Feeling Christmassy yet? No, nor me…
Last leaf, last raindrop, last holiday of the year
Well, let Intute: Arts and Humanities lead you through the preparations for the holiday with our second online Advent Calendar! Please read on (below), or follow this link to this year’s Advent Calendar www.intute.ac.uk/artsandhumanities/…2008-advent-calendar/
2007’s Advent Calendar was such a success, it generated more visits to the blog than we’d received before and it involved so many of our staff and cataloguers – many contributing to the blog for the first time! Some of my favourite posts from last year’s Advent Calendar include: the blockbuster-exhibitions for winter 2007; art in space; a second life for education; Advent in the Netherlands, Sweden, Quebec and Japan; as well as visiting churches in the British Isles and in virtual worlds like Second Life.
With the perfume adverts dominating our TV viewing, and whilst we wait for “the sofa adverts” to begin – an oblique reference to Michael McIntyre’s live comedy show on YouTube! (includes strong language) – why not return each day to open the next door in the Intute: Arts and Humanities online Advent Calendar!
Daily we will highlight academic resources on the Internet on a variety of themes – artists’ lives, anniversaries, soldiers’ experiences during the First World War, international awards, film, dance, English literature and languages and literatures from around the world, as well as a few subjects which imply that “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…”
