They both worked to be teachers. They both wanted to have a classroom filled with scared, dependent children whose eyes and ears they would open. “We hold the keys to the future,” their T-shirts said. They were taking all classes together. One of them was “ART 57937: Methods of Teaching Art to Elementary School Children in a Rural Environment and Surroundings in a Different Part of the World as Scheduled by the Principal in Accordance with Classroom Availability.” They called this class, “M O T A T E S C I A R E S I D P O T W A S B T P I A W C A.” In this class, everything was precise. One project dealt with integration. They made the clay instruments of animal shapes based on ancient secret knowledge. Ancient secrets were fascinating. Matter is just a neatly packaged repository of energy, Einstein once said. It was fun, as well as challenging, to play these visual instruments.
Ocarina
The Ocarina is considered the oldest flute in the World. It was found in archeological sites in Asia, Africa and North and South America. Ocarina is used in North and South America. They are made in Peru and Chile. The craftsmanship matches the sound and the instrument is often used to accompany other instruments.
