Good Day, Mr. Gauguin by Michael Pierre5/21/2023 ![]() Since the series' sometimes contrived fictional device works better with a single artist's life than with movements or schools of art, Gauguin is more effective than the other titles. Their explanations and the choice of reproductions are excellent, but the book is complex and requires some background knowledge. ![]() His knowledgeable parents offer hints and information on the development of perspective by showing him intriguing examples of its use. ![]() Renaissance attempts to introduce the period by following a boy named Raphael as he researches paintings by his namesake and other great artists. The analysis of the paintings is well done and the reproductions are well chosen, but the names of French artists, locations, and schools of painting crowd the pages and are not likely to be familiar to the targeted age group. He roams through the history of the Impressionist movement, explaining the steps in its development. ![]() School Library JournalGr 5-9In Impressionists, the narrator is a boy who was touched by fairies in his cradle and given a great understanding of French art. ![]()

Fuzz roach5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Wait! What? (there is link to the study in EXTRA STUFF, of course) But again it was nogo accompanying the officers into the field. I paid a visit to a woman at the National Wildlife Service forensics lab who had authored a paper on how to detect counterfeit “medicinal” tiger penises. She even had a grand theft avocado story lined up, but the local Smokeys would not let her come along, which was a requisite. Roach tells Goodreads, in a book-recommendation piece, that she came across a potential story about cattle breeders staging deaths to commit insurance fraud. ![]() ![]() She begins with a notion, then goes exploring. ![]() A science writer now publishing her seventh book, Roach has written for many publications, including National Geographic, Wired, NY Times Magazine, and many more. Last night I stepped onto the elevator as a man was saying, “Ever tase an elk?” “So she looks in her rearview mirror,” one is saying, and there’s a bear in the back seat earing popcorn.” When wildlife officers gather at a conference, the shop talk is outstanding. Their leather hiking boots squeak as they walk. …I…follow along behind a small group of conservation officers heading to the lawn outside. ![]()

How to do the work by nicole lepera5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() An impaired relationship between these elements can alter our life quality and create this feeling of unwellness. However, it does depend on our mind-body-spirit connection. It doesn’t depend on our success, both in our personal or financial lives. So what is it? Many people go through these symptoms throughout their lives. Moreover, the doctor’s check-up reveals nothing out of the ordinary, and over-the-counter medication does nothing to help us. ![]() The simplest things can make us cry or get angry and frustrated. We start feeling anxious, burnt out, and in a general state of indisposition. Oftentimes we feel unwell for no apparent reason.

The pop up dear zoo5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() (I also tried a different way of doing this - gluing the ribbon down on a base color, and then layering the felt over it. So I wound up gluing a backing piece of felt over the ribbon, which will probably preserve the flannel for longer anyways. The ribbon kept popping up, unless I held the piece down for a couple of minutes - which was difficult to do on desk. So while making this flannel, I experimented with ribbon, sewing, and paint pens.įor the ribbon, I just cut for the length of the piece to make a box stripe and overlapped the ribbon onto the back, gluing it down. Since I’ve been making flannelboards for about a year now, I’ve been looking for ways to up my ante, for lack of a better term. I was immediately sold on making this one! It was a super cute template, so I inter-library loaned the book to see the story. I know that this book has been around since I was a kid, but I had never seen it until I found the flannel template for it. From KizClub direct link for the “Dear Zoo” flannelboard. ![]() |
