Greetings from the couch! BAROQUE study info:

Hi folks. I'm typing this in the cloudy mist of the humidifier pointed directly at my face at the moment, so it seems like a dream! Bronchitis is certainly NOT enjoyable when A- you can't take most medications, and B- your stupid immune system isn't strong (pregnancy side-effect). The baby doesn't seem to care though, he/she is still pacing back and forth all day (plotting his/her escape no doubt).

If you need to contact Mrs. Valenzuela via e-mail, here is her address. She would probably be the best person to send questions/comments to right now since I've missed so much school and hardly remember what your faces look like.

IN BAROQUE NEWS, I just want to give you some guidance on what to expect Friday:
- 7 multiple choice about a notable painting
- 1 ten-minute essay about a notable work of architecture (hint- It's Italian. Know what makes Baroque look like Baroque).
- 8 multiple choice questions about a notable sculpture (you'll get two views of it...you saw many images of it in the PowerPoint)
- 8 multiple choice about two notable paintings
- 1 ten-minute essay about a notable painting (you'll need to know the artist for this one.....hint- he produced a very small body of work during his lifetime, but you have seen multiple images of his paintings in the PowerPoint)

After Baroque, we have four more chapters to cover and then we will cross the finish line! Baroque was big, so good job getting through it. We have some cool and crazy stuff in store for you, like this:

Tea anyone?
