Brings Back Memories

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: Prodana Nevesta: Ouverture--Wiener Philharmoniker (Smetana: Moldau / Vysehrad) *also known as the music you hear building up to where the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote freeze and are introduced on the screen*

When Steve and I went to the museum last weekend I realized, "Man, I don't know as much about art as I would want to."

Then I remembered that there was this cool art CD that Futurekids used to use as part of the curriculum. If you're reading this and you worked with me at Futurekids, this'll bring back memories :-):


Microsoft Art Gallery!

I enjoyed MS Art Gallery because there were some really interesting art lessons in there like perspective and composition and such.


It doesn't overwhelm you with information, but gives you just enough that you learn to appreciate the paintings when you see them.

This is a *really* old CD. They don't even sell it anymore. I had to do some digging to find one that was for sale. When I got it, I near busted my sides laughing as soon as I read the first step of the installation instructions :-)...
Turn on your computer and CD-ROM drive, and then start Windows (usually by typing win at the command prompt)
I was like, "Oh my GAWD!"

And for it to run properly, it needed at LEAST a 386SX or higher, with 4 MB of RAM, VGA and a 256 color display. It also needed [gasp] a whole 1 MB of available hard disk space!

Ah, those were the days :-).
