Two days of College

I was so busy working on a few stories that i was unable to post yesterday. Today I'll just do a few quick over views.

Monday [yesterday] we had a guest author come into writing. Her name was Liz Rosenburg and she is the author of many children books, young adult books, poems books, and an adult novel. She had us walking all around campus working to see and find information that could be put into our writing. She had us focusing on dialogue and scenery. We each wrote a piece that consisted of a family fight scene. Mine was of a young man barging into a home. I will, as always, post it in my writing blog.

Later that day they made us do a cruel thing. We had to...[dun dun dun] Dance! They taught us three dances. The mambo, a dance done at Jewish weddings, and line dancing.

In art we got the right to do anything in printmaking. I chose to do paint-print [where you paint a picture on glass or plastic and print it onto paper- Most of them turned out good. I did roses, a book cover, and scenery.

Today [Tuesday] we were in the computer lab. We had to write a short story or poem that could be submitted into publication for the writing course. I will not be posting this short story until AFTER Friday since it is be published. We also wrote a poem about where we feel safest. I WILL post this one. It was a very good day!

At lunch we were but into groups and had to chose a leader from history. My group chose Julius Caesar and dressed Jesus in a toga. Going against history a bit, we gave him a katana because it looked better! He ended up wearing it out of the lunch room and across the street to the art studio.

In art we were again aloud to do as we wished. i experimented with fabrics and paint-printing. I got a few good ones done and a Japanese painting done as well. I was happy to hear that the teacher wished to select a few of my pieces to be published in the book as illustrations. I can't wait to find out if any of my work is selected.

I'll tell you all what happens!

Until next post, this has been Angela N. Tharp.
