E. I used whatsapp emoticons because it is a current language
F. Love is a very important topic so I chose a part of the song which really describes the way we feel when we're in love.
G. All the poems has struck a chord. Some of them have made me cried, some have let my imagination fly ; all of them have touched my soul.
H. When I read the poem, images of the Syrian people's anguish and suffering, escaping from war and violence, came to my mind. That's why I wanted to contribute critically to highlight the situation, showing real images of Syrian children grabbing "the kite of their dreams" and European politicians blowing against it. As a source of inspiration, I used two ideas from two masterpieces of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: The Scream, by Edward Munch and Guernica, by Picasso, to share my feelings against the non fulfillment of Human Rights.
I I like writing and painting, especially watercolors. For this reason, it has been a way to express my creativity. I made a new poem from the poem chosen. I let my imagination fly and I have flown to the seas of oblivion. I have represented a woman without mouth chained to her memories, because the words are useless and I like talking through color. “May the farewell exist when we really love?”
J. The first thing I did was to read through the poems several times and look up the pronunciation of the words that I did not know.
Which has been your final output?
