Paris in Early Spring
by Michael Zamudio

During the week of Winter Break, AP Studio Art and French students traveled to the beautiful city of Paris, France. They had the opportunity to visit numerous famous sites and submerged themselves into the French culture. Senior Dalena-Marie Larson stated, “Paris is like a whole new world; it’s like another planet and it was so much fun. Not only did we visit places like The Louvre Museum, but we also got to sketch sculptures, such as The Winged Victory. The trip to Paris was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget.”
Senior Annah Karakas said, “Paris is such a beautiful city. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to visit sites such as the Palace of Versailles because it was so fun and I learned a lot.” Along with Mrs. Connolly, art teacher, Mrs. Leighton Isaacs led the trip, and she thoroughly enjoyed her second trip to Paris.

Here’s a list of the places the group visited:
- The top of the Eiffel Tower
- Notre Dame Cathedral
- The Louvre Museum
- Musée d’ Orsay
- Palace of Versailles
- A Day Trip to Loire Valley Chateaus which included:
• Chenenceaux
• Chambord
• Chartres Cathedral
While they visited Montmartre, a famous artist district and the highest point in Paris that surrounds Sacre Coeur Cathedral, seniors Larson and Liz Fenwick posed, as working artists painted their portraits.
The trip proved to be positive and exciting for all travelers and a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
