I just lost a long blog because I was tyring to add a yahoo insert about Impressionist. This taught be a lesson. I should have saved it first and then tried to add the insert. I went to Ruffin this morning for my drawing class with Akemi Ohara. The kids were already busy drawing. We are learning about shading. I am copying one of the Impressionist pictures but I am not sure whose picture it is. It is a middle aged woman in a long blue dress with very large hands. I have finished a good part of it but have not yet tackled the hands. I folded up the picture she gave us and then divided the paper I drew on in sections and tried to use the sections as a guide. I have never done this before but watched one of the other students do this and just tried it.
I like going into Ruffin because I get to see all the different art forms. Right now on the first floor there is and exhibit of clothes. There are many mannequins wearing the outfits but also there are pictures of the clothes. ( schematics). There is a gallery on the third floor and I often peek in that room to see if it has changed. I learn just looking at the art work on the walls. I decided I am right brained and that is why I like all of this so much.
I made chocolate strawberries for our party. I am going to check on them after I finish this. I also went up and took last week's issue of the hook to Chilie. He gave me a thermos for Rick to take when he bikes. Last week he had to go out an pick Rick up because he had tire trouble.
