Embrace the serene spirituality of Scotland's majestic landscapes with this exquisite print that captures the transcendent beauty of Cruach Àrdrain. The work presents a harmonious interplay between the natural elegance of the Scottish Munros and the distinctive, ornate stylings characteristic of Art Nouveau. As the eye meanders through the composition, it is greeted by the gentle, flowing waters of a pristine stream, its surface animated with a sparkling ballet of light and shadow. The undulating curves of the water's edge are meticulously lined with a kaleidoscope of stones, each rendered with tender precision, leading the gaze on a meandering journey toward the distant mountains. The warm hues of the setting sun bathe the scene in an ethereal glow. The sky, awash with whispers of sunset orange and delicate creams, hosts a softly glowing orb that rests just above the peaks, casting a radiant light that infuses the valleys below with a golden radiance. Every blade of grass is touched by the sun's dying light, their tips aglow as if ablaze with an inner fire, further accented by the silhouette of a barren tree that stands as a solitary sentinel to this serene moment. In the distance, the formidable Munros rise with a dignified grace, their slopes swept in a tapestry of burnt orange and rich, earthy browns that echo the last embers of day. Not only does this print celebrate the wild, untamed spirit of the Scottish Highlands, but it also exemplifies the fluid lines and natural motifs so beloved in Art Nouveau design. This piece invites viewers to partake in a moment of quiet contemplation, recalling the timelessness of nature's artistry interwoven with mankind's tribute to its splendour. An homage to Scottish grandeur, this print is a testament to the enduring allure of both nature's creations and human artifice, bridging the gap between them with masterful strokes and a profound depth of colour.

An arabesque is one of the most week known and beautiful of all classical ballet movements. It should show clean leg, arm, torso and eye lines, demonstrate balance, grace, poise, and have a wonderful feeling of lift and flow. To achieve all of the above, the student dancer must be aware of weight placement. • Getting the weight off the supporting heel and on to the ball of the foot and toes before raising the other leg en l'air is important. • Find a sense of extension and lengthenin
