SHE

The weather was surprisingly nice that day. The Sun was shining brightly, letting everybody know that she is there. Flowers were beginning to blossom and the wind was making trees dance. Joseph was heading to Café called L’abour, hurrying, not wanting to be late. He entered L’abour and sat in front of a brown and small table. He wanted to look around and find his friend, but the Waiter stopped him from doing so.

,,What would you like, sir?”

,,Uhm… Only water for now. Thank you.”

,,It will be served in short time, sir”

Joseph nodded, letting the Waiter know he heard it. While looking around the Café, he was humming a song – a delicate song that suited the weather. He was finishing his song, when a person, who was making him wait, entered L’abour. Their eyes met and Joseph raised his hand, hinting his friend to go to that table. His friend hurriedly ran over and sat down.

,How are you today, Joseph?” ,,I’m feeling great, how about you,William?”

2

,,Well, My wife is getting more paranoid day by day, so… I’m still sane, I think.” They laughed it off. The Waiter brought water, then William ordered coffee. Silence was taking over, but it was comfortable, before William asked Joseph a question:

,,Hey, Joe, I heard you were interested in….her”

Joseph looked at William with an eyebrow raised, not knowing what Willy was talking about.

,, What do you mean, Will?”

,,I mean… you like HER, don’t you?”

,,I may know who you are talking about, but Her isn’t her name.”

,,Eh, you always make it hard for me. Okay. You like Alice, don’t you?”

Joseph sighed, tried to look away, but his eyes were on the cup. Placing his hands awkwardly on his lap, he said:

,,Yes, I do. A lot.”

William seemed confused. He ruffled his hair.

,,But… you know what kind of woman she is.”

,,What do you mean by that?”

3

,,Joe. She is not acting like a woman, she is wild. She has got no shame, no manners and no worries. It’s not like you can see that kind of many people in this society.”

,,Will… that’s exactly why I like her. She is not like everyone, she is different. She is everything that no woman has. She is free like a wild animal. She is honest to people, and to herself. She knows what she is feeling about things and humans and accepts it fully. She is kind, so kind, that you can see kindness leaking from her eyes. She has that smile that nobody else has, the smile that took me by surprise at the first time, but made me love it after acknowledging it. She has that specific emerald eyes that can literally show you nature. The way she is talking, as if she is singing me lullaby, isn’t it alluring? Yes, I admit, she laughs too loud, she talks too much, she does look like she just woke up sometimes and yes, she may be the craziest witch out there but… that’s WHY I LIKE HER. she is craziest out there, because she is herself. When I look at her, I don’t try to find a delicate, peaceful woman, but a free, colorful painting, that always makes my heart beat. I love her all, her beauty, her faults, her habits…

4

Her soul is a mess made by colors, different pretty and full colors. And yet, you call her that kind of woman. I won’t deny, she is that kind of woman. The kind of that makes me trapped.”

,,Oh, wow… Haha, I don’t know what to say, Joe. I don’t know… if the fact that you are romantic is in the fault or the fact that you love her deeply… Okay, Joe, I hope you end up with her, Cause you deserve her. But I am not quite sure if she deserves you…”

,,Haha, I actually am not going to confess to her. I feel like I will suffocate her, I am quite egotistical. If she won’t blossom because of me… I don’t want her being mine. I want her to be free forever.”

,,Joe…that’s quite deep.”

They laughed, talked about new newspapers, work and Omlet, that were so delicious in L’abour.

Soon, they exited the Café and parted away. Joseph was humming that song again, even though it would start raining.

PEACOCK

There was a very large forest with a wide variety of animals and color flowers where lush tree reached the deep blue sky. One of the most majestic animals in this forest was the peacock. One day I was watching this majestic peacock with admiration and noticed a hunter following him. The hunter approached the peacock to get the beautiful feathers of the peacock. Noticing the hunter the peacock dropped a feather while trying to flee. The hunter took this feather. But of course one feather was not enough for him and he continued chasing the peacock.

8

Cause he wanted more and would sell them and earn money. While the hunter was chasing the peacock ,a snake suddenly appeared in front of him. The hunter got very scared when he saw the snake and suddenly froze. The peacock also ran away. I saw animals protect each other in nature. Humans should be respectful to nature and animals. We must not harm nature and animals for our own interests. We must protect natural life.

Free Birds

The little girl's father was convicted in a prison where the heaviest political punishment was given in a country where freedoms were restricted. She and her mother went to prison to visit her father every weekend.

She made a painting, diligently to give it to her father, and took it with her on a visit. However, the painting she made during the control was not found suitable according to the prison rules. Because they thought the birds she painted in the picture represented freedom.There was no room for thoughts like freedom in prison. There upon they tore the little girl's picture right there. She said very sadly at the meeting that she was painting to her father but they wouldn't let her.

10

Her father said: - Don't be sad girl, you will paint another picture. This time you will pay attention to what you draw in your picture, will you?The little girl painted and took a new picture to her father on her next visit. This time there were no birds in the picture. She had painted a tree and tiny black spots on it. This time they gave permission. His father looked at the picture with pleasure and asked: - Hmmm! What a beautiful tree you have drawn! What are the spots on the tree? Are these apples?

The little girl, bowing to her father, quietly: - Hşşşşt! Those spots are not apples, but the eyes of birds hiding in the tree!

IN MY STRANGE DREAM

I was walking in the forest. I was walking, walking and walking. Suddenly a strange waterfall came before me. The waterfall flowed from the cliffs and there were green and red algae on the cliffs. But the river where the waterfall fell looked so beautiful.Then I wanted to swim in the river where the waterfall flows. But when I jumped in for a swim, I suddenly found myself in my bed. Actually it was a dream.It was my dream. A few munites later I wake up. And I turned on my laptop. I was having breakfast while my laptop was turning on. When my laptop turned on, I searched the waterfall in my dream. And I found something. The waterfall I saw in my dream is actually an abstract painting. I really like this picture. And I was surprised and happy to see this picture in my dream.

Prejudice

I wanted to be an artist for a long time. My paintings were admired

around me. But I didn’t have self confidence. I didn’t believe in my paintings. Though I had passion and made a painting. When I displayed my paintings, people called them masterpieces. I became a popular artist worldwide. I was very happy. This is the case in every branch. The prejudice we make to people is also valid in paintings. We shouldn’t judge ourselves and other people harshly.

THE COLORFUL PICTURE by Lena

The picture is very colorful. There isn’t any man, but there are a lot of colors. I can see the colors: red, yellow, blue, green, purple, light green and dark blue. I think there is a waterfall in the middle of the picture. This waterfall is light blue. There is a pollen around. It’s yellow and red. There is a lake at the bottom of the picture. The lake is clean and glowing. I guess that there are a lot of fish in this lake. I have the impression that there is a cat next to the waterfall. The cat is yellow and it’s sitting on a crocodile. This crocodile is green and its mouth is open. There are friends and they are playing. There is also a green column next to the waterfall. It seems that there is a small cave in the distance. Perhaps the people live in this cave. They are very happy because they can live in the colorful word. It’s hard to say, but I think I also would be happy to live here.

Nisa's Story

It was summer, now the schools were on vacation. I was so excited because we were going to my grandfather's farm. We set out two days after the schools were on vacation and my heart was pounding as we approached the farm. Tonn greeted us at the entrance to the farm, and then my grandfather. I rushed to my grandfather and hugged our two eyes. We went in taking our suitcases and bags. Carrying the suitcases was tired and hungry for us. My mother went into the kitchen to cook. My father set up a tent in the garden for my sister Elif. Elif was playing with her babies in the tent with those cartoon characters and cooking for her babies. I was leaning on a tree and reading a book in the chirping of a bird.

A blue butterfly came next to me as if it was saying come after me. The butterfly was running in front of me, I was running behind me. When I looked up and looked at that azure butterfly, what should I see?

16

I was beamed to a completely different world as if the butterflies were not one but a thousand tans. A waterfall was flowing next to me. the rainbow came out.

Grandfather: Kerem son, let's wake up, eat dinner, fall asleep here.

Nisa: Sir, my grandfather fell asleep while reading a book, grandfather had a beautiful dream. Dede: Ok son, let's go inside, you can tell inside Nisa: Okay, my grandfather. We went in with my grandfather, that dream I had had a

great influence on me.

Peace and beauty

I’m running gracefully as the wind is blowing through my shiny hair. In this landscape of eternal harmony, I feel free.The elegant explosion of colours gives me power to keep my head high and fight against my fears.

I’m wearing a white dress that symbolizes honesty and the forest is also covered in a glamorous cape. It embraces a dreamy ambiance and I feel my heart beating for the gorgeous colours in which this picture of forest is diving.

Whenever my soul is open to write beautiful poems, I go to the landscape I’ve always felt I belonged to.The perfume of melancholy seems so familiar and the mellifluous sounds that come from the unknown give me inspiration and an ineffable feeling of nostalgia.

This angelic piece of Heaven, the forest, has taught me the most valuable life lessons. Golden, red, blue, green bloom in this sweet atmosphere.

18

Golden is the colour that encourages me to always have a heart of gold. Blue signifies spiritual peace and serenity, so I will manage to be a pleasant and harmonious person. Red is the colour of power and confidence.We ought to have courage to trust our powerful self. Green is everything and we do everything to become whom our young self only afforded to dream of.

These are the colours of the magical forest that shine gloriously in my heart which can’t help falling in love with this everlasting splendor. I wander the demure paths on my way home. This masterpiece of colours has set me free from the cage I built by myself and let me fly like a bird through the night.

My poetic heart loves the willow that’s benting to the wind, the tender shadows of the afterglow and the loving perfume of lavender waiting for the summer. We live in peace.

PAINTING EXHIBITION

When I went to school on a Wednesday, our teacher informed us that we will go to the painting exhibition. It I was very happy to hear the news. What pictures would captivate me? Painting exhibition it was the next day. When I got home, I told my mother that we were going to the painting exhibition. My mother was also very happy. The next day I woke up early. I washed my face, had breakfast, put on and brushed my hair and I got into the service waiting outside the door to take me to school. When we go to school; white colour, a huge yellow-lined wheeled bus was waiting. After a long journey by bus we came to the place where the exhibition was. All the paintings in the exhibition when you walk through the magnificent door of the exhibition He was in front of us. Our teacher showed us the first table, then the second and the third.

20

A little more after we progressed, a colorful picture emerged. This painting fascinated me so much I couldn't take my eyes off the painting. When I looked at the painting, I felt a feeling of happiness. In the table the harmony and harmony of the colors took me away from me. Our teacher said that Gerhard Richter made the painting and added that the name of the painting is Abstraktes Bild. After what our teacher told my curiosity about painting increased even more. Our teacher started to give more information about the painting. The more my teacher gave information, the more I got excited.

Looking further at the painting, I noticed a change. Neither an object, nor a shape, nor a being in the painting had. There were only colors; yellow, red, blue, orange, green. This situation immediately to our teacher. I told. Our teacher laughed slightly at first and told me that paintings like this are Abstract Painting.

21

I said to myself, "It means abstract painting." I've never heard this word before. Abstract My interest in painting was gradually increasing. I wanted to learn more about abstract painting. This kind of question the signs were swirling in my head. After a while the exhibition was over and we got on the school bus. These questions It never crossed my mind until I got home. We finally came home. A big one inside the door I entered excitedly. I told my mother what happened in the painting exhibition and the painting I saw. I told my mother that I also wanted to paint abstract. Mom in acrylic to make abstract painting she said the paint might be suitable. There was no acrylic paint at home, there was gouache paint, so it was prepared and We went to the market with my mother. We visited the stationery one by one but could not find it. So back home we returned. I pulled out a large drawing paper and gouache and started painting. I see Because the painting is colorful, I made my painting using all my colors.

22

About half an hour later my painting was finished. Although it was my first picture, it was just fine. What my mom said It would be better if it was acrylic paint like this, but I liked it that way too. The next time I make a painting, acrylic I was going to use paint. In order for my second table to be more beautiful, I would like to use the internet tips and related I watched the videos. Now I knew more about abstract painting. When going to school the next day I took my painting with me. My teacher liked my painting very much and he sent me to the painting contest. He wanted me to attend. When the lesson was over and I went home, I told my mother and we made our application. Competition results were announced 2 weeks later. It was nice to be 6th even though I could not get a degree. This is our teacher He said that the competition will be next year. I was going to participate in the contest the next year. But this time I aimed to enter a degree. Ebrar Y.

Values of colors

All colors can contain different values and different emotions for everyone. Did you know that people's favorite color can change based on what they feel and think? People may hate other colors when their favorite colors change. This got them thinking of creating the rainbow and the colors made a decision. The 7 most popular colors come together to form a rainbow. The 7 colors chosen would announce pink, the first color of the universe.
Pink color:
- 7 winning colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Navy and Purple.
Over time, after it rained, the rainbow formed as the Sun came out. When the missing colors were upset, they made a pink decision and held a meeting again.

24

- With a new decision, I want to announce that there will be no 7 colors in the rainbow! Only humans will be able to see these 7 colors, in fact all colors will blend into the 7 colors in the layers, so the rainbow will not scientifically be 7 colors!
Colors made a new decision and asked people a question:
- Why don't you love us all, what was the need for separation? Now you will need to fix this! You don't know what we are feeling because of this situation. Our request from you is that when we see the rainbow, do not forget that there are not only 7 colors, but when all the colors are together, only the rainbow can be formed!
On top of that, people loved every color and happy ending!

EMBRACING THE FOREST

Yesterday, we spent a whole day in the heart of the forest, the perfect place for relaxing moments. The wonderful landscape surprised and delighted me as I looked at the picture. It gave me a sense of peace and I felt a surprising joy somewhere inside me. who seemed to want to tell me this was my place. Trees of different essences seemed carefully painted, and the water-stained leaves accidentally spilled onto the precious portrait of nature. The melodious voice of the birds enveloped the forest, leaving a red trail of unmistakable love for the welcoming nature that was illuminated by the sun's rays. With a wonderful experience I chose this amazing encounter with nature and I can say that he welcomed me with open arms in his soul full of natural wonders and unique beauties.

My thoughts

When I first saw this picture I said this is our life. At first glance there is a mess and you can't understand the content. It is trying to say something but in vain, but the other side if you go deeper you will understand what it shows, We all make wrong decision because of that reason,the problem is that people don't go deeper to the issues, can't understand the truth, can't understand reality. In conclusion we don't have to make quick decisions until we don't prove and understand the truth.
