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 #3: Favorite Character

Do you enjoy watching movies or reading books?  If any of you are like me, you probably enjoy doing both.  I always enjoy watching the movie after reading the book.  In my case, I usually discover that the book is better. :) 


Think back to all of the movies and/or books you have watched or read.  Who is your favorite character?  Why do you like this character?


In my case, I have two that I really like.  The first is Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia.  I love his majestic nature.  He can be simultaneously gentle and fearsome.  He does not appear in the movie too often, but throughout the movie, you attain the sense that he is present and watching over.


Eliza Doolittle played by the all-too-famous Audrey Hepburn in the classic movie "My Fair Lady" is another character I really like.  I LOVE this movie from start to finish.  It was a musical movie based on the book Pygmalian written by George Bernard Shaw.  She is witty, funny, loving, and intelligent.  The obstacles she faces yet the happiness she exudes in spite of her impoverished state are qualities that deserve great respect. 


How about you?  Who is your favorite character?  Why?
