-----
11 AM-12:30 PM DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY
Yesterday, full courtesy of PGTB/Paxton Green Time Bank(local volunteering in the community charity scheme); I had a FREE class at Dulwich Picture Gallery...where we drew/painted a few pictures.
1> Draw using the stems of plants(paints,palettes)
2> Printmaking(glass, rollers, paint)
...as usual, I did my 'own' thing; meaning, instead, of drawing what the rest of the class were doing...trees/flowers...I drew some heads, instead; based on the teachers head...I seem to have forgotten what here name was...will remember -as I wrote it down somewhere- and, update this text, later on.

8 PM NORWOOD PICTUREHOUSE CINEMA, FILM: SHANG CHI, AND, THE LEGEND OF 10 RINGS
During the morning, I had decided to sign in to my Picturehouse online a/c.; and, discovered I have 1 x FREE ticket available to go and watch a film. The film I choose was: SHANG CHI, AND, THE LEGEND OF 10 RINGS.
The movie was great...a mixture of Kung Fu/magic...employing the use of modern day cinema tech CGI graphic effects. Dragons/and, other creatures/-etc.
Generally speaking, though, I prefer it when my Kung Fu films are 'real' as opposed to imaginary; in this case, it was a mix of both.
The film quality was truly top notch...nothing to fault it; so, overall, a very enjoyable experience, indeed.
