We note Fine Art Friday in our home by watching Sister Wendy
.
I discovered the Watch Instantly tab on Netflix a couple of months ago. You get to watch the same number of hours that you spend in dollars per month. We are happy with the basement package of $4.99, which translates to five hours of free instant watching on the computer. I can watch some movies which hold no interest for the other occupants of this household. We had to download Internet Explorer 6 to use this feature – Firefox didn’t work.
Back to Sister Wendy. On Fridays we watch one ten-minute segment of her Grand Tour.
It is a nice length: she’s a dear, but one could easily get too much at one sitting.
Like the daily poetry, my goal is regular exposure to the true, the beautiful and the good.
Oh, I like Sister Wendy and I would buy her book over this 1001 Paintings You Should See Before You Die (newbie that Multivitamin keeps mentioning). I like an artbook to be oversized or at least 9 x 12″ and the later is more like a dictionary and very thick. FWIW
Thanks for the Netflix tip. I’m not a member (yet) because I didnt really think I would follow through, as it’s DH who manages the home entertainment in the family. That is, unless I rent something YOU have mentioned.
Watching Sister Wendy helped Emma fall in love with art.
I thought she was funny (odd) and she liked to nudes way too much for a nun :o)
What a great idea. Sister Wendy is pure fun (but yeah, too much at one sitting might not work for many). Glad to find your blog today!
