COMEBACK TO CLASS

Hello everyone!, welcome again to my blog. I had forgot this blog, website. Has passed much time since the last time I visited this blog, since that last time that I wrote here.

Today I go to speak about this strange and different school years, that don't only affect at Universidad de Chile, also other universities and school the country. This semester was and been very strange, all began fast and disorganized, the courses are not the better,and does not have much offer to courses. Some teacher does not did your courses, because time was very short for give all topics. We had only 3 months the class, and one normal

semester have six month to class. The quality is not the better, but don´t have another possibility.

The classes  will finish in February, when most universities are the vacations. Going to the university in this time is awful, in this time do much heat, I feel heat all day and I can´t work  with this heat, but all have the consequence in the life and in this case was have class in summer.

THE BLOG

Welcome again. This is the last post, the situation is uncertain about the class. In this occasion I speak about my BLOG and my experience about him. Is the Blog a good method to learn?, it is more easy or hard? (that a class normal),  we It enjoy?. Lots questions emerge about this topic.

Really, I had lots doubt and fear about the blog, first because I not was sure about my ability in the english, and second because my friends spoke bad about it. I have another opinion, very different.

The first classes was hard, I was took several classes for write good. But I improved, and now I feel with more ability and confident for write. I like the blog, I find a program amusing and interactive for learn a different form and not a typical class.

Some advantages this method (for me) are the practice of the writting,  to way real, commenting and talking  with your friends, about topics common and nearby. The blog we permit learn of form different more common for us.

The disadvantages are: the difficulty and knowledge that the blog require. Write mean have a english advanced and generally this is not always possible, the different knowledges between the students is not  same, , generating differentiate between them. Also writting in the blog require of time and perseverance, we can't delay the blog, and always we have that send and do the post.

TRAVEL

Welcome everybody again to my blog. We had a week very hectic, with marches and protest. Our  university is on strike, we have two week in strike, in this situation all student (majority)  think about  your vacations. Any moment can be a good moment to rest, for do something different to routine. Going to beach for two days, going out with friends or do nothing.

For me vacations are a grand moment  in the year, and are most even, when I can to travel  to other country. I love travel, I love to share with other culture, with other people, I love know other places, new places.

I had the chance going to other countrys, going to other places of world, I had chance share with people de other countrys and I do better friends.

I had chance going to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, etc.. always in American, I love my continent, I love the people and their custom. When  I travel, always I try share with the people place, know their way of life and their custom. 

But, for me that I'm student, travels are don't nothing easy. Always I have that work for to collect money and this I do at beginning of the years, in march month. Saving money for the trip, involve much sacrifice, I have to saving in everything, in the lunch, in the clothes, in the bus, etc... In general I don't spend in nothing. But the sacrifice be worth, a travel always is an experience, always we gain experience, we learn of the life with other people.

"Marches and Protests"

Welcome again to my blog, today a go to speak about topic “marches and protests”. The people together every day in different places of world is manifested, through different forms such as marches, internet, hunger strikes, etc.... The technology is very important for this, because it facilitates communication and planning big events. Only one the most important means of communication is the facebook, through it millions of people are organized, come together in places and at specific times. Another form of communication is through Twitter, the people write your impressions and comments, they write about that they dislike and that they like. But also, there are classic forms such as: posters, banners, graffiti, etc... All forms are valid, provided they respect to the other, for me the violence do not never be the forms for manifest.

In my country, the people last days, have taken to the streets, for different reasons such as: education, nature, and principal and most important reason for be listen for the authority. People feel abandoned and do not heard by the government. The “marches and protests” are a way to show discontent, but also the joy of a people, as when we win in the football.

The most important marches these days is Patagonia sin represas , this march summon millions of citizens, that together they fight for save the Patagonia and her wealth natural. Another very typical manifestation of all years have relation with students. Every years in this dates all students of public education, march through the streets, demanding a education fair.

MASTERPIECE

Hello everyone! Today I go to speak about my favourite masterpiece.  I really think I don’t have only one favourite masterpiece, but I will choose one.  I choose a masterpiece of David Ligare, call: “Kimolos (Thrown Drapery)”.

David Ligare was born in 1945, in the city of Illinois, EEUU. His first formal arts studies were from in Art Center College of Design, in the city of Los Angeles. His paintings it’s in the galleries of Museum Modern Arts, New York, Museum of Fine Arts San Francisco, Florence and Museum of Madrid.

He is a realist contemporany painter and his work is focused in paintings of still life, landscapes and ordinary objects. This artist, believe in the power of the representation (in the way of perceptual analysis) because can make us see clearly and rationally. Some of his works represents mythological scenes and characters: Penelope, Aquiles. One of his masterpieces in this subject (in my opinion) is his Hercules protecting balance between Pleasure and Virtue (1993). This painting is an example of the classic treatment of colors and forms. We can see it in the bodies of the men, the posses, the clothes, the extra- elements (decorative) and in the composition in general.

Another element used by this artist is the still – life paintings. Historically, this type of paintings was less valuates because, still life seemed frivolous and served no useful purpose. But, nineteenth century, when painters began to assert the primacy of art for art’s sake, did still life begin to assume a higher status. Ligare’s use this and pretend to do “art for art” while the purpose is to educate: the paintings at once recall lessons from the past, and extract a universal order from the frenzy of modern life. “Kimolos (Thrown Drapery)” is only one masterpieces of de artist.  It paint was created in the years 2009-2010.



MY FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHY.

Hello! Today I speak about my favourite photography.  For this occasion I selection a picture about the Patagonia Chilean.  This because in my country today have a problem respect this topic.

I selected this picture for several reasons, but the most important reason for me is the amazing of place. The Patogonia is a place very extreme of country, in the south of Chilean, with a flora and fauna incredible, in place the animals lives together, in the wild, and de flora born of unique form. Also the intensity of de colors are magnificent, greens are strong and powerful blues.

The places more well-known are: Torres del Paine, Punta Arenas and National Park Torres del Paine. In the zone there much activity tourists, walks National Parks, trekking, boating, and visits for the incredible glaciers. It’s a beautiful rides for the family or friends. The only problem is that it’s very expensive for Chileans.

Because of its natural value the Patagonia is a much desired place for businessman. They expect do in the place a big inversion, in related with the energy industry. This will cause a catastrophe in this zone and other places for country. A most problem is the melting glaciers; it’s the largest water source country and the world.

Is very important as country to protect our places and nature. Patagonia is only one of the places wonderful that our country has and we must also protect all the natural places that Chilean has, from north to south.

MY FAVOURITE ARTIST

Hi everyone, today I go to speak about my favourite artist.  That situation is very complicate for me, because I do not have only one favourite artist, better I go to speak about the “Impressions” and it’s more important artists.

The Impressions is a “current” artistic French of century XIX, and your principal characteristic is the light. Is considered as the starting point at contemporary arts, finishing with the classic arts, and also with academy arts.  The impressionist artists chose the outdoor painting, they work in the nature, with daily thematic, capturing the natural light.

Principal impressionist artists (for me) are: Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt, etc. But the best for me is Claude Monet, your pictures has very colour, and  your works with light are very amazing, he to be able to create in the works only using light, colors and forms, and he capture with naturally the objects. The most important pictures it’s: Nenúfares, Impression atardecer, The ampoules and The cathedral de Rouen. Nenúfares is a pictures series very famous, its made with oil and big brushstrokes. It’s colours are strong a typical impressionist characteristic.

Well, as I said the impressions is only one favourite current, and Monet is only one favourite artist, I choose for importance in the histo
