Our book is organised according to the country where the dance is currently performed, and in this case, it happens to be Israel.

I still like it.

There is Hasidic music and dancing (east European folk music) – better learnt and practiced in NYC, some age old communist-Zionist thing (Slavic in origin), and the western and oriental scenes, but nothing indigenous to Israel.

I wasn’t very good. Since the age of 13 I always quote Mr. H.J. Potter with the famous: “I don’t dance”.

Of course it is monochromatic. Let’s say the color is red. :) In art, when one is mixing paint to make a monochromatic piece, one mixes the red with white to make tints (pinks), and with black to make shades (dark crimson reds). This seems obvious, but what most people don’t realise, then, is that the lightest tint of any givemn color is white, and the darkest shade is black. Therefore, a color scheme with reds, pinks, and white is a monchromatic scheme.

OK. That’s the art lesson of the day. ;)

This exercise was just learning how to wrap cut flowers, and picking the colors & such that would make a good arrangement (mine is pinks, reds, and whites, which, strangely, is actually a monochromatic color scheme). Next week, though, we’re doing bud vases and gift baskets, and we’re supposed to bring 3 or four themed items for our baskets. I’m planning on doing Harry Potter, of course. :) I definitely try and score some pics.

I know Wolf probably doesn’t dance, but I thought it would be a fun mental image for us all. :)
