Laughter is the best medicine!

Question of the Day:
What makes you angry?  What can you do about it?  (B Block - what would your character say to this question?)   I get angry when people are mean and I usually say something about it.   I feel angry when I see homeless people sleeping on the street because I think we should be helping them.   During the pandemic, they found places for people to stay, so why can't those people have someplace to stay all the time?  I give to Covenant House in Vancouver, which is a charity that helps homeless youth and I give to the Kettle Friendship Society which helps homeless people in general.

Warm-up:
Drama 9/10, Theatre Production 11:  Prepare and practice a joke as your role play character.
(Look on the blog and remind yourself of your character's personality).
Art 8:  In your sketch book, make a picture that says, "I'm angry!"

Lesson:
Drama 9/10:  Practice one Shakespeare scene out loud -- know both parts.  Make it dramatic!
Theatre Production 11:  You should be getting close to finishing your theatre history project (due on June 17).  Plan what you will say when you present your project.
Art 8:  Lots of you haven't looked at the "Dismaland" videos that show an art installation organized by the mysterious British artist, Banksy.  You should take a look -- it is very strange and rather disturbing and provocative.  This is called an art installation.  (Other examples of art installations are:  "The Dining Room" by Judy Chicago, "The Weather Report" by Olafur Eliasson or "Sunflower Seeds" by Ai Wei Wei.)  What do you think that Banksy wanted to say with "Dismaland"?  It is clearly not the "happiest place on earth".  What is it then?  Do you know what "bemusement" means?  Why would Banksy use that word?

Your last assignment in Art 8 is to imagine an art installation (a three dimensional structure with which your viewer can interact) of your own.  You can make a 3d model of it, you can draw a detailed map or picture of it, or if you have room, you can actually construct it!  You need to give it a name and write about what you are trying to do (one paragraph).  This will be due on June 19.
