We are both translating and drawing Komitas

Carrying on the project "Komitas" the students of Art High school are translating some of Komitas's creations and letters from Armenian into English. The work is both interesting and rather difficult. This morning we chose "Krunk-Crane" by Komitas and asked Ms.Sofia to come and explain to us the words of the song. Then each student tried to reproduce the text of the song in English in the style of proze. While some students were busy with the translation others were trying to draw the picture of Komitas. We continued the translation during the club hour. WWe translated the "Crane" and one of Komitas's letters addressed to Margaret.        

The original Armenian text by Haikuhi Hovhannisyan
