When you think of art, what comes to mind? Do you personally like art? If so, what kind of art? If we think about it, we all like art in some shape or form. For some, art is a beautiful oil painting on canvas. To another, art is expressed through dance, while to another, it is expressed through one's fingers as one molds and shapes new objects made with clay.

Did you know that written text can also be art? All of YOU are to be my new artists...I would like all of you to be artists with the freedom to express yourselves in any way that you would like. Every Sunday evening or Monday morning, I will post the topic for you to write about. Once you have read my topic, you will need to write your responses on your own blog. Your responses ought to be 1-2 paragraphs in length, but you should not spend more than 30 minutes writing them. Be sure to title each blog entry with "Topic #__:" and then your own title.

Next, you will need to comment on your classmates' blogs. Each student needs to leave a 2-3 sentences comment on two other students' blogs in order to receive credit per week.

Your responses and comments will need to be completed by 11:00 p.m. every Saturday. There will be no exception! Therefore, plan on completing this assignment before the Saturday day deadline in order to ensure that you receive full credit, which will be 10 points for each week. I will be leaving a comment on each blog I read to indicate to you that I have read your blog.

On a final note, these blogs are intended to be fun and to allow you to display your creativity. Be adventurous and express yourselves! Although we may occasionally use some of your blog entries for grammar practice, these blogs are primarily focused on content. Nonetheless, aim at your very best for grammatical accuracy. Above all, though, have fun!!

Topic #1: Your Birthday

When are your birthdays?  In my case, my birthday is in May, which is largely the reason why I was named "May."  Up until some years ago, I anxiously used to wait for my birthday because it was nice to have my "special day."  It was with anticipation that I waited to see what was going to happen to me on that day.  When I write "happen to me," I  mean what type of events loved ones would prepare for me.  Although I still feel like a 21-year-old in heart, the reality is that I am slightly (and only slightly!) older than that.  Therefore, I no longer anxiously wait for that day. 


When it is my birthday, it is just another day but perhaps a little bit more.  I will be honest in that I do have a little expectation from certain people in my life such as my husband (poor husband).  Haha~!  If it passes quietly, I know that I will feel sad.

How about you?  How do you feel when it is your birthday?  Has your outlook on birthdays changed as you have gotten older?  Do you have any special plans for your next birthday?
