Projet japonais et le Musée Bowers

Bonjour People!!!
Very recently, we took a trip to the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. It was a very exciting trip; we saw many Chinese artifacts and did a very interesting art project afterwards. The artifacts were made of ivory, wood, jade, and porcelain, in China. There was a giant harry-potter-like-but-smaller chessboard and chess set made from polished wood and ivory. There were jade water bowls and porcelain jars. There were wooden and pottery statues from the Han Dynasty. All of these artifacts were beautiful and helped us understand the beauty of China. When we came back to Whitney, Mr. G was inspired by out trip to make out very own presentations and "museum."

My group did our project on Japanese Mythology. Since we chose such a broad topic, we decided to hone in on one creature/spirit, one myth, and the family tree of the gods. We chose the Tengu, the creation myth, and the main gods respectively. The people in my group did a lot of work. Sorta. They reasearched, collaborated and put a lot of effort into this. Kinda.
On to the project of out presentation. I honestly do not remember a single thing about the audience. I was focused on trying not to cough through the whole thing. (I have a bad cold) If we do this another time, I would probably spend more time on it and not procrastinate as much. All in all, this was a very valuble and fun experience.

Au revoir,
Smruthi
