Andy Warhol assignment

For art class I've written a poem that matches with a digitally manipulated self portret.

The poem:

Farewell

Vague is my life without you

teardrops falling down on your photos

making them vague

You were slipping through my hands,

like ice,

melting by the sun of another

Memories, stolen by the time

or given to the fire

but the ashes can't make me forget

It's been seven days now

feels like seven years

or more like a century

Seeying you,

trying to catch you,

you're like a shadow

Feeling the wind blowing,

throug my hair.

It's cold up here

One last deep sigh,

closing my eyes.

Jump.

hearing a woman screaming,

falling,

feels like ages,

touching the ground,

in one big slam.

lying there,

blood flowing all around me,

sirens shrieking

the world's getting darker.

Peace...

Rest...

Finally...

Judith Leyster assignment

This is my assignment about Judith Leyster. I had to write a poem, using fixed words, and make a drawing about it, in my own style. I like etching style, but unfortunately I didn't had the right colours. My poem is about Judith's fears, so you see a full moon, a howling wolf, two spiders, a bat and a little girl carefully watching the wolf. Because we had to use fixed words, it was hard to make a good poem. The result is not my best poem ever, but it was nice to do.

The poem:

I am Judith Leyster

I'm sometimes very happy, mostly a bit rare

I wonder, why I always feel so scared

I hear the hounds howling

I see the spiders crowling

I want to forget my fears,

by painting this whole dream

I am Judith Leyster

I pretend to fade away my fears, well,

I'm trying anyway

I feel desperately, waiting for the day

I touch the morning sun lights,

my fears go with every golden ray

Still I worry if my tears could ever go away

I cry for the pain that filled my heart

I am Judith Leyster

I understand that it's just my own imagination
I say it loud out in myself, it's just my own creation

I dream my first nice dream ever,

grass green, skies blue

I try to make such a dream really come true

I hope I'll never be afraid again

I am Judith Leyster
