it is just a transformer being used for graph data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, what, uh, just as the title, our graph formers really performs like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bad on graph data set. And, uh, yeaah. So apparently the answer is no. They achieved better performance than population and architectures and also former attempts of graph transformers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the motivation here is to answer the question that whether transformer architectures is suitable to model graphs and how to make it work in graph representation learning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's some comparison to the popular traditional GNNs and former graph transformer attempt. So before, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the work, just replacing the key modules, like what we just said, the neighbor aggregation functions in class, in classic GNN variants by using the transformer softmax attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's not directly being built on the transformer. It's just like replacing one of the modules. And second, some of the uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work only calculates the semantic similarity between notes without considering the whole graph structural information. So that would be kind of, uhm, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bad, because if you only consider the semantic similarity between notes, which means that you only considered


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the worst case is that you only consider the, uh, node feature.
