Students Sleeping in Bonn Art Classroom

Warm golden light floods the back row of an art classroom in Bonn as the sun dips low outside tall windows. Students rest in wooden chairs, heads bowed against folded arms or leaning on the wall. Dust particles float in the beams of amber light. Sketchbooks lie open on desks, their pages catching the glow. Worn paper and charcoal sketches sit beside easels in the corner. Long shadows stretch across the floorboards, darkening the space near the window frames. Winter coats pile on empty seats. The grain of the wood shines under the fading sun. One sketchbook rests on the nearest desk, its pages catching the final amber rays of the day.
