Proposal

The proposal I have is revising the Vincent Van Gogh essay “The starry night and its tortured soul”. I will be doing six of his paintings and giving them a 100 word poem each. I will be trying to reach the audience of adults in a night cafe for poetry readings where I can be sponsored in the brochure as a poetry reader expressing the emotions I feel when I see these paintings. The paintings I have chosen are The Starry Night, At Eternity’s Gate, Autumn’s Landscape with Four Trees, The Pink Peach Tree, Cafe Terrace at Night, and Vase with Five Sunflowers. Each poem will have a different emotion, tone, feeling, and theme, based upon the painting they are referring. Viewing the paintings through another form of art being poetry is something I have always wanted to combine. I feel as though it will be bringing the art to a new light of life.
