Famous Last Words: Stomach bug & Riddles

| Stomach Bug stomach-bugs |
This was a very hectic week. Sketchbook check in art therapy class for 63 sketches for the semester. Needless to say, I was a little beyond and played catch up, but did get them all complete. Goal: stay on top of sketches for the rest of the semester. I did complete the head project and wrote the artist notes for my studio project which is due after Spring break. I am looking forward to the week off and intend on getting ahead in this class as well as beginning my book for my final presentation in Capstone class. It is hard to believe the semester is winding down.
This week in this class, I finished the Native American unit. I absolutely loved all the origin stories. They are my absolute FAVORITE! I also enjoy when animals are the main characters of the story. The focus on living in harmony with nature including flowers, animals, and weather was a common theme and very interesting to read.
I also started the Nursery Rhyme unit. I really anticipated rereading stories from my childhood, however I was shocked by how few of the nursery rhymes I felt any level of familiarity. I also was struck by how violent the content was. My favorite section, thus far, has been the riddles. Oftentimes on trips, my family will embark on riddle challenges, although I found some new material in this unit, many of the references were obviously very dated and referenced people and items that were unfamiliar. They were still fun to read and guess the answer.
Lastly, althoughtI have avoided the flu; I did subcomb to the 36 hour stomach bug beginning Tuesday night. Not fun! Luckly, I was able to drag myself to class, just didn’t have a lot of stamina and was greenish enough that two of my professors sent me home. After rest and fluids, I am much better and ready for Spring break.
Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like such a crazy week! 63 sketches is insane! I don't think I've ever had a professor send a student home because they looked sick. Maybe that's because most of my classes have a ton of people in lecture. I think it's pretty cool that your family likes riddles. I think riddles would be fun to try and solve together when on a family trip. I really hope that Spring Break was the chance to get the rest you needed!
