My Creative Websites

http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/index.asp

I'm not one for art museusms, but the Metropolitan Museum of Art is amazing! It was for my art class during practicum. I had always planned on going, but the class was the push I needed for me to actually do it. The different types of art they had were mind boggling. The one that was most interesting exhibit was the Egyptian exhibit. They had exhibits about mummification, the weapons they had, and even a temple. Everyone should go atleast once in their lifetime! This site shows most, if not all of exhibits offered.

There's nothing better than good music. I'm not into classical, but there are a lot of people out there that are. This website lists all of the classical music composers and there are links for each one. If you subscribe, you can hear their music. Not only can you get their tracks, but you can hear live music. There's also a discussion forum so fans of classical music can discuss whatever they want. It's a good site.

The good thing about this website that it gives you a basic introduction to pottery and ceramics. It lets you know what kind of tools to buy and where you can get a kiln and what the best type of one is. There's information about glazes and also a blog about pottery. The woman, Beth, about what a good potter should be like.

New York is one of the centers of the world that is known for its mix of cultures. One of the things about NYC is that its famous for the arts. The entertainment industry is comprised of poets, broadway, etc. This website talks about all the hot new shows going on broadway and the ones that have been on for years. Not only does this site talk about broadway but it also covers the theatrical part of what goes on in NYC.

There are so many different types of paintings and more than enough examples of each. This website talks about the different types of painting and where there are exhibitions of those types. It's interesting to look at paintings that were made a very long time ago and then looking at art from now. The difference is amazing because the point of views are also different.

I like your list -- especially the classical which I might join. But you shouldn't be posting sites on stuff you don't enjoy. There is enough out there that if you look a little harder you'll be sure to find something....
