At School in Germany
Here we are working on two projects. Seven landscapes are being painted by groups of three students while they and other students are also working on a painting consisting of 56 10x10 inch individual pieces. We have not put it together yet and will see it for the first time at the reception tonight. It is 70 inches by 80 inches and represents the painting, 'Industria', 1895 by Antoine Bourlard.
The students are hard working, inquisitive and very capable while taking on a new project. I had known them only by their log books and was delighted to work with them. By way of introduction I asked for a student volunteer to sit for a portrait while we talked , Dilara sat and the students and I asked and answered questions and got used to the idea of painting.
The Transatlantic Bridge Project is an excellent vehicle for international communication.
