Lessons & Carols 2021

I’ll have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about the discussion visit to the Clements Library at first. I thought to myself, I’m in libraries enough for studying why the heck would I want to be in one for longer than I need to? However the visit to the Clements Library turned out to be a very enjoyable and educational trip.

The most intriguing objects I saw at that library were the prints of the Yokahama (sp?) Harbor and the influence it had on trade with Japan. There were two prints (only the Japanese one is pictured above), one American and one, Japanese. Both were visiually appealing, with detailed illustrations and color. The two prints differed by how each country portrayed the trading with one another. Of course the American one was illustrated more in their favor and vise versa. The American print especially showed United States military power. The Japanese print however displayed Japanese military power with the American’s bringing gifts, cannons surrounding the American fleets, and banners of Japanese warlords.

This ultimately brought up the idea of art/image having a powerful and significant influence on not only in historical aspects but how we see things today. I know that if I only saw one of the other prints my view on that particular event would’ve differed immensely.

The rest of the Clements library private collection of Asian history was very interesting. Besides the Yokahama Harbor prints I still wonder what the box said…(remember the guy who was speaking asked people to read this unknown box and whoever figured it out would get a prize) anyone know?

This bunny loves to hop. This Christmas bunny was sad. She said, "give it back"; Snake said, "Only if you give me a carrot flavored cookie" She did. The snake gave her the present slowly.

OK. So it was his second. (I forgot the camera for his first lesson.)

This book was split into 10 lessons that were learned over the years. This is from "lesson 8."

As Michael Phelps once said “ nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn’t be done, all it takes is an imagination.” With this in mind our pupils enjoyed splashing away their thoughts today in their first swimming lesson this year.

Described more of the textures and patterns using only Inktense colours and ink only for main outlines - I like this approach. Need to work on the effects of activating the pencil colours with water - tends to go streaky. The view finder did make me think about where to position items .
