Tree Painting
Tuesday, April 5, 2011, 06:00 PM
After breakfast at 7 am we went to the classroom for our 8:30 class. We had quite a bit of success yesterday. Today was not so successful. We tried painting a tree which was difficult. I learned a lot despite the frustration. I couldn't get the paint to flow, probably because the paper was dry. I had not gotten the technique of smooshing yet either. It was a frustrating day. We went for lunch and had some kind of pita bread with mushrooms inside as well some black beans, rice beef rollups. After lunch we got on a bus and had an island tour. We went to Fort Fredericka, watched a movie on the history then walked the grounds of the Fort. I loved the big live oaks draped with Spanish moss. We stopped at Christ church and got a little bit of history about the church from Jean, our coordinator. We got back after the 3 hour tour and rested a little before dinner. Went over to the dining hall and had stuffed flounder and veggies for dinner. We're eating very well. Desert was banana cream pie which was very good. In the evening at 7 pm we had a demonstration of watercolor pouring which involves pouring the colors on the paper, swirling and blowing them around, then finding out what it made. It was a full day.
