Chinese Terra-cotta Warriors at the VMFA....

I went to see the Terre cotta warriors at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia. 

It was really amazing!!! They are big but a little smaller than I thought they would be. They were also not red, which I always thought they would be. But they are really amazing and a well worth seeing in person.

The VAEA Youth Art Month committee meeting at the VMFA cafeteria to judge the 2018 YAM flag entries. There was so much great art work it really  made our job hard! 

Amazing sculpture on the grounds at the VMFA

Trip to Washington D.C. and the National Gallery...

Hubby took me to see our nations Capital, the Calder exhibit, and a Sam Elliot movie...

the Washington Monument and the Mall...

and the National Gallery.

An Alexander Calder sculpture hanging in the East building of the National Gallery designed by

I. M. Pei which opened June 1st, 1978. 

Calder Exhibit

The Giant Blue chicken on the patio just outside the Calder exhibit by 

Katharina Fritsch.

I love oversized random sculptures!

After the museum we went to see the Sam Elliot movie at a movie festival 

that was playing at the E-Street theater. It was only showing in LA, NYC and DC.

I had never been to a movie festival or to a movie that was only showing in "select" theaters!

It was fun and the movie was great. I love me some Sam Elliot! 

We rode the METRO train in to the city...I know that sounds like a really common thing to do

but it is way outside my comfort zone but something I really wanted to try. 

And I loved it. Not sure I can figure out how and where it runs or even how to pay on my own

but it was still fun!
