Last week of the Winter term. The Spring term starts April 2.
The Vernal Equinox starts next week!
Every Spring I love to listen to Stravinsky's
"Le Sacre du Printemps" and try to do a painting in that spirit. the piece was performed first in Paris on May 29, 1913 and caused an audience uproar. It was concieved by Stravinsky and the painter Nicolas Roerich as a ballet that expressed pre-Christian Russian paganism and told the story of Roerich's dream of a beautiful (of course!) pagan girl who dances herself to death. I will play the piece in all classes next week so we can see what it does for us. see you next week, john.
