What do Cherokee gourd masks, a shotgun house, Indonesian shadow-puppets, woven Bolivian chuspas, the Rainbow Snake of Aboriginal stories, boomerangs and bark painting, and an authentic Southeast Asian gamelan have in common?
Well, if you read my previous entry, you can pretty much guess, but I'm just here tonight to say I am back home!! Yeay!
But I had such fun, and there is much to tell. I would have had pictures, but as I went to upload them from my camera, the message from the camera was "Need to charge batteries." So no pictures tonight, which is okay because it is late, and I need to go look at my lesson plans (that I wrote a week ago) so I'll know what to do tomorrow.
I look forward to sharing my photos, and the videos. I had to buy another memory card (2gb) just to hold it all. I hope it looks and sounds as good as I heard. I especially want to tell you about the gamelan because I had never heard of one of those... it's an orchestra of percussion instruments.... such a special treat to hear them play last night. I even got to play after their performance! I do have a photo of that.
So, over the next few days, I will show you what all those above-named things have in common, and hope I can do NCCAT justice.
Thanks for hanging with me, and for your patience. I'll be visiting each of you very soon as well over the next seven days.

It sounds like a good course and you had fun too. That cannot be bad. look forward to hearing more about it. Love Conniex
The suspense will kill me
'cause I've never read a list
of things about which I know
zero minus infinity. The Aborigine
item should ring a bell, but doesn't.
("Search for the Golden Boomerang"
was a radio serial I doted
on when a child.) You're definitely
unique Bea725. By comparison
I feel as plain as a pebble on
the steps to "Liberty" with the torch,
the French gift that goes on giving.
Missed ya!

I'm assuming that the theme here is experiencing art forms from many cultures. It reminds me in a way of Cub Scouts. I remember how we used to make roons, teepees and the like. It's a great way to open minds early. Looking forward to your photos.
