What's That Smile?
Just my luck to be teaching art appreciation when the Da Vinci Code came out. Usually I get a lot of Sistine Chapel papers and Davids, but this year everybody turned in a paper on the Mona Lisa, replete with schtick about Opus Dei, the Louvre connection, secret codes and Tom Hanks' dressing room. I swore after reading over a dozen some had to be copies of others, but they weren't; they were just often using similar sources.

What IS reality? Great fiction can become the "truth" to the next generations. History is constantly being reinterpreted until the true reality probably gets lost. But after reading the book, R & I are certainly both looking forward to the movie though!
