Read stories about this artwork.

This painting may look at first like a muddle of shapes and colours, but if you look carefully you can see water gushing over rocks into a deep, cool pool shaded by overhanging trees. The artist uses shapes, colours and scribbly marks to express how nature makes him feel.

How does the waterfall make you feel? Where is the waterfall? Could it be in a far-away or fantasy land? Look closely and you will see someone sitting watching the waterfall…who do you think she might be and why is she watching the water?

I felt the cool water rushing over my body refreshing me.It was strange how crystal clear and clean it looked but you couldnt have any way of knowing where it has been or gone. I liked this area of the forest it made me feel safe and comfortable and it was away from the noise and smell of the tribes.I hated my life here ever scince I was little I knew i didnt belong here I was a different colour from the rest and hated hunting animals with the rest of the tribe members it was now that i heard a rustling among the trees and another girl about twenty told me my story…I was on a ship passing over to america and as we were passing this island when the ship hit a rock every one died apart from me and my sister who were rescued by the tribes before we drowned. “I am your sister the girl of the same colour as me whispered. and to this day we cannot be separted.

Once a man painted a waterfall.Imagine it…………………………
Wild springs,lush leaves and plants, water gushing down from the high rocks in to the river.Mmmm.. Not quite what he was planning to do.The only waterfall in the dry congo probably.
you would think he came from outer mongolia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe not, cause his name is Arshile Gorky! Hardly Outer Mongolian!!!!!!!!!

In a land faraway
were nobody knows
There’s flowing water
that reaches your nose
It will gracefully move
And if you look carefully
you will see
A women starring up your knee
Your eyes will stare
Even if you don’t care
And water will fall right to your hair
And you will hear a song of the sea
And you’ll have to say by by to your fantasy

Madda looked through the trees, towards the sound of water. There, stood a colourful waterfall. But this wasn’t just any waterfall, for sparks flew out of the water and danced in the twilight. Madda stepped into the river. The water was warm and , in a way, it felt magical. Little shimmery fish jumped out, welcoming Madda to their watery wonderland. But then Madda woke up, shaking her head.
“Time for breakfast, Madda!” Mother called.

one day there wasa little girl that knew she was a great artist but since she was poor nobody would look at her paintings. But if they did they just said she was not an artist, that made the little girl called Gemma very upset so she didn’t paint any more. But while Gemma was looking back through her old things, she saw one of her old paintings and she found that it doesn’t matter what other people say , it’s waht you think. Little did she know that there was a atr competition coming up, when she was in the village collecting the paper, she over heard someone talking about it and she knew that she was going to enter it. At Gemmas house she got out her old painting things and got to work. When she was all ready to start , she was thinking about what to paint and she couldn’t think of anything. So she got up and went to her art cupboard and picked up one of her old paintings , perfect said Gemma as she went to turn in her painting but then when she finally got in to see the judges they turned her away because of what she looked like. But art is not about the person painting it, art is about the feeling you get inside you as you look at the painting and it is not just painting thta is atrt, it can be anything. so look at my painting and really focus on it, does it do anything to the way you feel, does it make oyu happy or sad. Do you like it ,really like it? And believe it or not, Gemma actually won! i knew i had something in me said Gemma as she was walking out of the building.

There once was a school called wood-dene, and it was open for 24 years. Every pupil loved going to school and they all loved their teachers. Some people had been going to wood-dene since they were two. It was a very cosy school and it felt like a big family, their friends were their brothers and sisters.

One day the school had the bad news that they had to close down. All the pupils were sad and wanted to cry. So now on this day it is no more.

This hazy, surreal painting has a deep meaning that is hidden in the walls of this dream-like picture. splashes of colours and shapes, there to show joy or to release a secret.Ignorance is bliss. Does it matter what it means? Does it matter what the name is or who has done it? There is no right answer to this code. No ephiphiny to uncover.
The purpose of art is to emphithise with the artist. To have your own opinions and feelings. This peice of art is to resemble a waterfall. But surely it can’t be that simple? That …Shallow?!
But maybe thats just me…

I watched the colourful, gushing water as it rushed down the rocks, as if in a hurry to get somewhere. The water seemed to be taking forms of different things…first a dinosaur, then a guitar, a hippo, a house, even a painting; the colours swirling into their magic shapes. Watching the water calmed my down after a hard day, even though I was not touching it. I stretched out my arms into the twirling, misty, soothing water. All of a sudden my skin felt soft with the cool, soothingness of the magical water made me realize how lucky I really was. How lucky I was to have a place to relax, to have a waterfall like this one. I was so lucky. Lucky…

Of course, I barley ever turned into a waterfall. Sometimes I wish I could, but I dont.
Wearing 2 huge black pins, I sit down. Wondering when the next visitor would come.

Katrine lived near a watterfall called The falls of paint. It was called that because it looked like paint instead of water. Katrine didn’t have any friends, she was home schooled and her mom went shopping. Her only friend was Massie, her dog and Boots, her cat. She was playing with Massie when there was a knock at the door. She was too tired to yell for her dad so she opened it. There was a 11 year old girl, Katrine’s age with a scout uniform. She said ” Would you like to buy some chocolate?” ” Wow, This looks good. And I’m so lonely that I think I will!” ” I’ll be your friend” said the girl ” My name’s Lindsay.” And Katrine and Lindsay became best friends. They played at The falls of paint every day.

I think there is many different tales about this art work.This was made in 1943 by a girl on a boat and was taken away from her life because she was Jewish it was not her falt because she was. So she had to hide from the towns people so she won`t get caught but one stormy night the police found her had was in jail for life but the other people who where hiding from them found her art work gave it to someone to put it in the gallrey.

Life for the smitts had started of a brilliant life. They had a big house, lots of money, many friends and had there family beside them. Until one day hitler became leader of Germany. The smitt family was jewish so they had to leave their home to another part of amsterdam. They managed to keep safe in hiding until one day, things began to change. There was less people in the village now, so the family started to worry. All of there friends had gone!. They had to leave this part of amsterdam. So as they packed there things and locked the house up, Mrs smitt had left her peral necklace, her mother had once given to her whilst she was a child. She had to go and get it otherwise, she wouldnt have any thing to remind her of her mother……. to be continued

‘Dont laugh it took me ages!’ Tally snapped.
‘What is it?’ Sniggered Mike
‘Its abstract it doesnt have to be anything in paticular, or it could be loads of things merged together!’ Tally defended looking down at the painting, ‘Well I was proud of it,’ She whispered a tear rolling down her cheek.
‘Your crying over a tiny comment?’ Mike rolled his eyes. Tally quickly wiped it away. She got up and moved to a different table leaving Mike frowning in confusion.

Later on that day Tally took her favourite paints and her pad to the water fall looking at the painting, by Arshile Gorky , that was the inspiration of her work. She loved how the colours stood out against the green and greys, one day she would be as good as that! One day she would be in art gallery’s and people like Mike would be taking back what they said and would be paying good money to have her artwork. Tally snapped out of her daydream and started to paint…

Twenty years later Tally sat at the book signing table, where she signed book after book. She read the title again and again trying to let it sink in that she had just made a picture book of all her children paintings. Suddenly she looked up to find a young man with a cheeky smile, she would know anywhere!
‘Why hello Mike, come to get your book signed?’ She teased. Mike lay the book down on the desk it was opened on a painting of a sheep grazing in a river, the very painting he had made fun of! There eyes met and they burst out laughing.

Once upon a time there was an beutiful island-my island, i called it teribithia.On teribithia there was a huge waterfall witchs water was so magical that if you even glimsed at it your eyes will loose sight or if you touched it you would turn to stone in seconds.Even some of the stone statues were created there including venus demilo.Also the water of the waterfall was very colourful it was red orange yellow and black.Teribithia was unkown on any map.It was so secretive that even teribithians were very rarely seen. I have only seen 1 terith [person]and i live there.Ive been on this island for 5 years since i was 6yrs old my mother and father are dead they died when i was 2 and i still love them both much.alover the island there are lots of trees though it is small it holds over 100 palm tree’s.The only terebithian ive seen is kensuke he is my bestest freind though he is 67yrs old he acts like a father to me.I paint with him.He comes from Japan but he got shiprecked when he was 17 he says “there was very bad storm ,rain come,me get no sleep,next thing i know i was on teribithia covered in washed up shrub.”i now see him everyday.I go fishing with him every morning he always catches big ones[and i mean big].But later in life i am on my own with no-one to help me or comunicate with me.Kensuke is long gone.He died many years ago.He was very angry because i wanted to see the other part of the island he said “no you do not go there demeda is there” i did not understand him so i went to the other side next to the waterfall not knowing what danger was ahead of me.I was hit in the head by a huge coconut.I looked up. there was a small little creature- suddenly it jumped at me…I was hauled onto the floor.This creature pinned me down.Its black eyes were squeesed tight.Then out off knowhere kensuke ripped the creature off me and threw him into the waterfall with himself…The next thing i knew he was a stone statue.i ran back to our cave with kensuke on my shoulder.When we got back i couldnt sleep 1 bit.I stayed up half the night dreading the next day.Once i fell asleep even in my dreams the terrorizing catastrophe hounted me.The next morning i woke up with a bang the cave mouth had been blocked?oh no something much worse i had been trapped in with a very scary creature the molopoliante….i survived though easy peasy!but i was still so very sad that i lost not only my best freind but my supposdly dad.I am still alone this day on my island.I drew a picture of kensuke sitting next to the waterfall watchin the water flow symphathetically down the rigged rocks.

There was once a hill. It was very dull so the people of the village got to work gathering water. They started to dig a hole at the top of the hill and at the bottom. So when it rained water filled up the holes… IT MADE….. A WATERFALL!

im a simple girl. worrring about things that girls worry about. hair…boyfriends…make up…
no!no!no! thats not me! i’m not a ordinary girl.im one of a kind! I can see things which no body else can see.
its my own little world.
colours every where like theyve been splashed about un – willingly.
swirls ans objects absorbing into eachother.
then one day something very strange happened.
i was sucked into my own world.
the power pulling me into there was unbelievably strong!
the shere force ripped all of the colours away from my body. just leaving a white and black me.
then all of a sudden, i was sucked back into my own world.
i was dazed.
not knowing i looked around puzzled.
then i searched for my world telephathically.
and found it. but this time it had colour. all of my colours mixed together. absorbing and creating new blobs and wierd shapes as i speak.
it isnt just a world anymore…
its MY world!
and i’m keeping it like this forever!
The End!

Someone covered in a blanket next to a waterfall. Families of lizards came down to the water’s edge. She jumped up … It was when she heard a weird sound. A Kingfisher zoomed down beside her, splashing into the lake catching a fish and coming up into the blue. Frogs came one by one out from the edges. Frogs were croaking from every direction like a chorus in a song. She blocked her ears, ran away and has never been seen again.
