There is an interesting show at the Brooklyn Museum

There is a new and interesting show at the Brooklyn Museum called "Connecting Cultures"
If you have a chance go online and view some of the amazing objects on display.
For instance this 900 A.D. Huaxtec stone carving of a young man, the back of which shows the future of all youth: Death.
Welcome back deCordova artists (after a month off), as well as artists new to my class.
Also Newart Center artists (after a week  off). Next week let's try a piece that shows this life/death concept in some way: this idea has been around in all cultures for as long as we have been human and aas infinite visual possibilities. see you next week, john.
