After having worked for some days in the University we were rewarded with a trip to DC and a guided tour in Capitol Buiding and it’s Library. I give you my very personal (art teacher’s view) about the tour. Sorry about the quality of photos; my iphone was set on low quality etcetc, explanations : )
Let’s start from this special kind of sculpture:
And as you can see, we are paying attention. Maija took the photo below, but as the light was difficult, the creature in the middle is kind of dark:
See, how the eyeglasses are shown in this scuplture. Do you consider them well made?
But why is the angel blowing his horn on that one head? And the one above doesn’t even notice. (Must be a teacher)
Anyway. there were so many beautiful rooms, walls, floors, pieces of art, art…
And sentences: THE FIRST CREATURE OF GOD WAS THE LIGHT OF SENSE: THE LAST WAS THE LIGHT OF REASON.
In the end, the day was full of meaningful pictures and sentences. Again I thank the Fulbright staff and Washington DC for this experience!
Five of us went to Chinatown for lunch:
And again came the sentences; Chinese horoscope as well as the fortune cookies: The time is right to make new friends. 🙂
