This week in class we did several things. We started off Monday by going to the art museum. At the art museum we discovered many things. One of the first things our tour guide discussed with us was Oceana and Africa made artwork. The African art that was shown to us was creative, ancient, and spirtitual. There was a lot of African masks at the museum. We looked and discussed thoroughly this one 3-D helmet mask. Our tour guide told us to walk in a circle so we could see the whole helmet mask together. This helmet mask had 4 balls on his head. We then looked at an 8 person painting. When our tour guide first showed us the 8 person painting I didn't know what to expect. I asked myself several questions about the painting. The first thing out tour guide did when we looked at the 8 person paiting, was she asked for 8 volunteers. As a volunteer, I was assigned to pose in a position exactly as someone was posing in the painting. The other 7 people did the same thing as me. We then looked at a painting that was divided into 2 sections. The first section was red and it displayed someone going up in the painting. The section section was blue and someone was going into a downward spiral. On Wednesday, I was the class observer. 2 girls did a presentation for Beah, and gave us an option of choosing one of the 2 questions. After the questions we sat in a circle and discussed the 2 question more throughly.
