Yes, let's take a walk down that country road


Paul Cezanne - Houses along a Road

JAMES TAYLOR - COUNTRY ROAD

"Country Road"


Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same.
Mamma don't understand it, she wants to know where I've been.
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again,
But I could feel it on a country road.

Sail on home to Jesus, won't you good girls and boys.
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice.
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels and they're coming to set me free.
I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when but I can tell that it's bound to be,
because I could feel it, child, yeah, on a country road.

I guess my feet know where they want me to go walking on a country road.

Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down, walk on down a country road.
Na na na na na na na na na na na, country road, yeah, walking on a country road...

Want To Tip Your Toes In The Water? Bet Cezanne Did

Paul Cezanne, The Bay of Marseilles, Seen from L'Estaque, c. 1885

Loving the summer blue of the sky and water. Would you like to take a walk down the hill to the water? Let's go, I can hear the music from the cafe, we can get a croissant and 'Je voudrais un cafe au lait s'il vous plait.'

Reflets dans l'eau - Reflections in the Water--Cezanne and Debussy

  
Reflections in the Water - Paul Cezanne

Autumn light--dancing, golden, glowing; Cezanne pictures it and Debussy reveals what light sounds like reflecting on the water.

Visiting Vincent in L A (Van Gogh, That Is)

 
Cypress, Van Gogh


Teacher fun! April and Melanie at LACMA.
What do Special Education teachers do for fun in the summer? Go to Art Museums! At least that's what my teacher friend April and I did this week. We taught together at an elementary school, I did RSP, she did SDC; and we also share a background in the Fine Arts.

Here we are--no turning back.

Van Gogh was our big draw. I can't explain how his paintings are like meeting a person, but they are. A sensitive, positive person who is happy to see you. 

The exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art pulled together artists contemporary with Van Gogh as well as artists in the Expressionist movement, especially in Germany, who were inspired by Van Gogh.
Woman and Two Children, Gauguin


The exhibition included paintings by Van Gogh's buddy Gauguin. Here's one where everyone is wearing clothes.
Still life by Cezanne

This is a very famous painting by Cezanne. I always expect the fruit to roll off the table.



Studio Interior, Matisse





Apparently Matisse loved his studio, and here is its' painted portrait.


Improvisation #28, Kandinsky











There was Kandinsky, Kirchner, Leger, Franz, many more. Almost too much to absorb, like museums often are.

The Street, Kirchner




 

There were so many families with children of all ages at the museum, very cool on a warm Los Angeles day.

 


And what is most fun for Special Education teachers in the midst of world famous art? Why, play with kids at the hanging plastic spaghetti structure, of course.

It is a privilege to view art that I've just previously seen in text books or online. There are local galleries, presentations, and folk art everywhere for us to enjoy. 

Although, Van Gogh is my favorite, I also really enjoyed this painting by Marc Franz.

The Stables, Marc Franz

Hope (հույս) Is a Verb with Its Sleeves Rolled Up

'The Forest,' Paul Cezanne

Hope must be green because it grows. Hope must be harmonious, joyful, persistent. Hope is victorious, full of glory. Հույս կա մի բայ իր sleeves ուղղում Up

Like this music by Vivaldi, written with a spiritual purpose.  Gloria, Performed by
NATIONAL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA OF ARMENIA
Art director V. Martirosyan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMHguvZPcqQ&feature=related

With the last century's history in mind, I would say Armenians are full of hope.

This is for Amy and her family.
