The weather has been fluctuating towards warmer. It felt incredible to wear sandals in Syracuse yesterday. We’re getting there!
We are using india ink in the Studio in Art classes, hence all the black outfits. I love a good theme. For some students, this is their very first time using the medium. We are practicing first then creating hand drawings adding Persian pottery pattern designs to the compositions.
I wrote a song called India Ink in honor of the lesson. I have been posting songs and poetry on YouTube and TikTok. So fun! <3
INDIA INK

I BREATHED INTO THE ETHER
THE GIFT OF SANCTITIY
A SCRIBBLE LEFT ON PARCHMENT
TO DELIVER IN ANTIQUITY
PERSIAN POTTERY PATTERNS
REFLECT THE WAY I’M FEELING
ENGROSSED IN THE ACT
OF COMPLETING A TASK WITH
INDIA INK
INK INK INK INK
I’M ON THE BRINK
BRINK BRINK BRINK BRINK
A DESIRE TO
DRINK DRINK DRINK DRINK
A TOAST TO FALL IN LOVE
A ROOM FULL OF LAUGHTER
AND YET IT MUST BEHAVE
SCRIPTING SILENT ENDEAVOR
IN ORDER TO CREATE A WAVE
DITTO TO THE MASSES
I CAN’T CONTROL THE GUESSES
WHAT THEY SAY
IT ALWAYS BAFFLES ME
INDIA INK
INK INK INK INK
I’M GOING TO SINK
SINK SINK SINK SINK
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THINK THINK THINK THINK
ARE YOU READY TO BELIEVE
YOU’LL FALL IN LOVE?
A LETTER FASTENED TOGETHER
IN PERFECT HARMONY
A VARIATION ON THE NIB AND
WHAT’S LEFT IS A SUNNY
RINK RINK RINK RINK
FULL OF PINK
PINK PINK PINK PINK
DOLLAR BILLS
INDIA INK
INK INK INK INK
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THINK THINK THINK THINK
LA LA LA LA
THE TOPIC IS COHERENT
UNLESS WE SPEND A
MINUTE TO DIGEST
IT ALL AND FOLLOW LOVE
THE WORLD IS IN DANGER
OF FAILING TO DELIVER
THE EXPECTATIONS
THAT WE STOP TO
BLINK BLINK BLINK
AWAY THE ZINC ZINC ZINC
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THINK THINK THINK THINK
ABOUT INDIA INK
