    Wonderful class. Your voice itself has a very calm green tone. Something I thought of while taking your class: As someone who works with students from around the world, I have come across a superstition from Chinese students about black and white photo's. They found it to be a bad omen to have a black and white photo of themselves. Something I had never heard of, but just one of those many cultures differences that make us all so unique!!

    Hi Missy, Thanks so much for your comments. That's very heartening to hear that my voice is calming. I think that has helped me since I teach so many students new to software and computers. :-) Interesting to hear about the Chinese superstition. I was just teaching animation in Ethiopia in December and the students told me that yellow had a special happy significance there because of the flowers that bloom in the spring. They did not want to hear any negative association with yellow. Best, K
