The Crystal Skull

I was at the museum yesterday and I saw a Crystal Skull there. I liked it very much because it is very difficult to make a skulpture like this. Here is some information about the skull which I took from the internet.
The crystal skull is probably European, 19th century AD. Large quartz crystal skulls have caused great interest since they began to be shown in public and private collections, during the second half of the nineteenth century. Some of them have been attributed to the work of ancient Aztec, Mixtec or even Maya stone workers in Mexico. Others are said to be examples of colonial Mexican art, for use in churches, perhaps as bases for crucifixes.Large quartz crystal skulls have generated great interest and fascination since they began to surface in public and private collections, during the second half of the nineteenth century.

So, that's all what I enjoyed at the museum, but I want to visit it another time to find and enjoy something more.

my other weekend

My weekend was very sad because everybody returned home. Just sad... and nothing else P.S. The best moment was when I was on STEALTH with my friend on the first seat!
I was in Bath and did nothing. It was very boring and I don't know what to say. I like STEALTH because it is the fasterst race in the Europe.

Ivan Shishkin

25 January 1832 – 20 March 1898
Shishkin was born in the town of Elabuga of Vyatka Governorate (today Republic of Tatarstan). He then studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture for 4 years, then attended the Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts from 1856 to 1860. He received the Imperial scholarship for his further studies in Europe. Five years later Shishkin became a member of the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg and was professor of painting from 1873 to 1898. For some time, Shishkin lived and worked in Switzerland and Germany on scholarship from the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts. He also took part in exhibitions at the Academy of Arts, the All Russian Exhibition in Moscow (1882), the Nizhniy Novgorod (1896), and the World Fairs (Paris, 1867 and 1878, and Vienna,1873. Ivan Shishkin owned a dacha in Vyra, south of St. Petersburg. There he painted some of his finest landscapes. His works are notable for poetic depiction of seasons in the woods, wild nature, animals and birds. He died in 1898, in St. Petersburg, Russia, while working on his new painting.

MY weekends

I enjoyed weekends very much, because there was a lot sport. I like excursion to the pxford street, but we didn't have enoug htimew to do shopping. We had just hour and half, then we went back and did nothing so I didn't like it. For short, it was good weekend and I like it.

Excursion2

The excursion was good at all, but I thig that it was also boring. We spent a lot of time walking across the streets and it was boring and sometimes interesting. The weather was wery good in spite of the usual english weather. It took us a lot of time to get to that place by bus, and the point of destonation was the same. Then we had a lunch. It was ok, but I ate everything at once and was hungry during the whole excursion. We had a crazy tour guide! She was old and she has always spoken about plague. But it was ok. Then we went to the ship and spend ther few hours. It was also interesting an a little bit boring. For short, we were absolutely exhausted by the end of the excursion, and, being tired, drove by bus back to Queenswood.

My WEEKends

Friday was as a ususal work day. We had a lot of lessons and the most exciting part of this day was dinner and lunch. Like on the other days of the week, we played TEKKEN during our free time. Then we went to the theartree. It was so so, because you didn't show our film! The other things were not very good, I think. Then we went to the bed. On Saturday we went shopping to the Cambridge. It was good, but I didn't have any money so I just walked around the streets. After that we had a disco, it was all right, but not very good. Sunday was good, inspite of that thing, that I didn't have any money and I didn't go to the Park. We had 3 activities and it was very good, because there wasn't a big crowd of people! I enjoyed playing football and everything else, so Sunday was my favorite weekend day.

Excursion

Yesterday we were at the Tower of London and it was raining so we aLL were very wet. I hope it won't be like that next time! We met guards and wanted to take a photo with them but they shouted "GET OUT!!!" and we went away.
