ART APPRECIATION 101

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is known around the world for housing great works on canvas. However, any native Philadelphian will tell you that is not the only place where you can find such treasures. Philly is also well-known for its spectacular mural art displays in various neighborhoods all over the city. A mural is any piece of artwork on a wall, ceiling, or other large permanent surface. The one featured below is an example and simply called, “A Celebration of Community”. © 1997 PDR Mural Arts Program & West Philadelphia Enterprise Center; Artist: Jane Degenhardt-Kutzer; Sponsors: Hunt Manufacturing Company, Neighborhood Development Project, Allegro Pizza, White Dog Café; Dedicated to: John Washington.

NAME GAME TRIVIA

The name Keith \ke(i)-th\ is pronounced keeth. It is of Scottish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "woodland, forest". It is the family name of hereditary earls marshals of Scotland from the 11th century. If this is your name, you have a very aggressive and independent spirit. You have a versatile, restless nature, and could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks. You are seldom satisfied and are always seeking something new. However, you do not know the meaning of relaxation, for when supposedly resting, your mind is forever active, worrying, planning, or seeking new ways to improve your present situation. You could organize the work of others, though in your impatience to see the job done efficiently, you would likely step right in and do it yourself.
