Miro, A Just Man
Miro was goodness, a just man in all things. He did not speak much but was very couteous. I never saw him with a camera or a ballpoint pen, but he would sometimes spend an hour contemplating the landscape. He and I were alone. I prudently kept my distance. He liked places that were difficult to get to, with a good view.

[Francesco Sole, Miro´s chauffeur during 25 years. Interview at ABC, in Spain, 1983.]

Right then....

I am in Dubai talking about you lot and what bizarre stuff you make.

So that means:

Year 12 get on with your Workbooks. A bit of printing is OK, but wait until I get back if you are in any doubt!

Year 13 - I haven't updated the clock of doom so it is 3 hours slow.

Make sure you are ready for Barcelona

If you are worried about me here is a link to the Dubai weather:

Year 12 should have completed 12 sides of research specifically on Miro, Gaudi & Picasso by the end of the half term break. ( as part of their minimum 80 sides to be allowed on the trip). Year 13s should have completed at least 6 sides of research on the artists prior to the trip.
