Artistic Expression

Jules Bastien-Lepage

French Naturalist Artist who was born in 1848 and died in 1884. My most favorite painting of his is called "Joan of Arc." It is an artistic expression of an image with hidden images within it, look closely and you'll see a world of which Joan of Arc has come to life.

The Evolution of Dance

Although many may find this comical...dance is a true art form. From the beginning of dance to now we have flowed with the acceptable and introduced new movements that have broken barriers. So, please take a moment to watch Jud Laipply show us how dance has evolved through the years. This is a truly amazing art form!

Robert Munch

I'm sure we are all familiar with this author. You've probably read one of his stories in grade school or even found yourself reading one of his stories to your children. Robert Munch is a Canadian author who paints a picture that captivates the minds of his audience. I can remember a time when I was young thinking about what would happen if my mom stopped loving me and Robert Munch's story Love You Forever showed me that a mothers love is endless and ongoing.

Josh Groban

Josh Groban, is an incredible singer. He stands out with Andre Boceli and Luciano Pavoratti. With the sound he creates with his singing is simply beyond words. He is extremely captivating and can take you off to distant places; almost like living a dream. He has collaborated with many singers such as Angie Stone, Charlotte Church, and Celion Dion. I would highly recommend that everyone, regardless of your musical background, attend one of his concerts...they're just captivating!
