Geometric Flower Designs
'Geometric Flower Designs' is one of my color art pieces that I mainly used blues, reds, greens and broke up that color scheme with two versions of orange. I used black to offset around the edges of the picture and in the center. Please comment.

Paisley and Circle Designs
'Paisley and Circle Designs' is done in shades of blues and purples. I used crayons and colored pencils to try and blend the colors together. I am not sure I succeeded, but to me it looks pretty good. Please share any comment for it would truly be appreciated.

Flowers
This one I just entitled 'Flowers' and I posted it sideways for this is the way it seemed to fit better. I wanted a sense of change of seasons, so I colored the leaves green, orange, red and yellow. I used the tan crayon for the branches and robin's egg blue for what I thought were clouds and lightly shaded the white space with again the sky blue colored pencil. Please comment.

Birds
Another one of my color art pictures entitled 'Birds'. I used crayons of the primary colors of red, blue and yellow and a few I decided to make orange. I used brown of course for the branches, and made the all the leaves a shade of green to make it feel like summer. To finish the picture, I used the sky blue colored pencil and shaded in the white space. Please share your thoughts.

Whales
Here is what I call 'Color Art'. This one is entitled 'Whales' for obvious reasons. I used crayons and colored pencils on this one of shades of blues, yellows and oranges. I used a sky blue colored pencil for what could be the water, and I just shaded the sky blue all over everything to make it I hope like everything is underwater. Please comment.

Gypsy
"Gypsy" is still in previews. This "Gypsy" at the Majestic Theatre is one you will either love or not like. For me, dating back to 1989 when Tyne Daly starred as Rose and onto Bernadette Peters in 2003 and Patti LuPone in 2008, the musical has vacillated as far as likeability. I did not really like Ms. Daly as Rose, Peters was much better in the role and Patti LuPone is by far the best of the class. Whereas LuPone belted out the songs, where she owned the role, Audra McDonald more dained in he efforts. LuPone was more believable than the current star in that she was Mama Rose!

Am I the only one who cares about print media?
High school is a microcosm of the society at large. That's a horrific thought, I know, but I do believe that what we learn during our educational journey those four years is more than a "coming-of-age" young adult novel. It is a prelude to the "real world" as young adults practice and ready themselves for "adulting" or "real world" life. So what? What the heck does that have to do with critiquing newspapers or worrying about the future of print media? I know, sometimes my introductions seem off topic, but it's all connected, really.

Gladiator II: A Return to the Sands of the Colosseum!
In the distant yet somehow close year of 2000, Gladiator burst into cinemas like a storm, earning box office glory and a rain of Oscars while solidifying Russell Crowe’s career. Ridley Scott managed to enthrall audiences with the epic tale of Maximus Decimus Meridius. The film’s monumental success resurrected the peplum genre, leading to a cascade of sword-and-sandal films such as Troy, Alexander, 300, and King Arthur. Even video games weren’t left untouched, with Shadow of Rome and the now-iconic God of War taking up the gladiatorial torch.
