The Chic Assignment | February 2021

 

Welcome to the first Chic Assignment of 2021. I look forward to restarting this series and exploring some amazing artists this year.

Chic Assignment no. 1 Rachmaninoff Prelude in C Sharp Minor (Op. 3 No. 2) 

I have always been intimidated by Rachmaninoff. As a (very very amateur) pianist, I looked at my great grandmother's Rachmaninoff pieces and couldn't even fathom playing them. Even though they might be unattainable to the amateur musician, we can still enjoy his works. This month we are diving into this performance of Prelude in c sharp minor (Op. 3 no. 2) performed by Rousseau. We will dive into the biography of Rachmaninoff in the mid-month check-in. 

Chic Assignment no. 2 Explore the art of William H. Johnson (1901-1970)

William H. Johnson was an American artist Born in South Carolina in 1901, he was a student of the National Academy of Design in New York City. His incredible career spanned several decades, but his works are only now getting the recognition that they deserve. I'm excited to learn more about William H. Johnson this month. Check out his artwork on WikiArt. 

Self-Portrait, 1929

Chalet in the Mountains, 1938

Folk Family, 1944

Chic Assignment no. 3 Work on building one new good habit this month. We are going to talk about habits and their importance throughout the month of February on the blog. A book that I highly recommend is Atomic Habits by James Clear. 

Chic Assignment no. 4 Maintain your clutter-free space. If you took part in Clutter-free January with us, you likely have some newly decluttered spaces. We are going to maintain those spaces throughout the month of February, taking care to keep them clutter-free. 

Thank you for joining us for The Chic Assignment this month. Tag me with #TheChicAssignment on social media and invite a friend to join in. I look forward to a wonderful year of arts and culture.
