As we celebrate National Poetry Month here in the States, Proctor Academy's European Art Classroom reflects on week three studying abroad in France in poem. Enjoy this piece from Rhyanne '18! 

Rhyanne '18: 

Water splashes over the dull grey rocks,

Horizon line fuzzy; from sea to sky,

Paint brush on canvas,

Each stroke different from before,

Colors changing; always changing.

Oil pigments on the white canvas,

Scenery from eye,

To hand,

To canvas.

Blues

Reds

 Yellows, and Whites,

Beautiful paintings from everyone.

Wind blowing through the air,

Pushing poshod boxes,

Ocean spray,

Sunlight hitting,

Sun burns.

Blankets from picnic now for the sun,

Music playing through the air,

Laughter and conversation.

Food is delicious,

From sushi before

The Russian Orchestra,

to strawberry tarts

Ending the week on a great treat.
