We're heading back to China in a few days, so I thought I'd post about this film from the comfort of the den of my family home in Philadelphia. Here's a film that just looks perfect for an HS art class that is looking at the socio-political nature of contemporary art. I can't remember ever seeing a trailer this compelling about an art documentary before. School Warning: Language It will probably be a good year until I'm actually able to watch this!

0 Sharkdog in Shanghai and a Watercolor Exhibition

My parents are in town visiting my daughter our family this month, and last weekend we took a little trip out to Zhu Jia Jiao, a small water town just outside of Shanghai. Water towns are small villages based around a canal, or series of canals, and being quite scenic, they're popular with tourists.

We found that the small museum in the town was hosting their 'watercolor biennial', and we were shocked to see some huge names in Chinese art represented, as well as an amazing variety of water colors from around the world. Here you can see some of the work, including some details. Unfortunately, some of the work was behind glass and I couldn't get the best pictures, but there is just some amazing stuff here:
