Going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Today I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my French teacher Catherine. We went there to go look at Impressionist paintings by Impressionist painters. We went to the 19th century gallery. There were paintings by Van Gough, Monet, Cezanne, Manet, Seurat, etc. If you look at all the different pieces of Impressionist paintings by the artists you can tell that each artist painted differently.

For example, Van Gogh would paint more with curves.

Monet would paint of things that were always outside and that his paintings were very well done that he didn't need to draw the sun's reflection on the water to show that it was outside.

Seurat would paint with small dabs with the brush, or should I say dots of colors.

Renoir would paint things outside, like the country side of France, and of rich people. Well, I wouldn't say "Rich people" but more to express the outer side of people.

Edgar Degas would paint ballet subjects and also just people.

Paul Cezanne painted things lightly in a way.

Gauguin would paint things with boundaries using black and the people he would paint would be kind of "big" looking but looking more with strength.

When you look close up of paintings of Impressionism you can see the body of a person is used with not pink but pink with orange, red, blue, purple, etc. When me and my teacher Catherine were listening to a Museum instructor was asking a group of teenage students somehow made me tired of hearing it over and over. The question which is usually recognized when someone is showing art is "What do you see in the painting?" of course they had to answer but I noticed the instructor from the MET did not once mention what my french teacher Catherine would mention. Which is of what I said about the artists and close up you can see every color that was used in the painting not pink.

The so called "basics"

My mother is part of this yahoo group that has to do with parents that are homeschool parents. So last night when I signed on my mother's screen name on aol, I read a letter from this crazy lady, I shouldn't say "crazy" more like "not very smart" lady, who has to do with the homeschool yahoo group and e-mails 4 letters per second, sent four letters. I read one of them. It said about how her son is so darling like and that she doesn't want to teach him the "horrifying" details of WWII. He is 11. Stop treating him like some "darling" 4 year old. The basics of the 11 year old child of hers that knows about WWII is about every single plane, bomb, torpedo, submarine, bomber airplane, et cetera. This is more of a "obsessed" type of basics of WWII.

It's like saying that her son knows every sword, arrow, bow, nazgul, ring-wraith, elf, human, dwarf was used in Lord Of The Rings when he does not know point of what was J.R.R. Tolkien was trying to interpret from Lord Of The Rings. Which is how the ring is more described as a machine of power that people want are greedy over for power.

The River Project

Every Tuesday I go to a place called The Hudson River Project. What we do there, me and other interns, is that we study the life in the Hudson river. Today was a nice day. It was a hot day for February. I went to The Hudson River Foundation which I had never to been before. I went there for a meeting. After the meeting I walked with my mom and with an assistant intern and also a staff member friend of mine, Chris, towards the Hudson River Project. Since it was a nice day, I was actually able to teach Elaine, the assistant intern, how to do the chemical tests outside on the dock. After that me and Chris caught three shrimp in one of the fish traps and had set them free.
