1. When I was in the second grade...

I remember we had an art class, a music class and an art appreciation class when the traveling art teacher was not scheduled to be there. I remember that sometimes the teacher would show us paintings and then play music that could be associated with that art, then we were asked to listen to music and draw/color what we imagined aided by the music. I was moved by Degas' paintings of the ballerinas, because I wanted to be one, and I drew/colored a likeness of one of those paintings. Never forgot that, I think of it every time I see a Degas painting.
