It would be fun to see you do a drawing where you push all those shadows into one value and lights into another. Always tough making those choices...Virginia Fhinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232436299404731218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-16570057526313401502020-03-27T21:46:40.616-04:002020-03-27T21:46:40.616-04:00Are you sure chirk is obsolete?

Or maybe you don't consider that the same word as chirk?<br /><br />Thank you for all your chirky but not-ignoring-our-troubles posts.

One suggestion is to diagram well known works or do some perspective demonstrations.scottThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033264210231543212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-66951151651099479142020-03-27T08:49:59.503-04:002020-03-27T08:49:59.503-04:00This was great fun to watch.

Don't know how I could have done it otherwise.<br /><br />Steve, Miss Chambers sounds like one of those teachers who lit the fire of enthusiasm in a lot of students.<br />I only had a year of Latin, in 7th grade, so thanks for overlooking my errors. It was just enough to realize how much Latin is woven through our language and thought. Reading up a bit on state mottos, I was surprised that there's one in Hawaiian, one it Italian, and one in Spanish (Colorado's "Oro y Plata"—gold and silver.)

Miss Chambers was about 4’ 10” , wore rimless glasses, had wavy white hair in a short bob, and was passionate about the gifts of Roman culture. She led summer trips to Italy, something I regret not doing. Did two more years of Latin at University of Michigan. No regrets about that.<br /><br />I learned a Roman style of lettering by copying letters off $1 and $5 bills.<br /><br />My life, too, is deeply home-centric so the new reality hasn’t rocked my world as it has some. Despite the familiarity of the way I’m using my time, there’s a new, unfamiliar uncertainty that hangs in the air.<br /><br />Was the Chalk Talk video flipped so the lettering would track, left to right? It turned you into a southpaw.
