众位姐姐，
带着众位姐姐的美好祝福，我们已经安全到达目的地。谢谢大家为我们饯行，非常感激。 很荣幸和大家相处了2年多，祝大家越跳越年轻，越跳越美丽。
下面是文安说过的那位全美国人民都知道的正在和pancreatic cancer作顽强斗争的Carnegie Mellon University 教授的“the last lecture" 链接。

强烈推荐两个video,一个是The "Last Lecture", given at Carnegie Mellon University (76 minutes)，另一个是Diane Sawyer of ABC (and her incredible producer, Geoff Martz) did an hour special, which was way too flattering.
Enjoy!

A Great Reading Season!
Thanks Xiaoying for "pushing" us to dig further into the Vermeer story and fantasy. I watched the movie first, but thought the book was quite more chewy, thanks to all the symbolism you help us discover. Discovering a painter is like discovering a world to me. I feel a lot richer now that we know something about Vermeer.
Last night's book discussion served as a great wrap up to the first reading season. Thanks for all your stories about art and artists. The deeper we dig, the purer the water gets!

第四星期作业 -- 艺术作品与你
第四星期：四月30--五月7日《艺术作品与你: final representation about 5 minutes long, May, 7th》
Can you give a brief description of a personal encounter with pieces of art work? Please bring reproductions or printouts of the art work to show and tell.
这个作业的主要目的在于描述艺术作品对我们的影响。大家准备时要强调你在某地，某时对作品瞬间的感受。一幅或多副作品。在某个博物馆，art fair, 或者studio ... 发生的事。可以稍微介绍艺术家的背景。不可超过5分钟长。
Show and tell 是讨论的高潮。望大家暗地使劲，好戏留在后边唱。但仍不妨make posts, ask quetions online before the meeting.
