Wakey wakey. <\/p>\n

I know, I know, but get up anyway – if it’s true love, your bed will wait for you. <\/p>\n

So: no Class Meeting today – but all the other usual things will happen anyway, including Team 6-Square’s 1:00 Wagamese discussion.<\/p>\n

Today’s Index Card Drawing will take a little longer than usual – it’s a copying drawing; I’d like you to invest in it.  It also involves some choices – you get to Choose Your Own Adventure – so please make sure you read these instructions slowly, purposefully, and carefully<\/em>.  Try to do each step in order.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Joni considers herself more of a painter than a musician – which is saying something.  She uses each of these disciplines to feed the other, in the same way that farmers let certain fields go fallow for a year in order to increase the nutrients in the soil for the years to come:<\/p>\n

“Anytime I make a record, it’s followed by a painting period. It’s a good crop rotation. I keep the creative juices going by switching from one to the other, so that when the music or the writing dries up, I paint.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, you’re going to copy one of Joni’s paintings – you get to choose which one, and you get to choose what kind of music you’re in the mood for.<\/span><\/p>\n
