LAST NIGHT I WENT TO A SPECIAL PRESENTATION THAT WAS AT ART QUEST ADJACENT TO SANTA ROSA HIGH SCHOOL. IT IS A PROGRAM THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS NEED TO APPLY TO. THEY HAD A NEAT VIDEO EXPLAINING WHO THESE YOUNG ADULTS ARE AND THE VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT THEY PARTICIPATE IN. I VISITED MOST OF THE PROGRAMS AND THEY HAD. EACH MODULE OR ROOM HAD THE TEACHER THERE TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS DID THIS YEAR. AFTER THE MAIN VIDEO THERE WAS A MUSICAL PRELUDE WITH ABOUT 20 SINGERS DRESSED IN JEANS AND TEE SHIRTS. THESE FOLKS WERE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SHARING THEIR TALENTS AND SINGING UNIQUE PITCHES TO THE SAME CONTEMPORARY SONG. NEXT THEY HAD ABOUT 20 KIDS SHOW THEIR UNIQUE FASHIONS AS THEY MODELED SOME SPECIAL COSTUMES. THERE WERE MANY PARENTS AND OTHER KIDS WHO WERE NOT IN ART QUEST. IT GAVE THEM SOMETHING TO DO.
THE FIRST PRESENTATION I ATTENDED WAS THE DANCE GROUP WHO WERE VERY LIMBER. THEY WERE DRESSED IN BLACK AND WHITE. THERE ARE MANY MORE GIRLS IN ART QUEST THAN BOYS FOR SOME REASON. THE DANCERS WERE A GREAT GROUP TO WATCH AS THEY DANCED SHORT DANCES TO VARIOUS THEMES. IT WAS SO HOT THERE THAT I HAD TO LEAVE.
I WENT TO THE THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES THAT WERE 7 MINUTES SKETCHES FROM SHAKESPEARE. SEVERAL OF THE ACTORS WERE VERY DRAMATIC. I ALSO WENT TO THE PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT ROOM AND ONE YOUNG LADY EXPRESSED THAT SHE MADE SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND A JOURNAL THAT EXPLAINED WHY SHE WAS FOCUSING ON THE TIN MAN IN THE WIZARD OF OZ. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE PHOTOS AS THEY WERE JUST OK OF VARIOUS FACES.
NEXT PLACE I VISITED WAS THE VISUAL FINE ARTS. THIS YOUNG TEACHER SHOWED US VARIOUS PHOTOS FROM A MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR OF HER STUDENT'S ART. MOST OF IT WAS ABOUT MAKING PURSES OF VARIOUS MATERIALS. THEY ALSO TOOK ON ADDING ALL KINDS OF METAL AND GADGETS AS WELL AS PAINTING AN OLD CAR TO LOOK ARTSY. I HAVE SEEN BETTER ONES IN THE FAIRGROUNDS. IT WAS FUN TO JOIN THIS CROWD AND MEET SOME OF THE TEACHERS AND THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS.
