This past week we had a critique where we made comments about each others work without saying anything subjective and without the artist saying anything. It was an interesting approach to the critique and I liked it because it seemed more realistic to me (because the artist isn't there at the gallery to explain his/her work...). I am trying to decide what the next step will be for my work. I have been looking for more spirals, especially ones that I can purchase to use to make work. So far I have purchased a box of spiral pasta and I am looking for spiral lollypops. I am also going to try to make a spiral to use for reference so my work will be more realistic.

I really enjoyed our Chianti trip on Friday. I love the Tuscan countryside! On Saturday some of us went to Ferrara to see a show called "Il Simbolismo" at the Palazzo dei Diamanti. It had work by Klimt, Gauguin, Moreau, and Redon to name a few. It was really wondeful to see some modern art. I really miss that when I am in Florence.
