On Sunday we went to city park because the weather has been so nice the last few days but decided while we were there to check out the Disney exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Art. It has been here for months and is leaving next week so now was the time. The exhibit is part of their promotion of the new movie The Princess and the Frog. There was beautiful art and animation cells along with clips from the different movies showing the animation process. We weren't allowed to take pictures in the exhibit and were a little disappointed actually. We know the the movie in the end was about a princess but over the years Disney has made plenty of "boy" movies, Cars, Robin Hood, Jungle Book, Sword in the Stone or even Finding Nemo but not one of these movies was included in the exhibit. It was all the princess' and I love the princess' as much as the next girl but Chance watches all those other movies so it was full of characters he knew nothing about. I know the princess' sell but most animators were and still are boys so I don't really see the win in leaving out all those movies. Anyway after the Disney area we walked around the rest of the museum where we found Quintron. Quintron is a musician who is spending 8 hours a day 5 days per week recording an album as an exhibit in the museum. He picked all the paintings that surround him for inspiration and is actually recording as you walk around and watch him. You can see him in the picture below. Quintron is also the inventor of the Drum Buddy which after seeing them work and playing with one both Scott and I really want one. They use light and lots of other internal stuff that I didn't have the time to read all the signs and find out to make drum beats. The first two pictures are Scott and Chance playing with a Drum Buddy.
This was a lot of fun for our last day together this week, Scott is in Salt Lake City till Sunday.
