Only one blog for today and yesterday- yesterday we went to London and went to both Tates (the big epic art museums- there is a modern one and an old timey one). I got to see the work of one of my favorite artists ever, William Blake (he was also a nudist, philosopher, a priest of his own religion, and poet... weird guy). I sketched a bunch in the art museum... I also got some "homework" from my mom- it was a list of artists to research for the Paris art museums- I took 3 pages of notes on them, and discovered a really cool artist with a very off name: Odelon Radon. He is very cool and ahead of his time- you should look at some of his stuff. I am also hoping that the research might help me out in art history class. We also went to our favorite Market, which is called Borough market. I got an ostrich burger, which was a mistake- It was basically just dry, stringy beef (which I don't like anyway).I also did a tour of the Globe Theater in London- during which I say a bit of a play rehearsal; it was so awesome that we are going to see the actual play tomorrow.
Today We took a two hour trip to Wales to the city of Cardiff, where we went to the Doctor Who experience- which was super fun; I got to see all the costumes and props, and there was a fun interactive part kind of like a haunted house. We also went to this amazing castle in Cardiff that was kind of overgrown and cool- you would have liked it. Lastly, I started my first big piece for AP art a few minutes ago- I have decided to do the Quote, the abstraction, the interior and the landscape (which I am doing in England).
Hope you are having fun camping- tell me all about it when you get back
I miss you Geena
