The Dance
One of the art assignments for this week is making a collage from magazine pictures. Not really my thing to be honest. I would much rather be painting or drawing than cutting. While looking through some old magazine pictures I came across this bird. I think he's gorgeous. He looks to me to be performing some beautiful ballet. I would love to know what music he is hearing while he dances. I thought maybe Stravinsky or Chopin's, Valse Brilliante. What do you think?

Can we get on making each othe mix CD's.

I would love to hear your version of bird dance.

Hey there Mathew, aren't you supposed to be working on Abstract!! Now this is terribly embarassing but I do not know how to send music the way you send me music so I need some lessons. I seriously have to learn how to do this. No doubt my students could teach me.

What a magnificent picture! I see the bird dancing to Radiohead's Street Spirit (Fade Out), but you probably knew I was going to say something like that.

Whatever music he is listening to it feels like its giving off a strong floating vibe - perhaps some Final Fantasy.

Tchaichovsky's swan lake?

Toccata said...

Barbara, I purposefully left off Radiohead just for you.

Allison, I'm expecting to see the bird swoop and and pirouette with the joy of being out in the sun.

Gifted Typist, good one. I think that bird would look right at home on stage along with all the other ballerinas.

Amazing! :]

Great....it tells a story, doesn't it?

Yes, I think your music definitely fits.

But somehow I can also imagine James Brown's "I Feel Good"?!!

Dogga, unfortunately I had to get my cool shot from a magazine unlike you and your shots you got yourself.

Deb, brilliant. I can definitely see that. Of course I now have that song rattling around in my head!! Not a bad way to start the day.
