Art History, Period 1, Class 4 [2-8]

[screwyoumarvel]

"I could say a whole lot about ancient Rome, but, as with Greece, I am a kind man and this class is only an hour long. Not even that. So I'll keep it short." Steve went on to talk about Roman sculpture and architecture in very, very brief. "What's important, really, is that, like Alexander spreading Greek culture, Rome conquered everything they could lay hands to, and spread their culture, while adopting Greek culture wholesale elements of conquered people's culture and art. The ancient Roman empire was a real melting pot in many ways. Now for something completely different. I thought something hands-on would be nice, and while researching for this class, I learned that today is the date of an ancient Roman festival, the Lupercalia, meant to avert evil spirits, among other things. So your assignment today is to draw or sculpt a wolf. I've provided drawing materials and modeling clay. If you don't want to draw a wolf you can always attempt to reconstruct the Colosseum out of popsicle sticks. Have fun!"

My Country - Period 3 - Friday

Yondaime might have looked a little bit bedraggled and out of it as he came into class almost fifteen minutes late. He rubbed his eyes and got himself a cup of coffee before plopping down at his desk.

“Imports and Exports, every place has them and some of them are really really weird,” he paused to take a big drink of coffee. “For example there are some countries that export guano, or bat feces. Why would people want to import something like guano? Or manure? Or eels skin? There are usually good reasons that you wouldn’t necessarily think of.

“So today we’re going to make things pretty easy. I want you all to work in teams to look up a really weird import or export and find the reason why they need it. Then I want each of you to come up with 3 imports and 3 exports for your country, one of which has to be kind of weird and you’ll need a reason for each.”

And while they all did that Yondaime would be at his desk, trying to stay awake.

Library [15/02]

Karal was smiling when he bounced into the library, and humming under his breath as he opened it.

It's quite possible today's library goers might find this annoying.
