Artwork and Spatial Awareness

These were two separate conversations that I had with students yesterday:

Student looks up at the Edgar Degas painting on the studio wall. 

Edgar Degas - Chasse de danse

Student #1: That painting is weird.
Me: How so?
Student #1: She looks like she's giving Degas the stink eye!
Me: (Laughing) I guess I never looked at it like that before!
Student #1: She's TOTALLY giving him the stink eye! Like, "Stop painting me!"
Me: (Laughing) Now I'm never going to be able to look at that painting without thinking about this.

...

Student #2: At my old school, I was dancing in a production of High School the Musical, and doing fouetté turns on a table, when I kicked some boy in the eye.
Me: OUCH!
Student #2: Yeah, I felt kinda bad - but it's not like it was my fault. I was all like "Get your face out of my leg space!"

Hilarious!!

Just finished catching up - offline for two months - and love your cowl! The colour is beautiful on you. And happy belated birthday! I am exactly 3 years, 364 days older than you, and the 30s get better as you get farther into them, though it could be that I"m still acting like I'm 23. Haha!

Best of luck with the temporary home. :-)
