Art - The Blue Vase by Paul Cézanne

For Art this week, I learned about Paul Cezanne. First, I read about his life and works. Next, I focused on his painting, The Blue Vase.

I tried to copy it. Not so bad for my first try, I think.

I also wrote a short story inspired by the painting. Here it is:

Once upon a time, there was a woman  named Elizabeth who was a potter. She loved the color blue, mostly because it was the color of the Blue Musketeer. is the most accurate, and the most handsome musketeer of all. He has a lot of enemies and his real identity was a secret. Elizabeth loves him, but she is not sure if he loves her back.

One morning Elizabeth woke up because a man was shouting “Letter for Elizabeth!” She opened the door, got the mail, said” Thanks you,” and immediately closed it. “I wonder who it’s from?” she told herself. She opened the letter and gasped in surprise.

It said,

Dear, Elizabeth

Ever since I saw you one night, I could not stop thinking about you! After a while, I finally got someone to find your address so I can give you this letter. Can we meet tomorrow at the park, around 7:00 pm?

P.S No one knows this, but my real name is John.

She jumped for joy and noticed that the mail was open before she opened it. “Whatever, I’m going to meet up with the Blue Musketeer!” she thought.

The next day she prepared for the BIG night, she spent almost every penny in her wallet just to prepare for it. At 6:50, she left in a hurry to the park and arrived at 7:00. She saw a man in a white T-shirt and light blue pants on the bench of the park. It was John.

She ran there and started talking, then flirting and just when they were about to kiss she heard a slice and then a thump. Elizabeth opened her eyes and saw a dead body on the floor with a marking of a knife on the neck! She ran to her house as fast as she could and when she finally got inside, she started to cry.

The next day she and her numb eyes thought that she should make a vase to remember John by, and so she did. After a few failed tries, out came from the pottery room…. A light blue vase.

THE END

The next part of this study involves dissecting a flower and drawing its reproductive parts. Then time to make dried flowers! I will post pics of those once I am done.
