France is an amazing other world. I have yet to see Paris aside from De Gaulle airport, but so far the countryside is really beautiful. The program I am part of is located in Pont Aven. This is just about 5 hours west of Paris, located in an area of France called Brittany. For some religious reason, I keep seeing pictures of women with small white hats that resemble cups on their head. It's a tourist town with some busy traffic, but their are spots all around that take you off the beaten path.
The program is four weeks long, and we are whipping these students into shape. They work all day and into the night on various series of drawing investigations. At the moment, they are on a drawing "odyssey" in which they have 60 hours to make 70 drawings. I feel their pain, and hope they can pull through on this one. Oy!
Here are some pics of the town.
