Friday, March 9th, 2012

Dear Humanities Kids,

I hope you have a glorious weekend. PLEASE REMEMBER the following:

IF YOU MISSED THE QUEST COVERING THE GODS, PLEASE PLAN ON ATTENDING FLEX ON TUESDAY TO TAKE IT!

1. Your first CER is due on Wednesday, March 21st. Josh indicated that there is a mythological exhibit at the Scera. I'm going to check it out this weekend! This sounds like a great idea for everyone, as it is free and relates to what we have been studying in class. You can also focus your CER on any piece of artwork in the school. You could attend Steel Magnolias which runs from 9-11th at THS. The music department is pertaining a "Night of Broadway" on March 20th. This is waiting until the night before, but it still is an option for you! Remember that you will select THREE of the FIVE elements of design for your five paragraph essay, discussing your particular artistic choice.

2. Your "Art in Mythology" is due on Tuesday, March 13th!

What did we do in class on Friday, Crampton?
1. Everyone took their quiz over the gods....Well done!
2. We then started to discuss the pieces of artwork assigned to you and their corresponding myths. We read the following myths in class. If you missed class, please read them at home.
  • "Arachne" pg. 375
  • "Daphne" pg. 155
  • "Artemis and Acteon" pg. (sorry, I can't remember the page number and I am typing at home. Look the myth up in the index in your book. )

I look forward to seeing you on TUESDAY!
