The Heart In The Bottle

5/2/2018

The book was about a girl. She loved nature. Her father (or Granddad) would always go with her. Until he passed away. She decided to hide her feelings and her heart in a bottle, she would wear it around her neck everywhere she would go. She found it hard to let go of her past. So she didn't go out anymore. She became anti-social, depressed, and not being curious anymore. Every day the bottle got heavier and heavier. Until she decided to let her heart free. But she forgot how. Until she met a little girl. She was a reflection of when she was a child. The little girl was curious about the ocean and nature. The girl helped her let go of her feelings. They became friends and shared their passion together.

I would recommend this book if you would like a challenge. I if full of hidden messages that you must find yourself. This book makes you think out of the box.

The main part of the story was about the girl's curiosity.
Curiosity helps open your mind and explore new things. 

Lion King 4/12/2017

Today was the first time we went to the auditorium.

Practising properly for the first time was went better than expected. Mostly everyone knows most of their lines as well as their timing to go on and off stage.

Since I am part of the Barb Chorus all I needed to work on was the chords and timing to go on and off stage. I picked out a cheetah print cloak as my costume. I love cheetahs so that's what I'm going to go as.

The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, usually placed on a stone pedestal. The work shows a nude male figure of over life-size sitting on a rock with his chin resting on one hand as though deep in thought and is often used as an image to represent philosophy.

;The Thinker was originally conceived as part of Rodin's design for a set of bronze doors for a museum in Paris. This figure represented Dante Alighieri, an early Italian Renaissance poet. Rodin depicted Dante reflecting on The Divine Comedy, his epic poem about heaven, hell, and the fate of all humankind.

Circle Of Life

Today we have started to learn the song Circle of Life.
The song Circle of Life is about animals big and small gather round to cheerish the newborn royal lion cub. The song of course is about the newborn cub seeing his surroundings.

We learned some helpful voice breathing exercises which actually do help.
Diaphragm

• Stomach in and out
• Not shoulders

Another tip to reach high notes is to lower your jaw, and if nessersary you can bend your knees.

UK Culture

The urge to tell posterity “I was here” runs through art from Jackson Pollock, who allegedly hid a giant signature in one of his most famous abstract paintings, right back to Jan van Eyck, the grandfather of oil painting. His masterpiece,The Arnolfini Portrait, contains an elaborate Latin signature on the wall behind the couple, "Jan van Eyck was here 1434", while in the mirror above, two tiny figures, discernible only with a magnifying glass, stand in the position of the artist looking at the scene, one of them – generally presumed to be van Eyck himself – raising his hand in greeting to viewers down the ages (see image below).

Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors (National Gallery, London)

These well-dressed gentlemen may appear in the pink of youthful health and confidence, but look from the lower left or right and the diagonal blur in the foreground reveals itself as a skull rendered in anamorphic perspective. The idea of the memento mori – the reminder of death – was common, though why it should have been so prominently attached to these young men, French ambassadors to London, remains a mystery. The painting may have been designed to a hang on a stairwell, so that the passing householder encountered the hollow-eyed skull as a salutary reminder of the vanity of earthly things.
