JOBS !!!

Hi everyone!!!!!!

Well, this is a new semester and that’s mean new posts……..

The first post of this semester is about JOB. When a finish the university, I’m thinking of working in something related to my career. I like the conservation and the restoration of art, for that I’m considering working in a Museum or a Center specialized in this area.

For work in restoration and conservation you need have a lot of patience and skills with the hands, because you continuously work painting or fixing objects and need be very detailed. For that I think I good for this job because I have a lot of patience and my skills with the hands are very good, I’m good at painting and isn’t complicate fix the objects (like ceramics, textiles, paintings, etc.) . Also in the curse of restoration in the university, the teacher teaches us all the methods for do a good work.

I don’t know how difficult it finds this kind of job. I’d like to get a job in an institution like The National Center of Conservation and Restoration, but when I finish the career, I’m considering traveling first and maybe find a job abroad.

Bye :)

 

The last post........

Hi everyone!!!!

Well, today I write my last blog post, because this is my last English class. The finish of the semester is coming…..

In this post I am going to talk about my experience with the blogs I never have a blog before, but I like the experience to write about some things. I like write about topics and know who thinks my classmates about that.

I think is good writing post because is more easy practice and improve the English. The most of post I was written is about things who likes me and that it’s good. People of other country can see my post and read about them and me own classmates write their opinion about them think.

The advantages about blogging are the didactic possibility to practice and improve the English. That is good because is easier do oration and speak. The disadvantages of this is sometimes is not to easy found the appropriate words to use in the post, or put in order your ideas for express that after.

My suggestions are maybe give more time to write the post, or give more different topics.

Well, I hope my last post like you….maybe I write more post in the future, but I don’t know that…… We never know.

Bye….   :D

My favourite subject

Hi everyone!!!!!

Today I am going to talk about my favourite subject….. Well, these terms are a little bit crazy, but, still that, my favourite subject is restoration. The teacher’s name is Johanna Theile; she is a recognized restorer of art.

In class I see the way to restore different kind of material, like ceramic, porcelain, textile and paintings (in the other term we learn to restore paper, wood, glass, metal and other material) and the way to keep the object safe. When the object is in good condition, is most better restoring, but when the object isn’t in good condition, the most better is preserve, because the object can damage much more.

The class is didactic; we restore ceramic, textile and painting yet. The teacher gives the information of the way you can restore or keep the object and a historical review, like the history of the restoration, or the preventive conservation.

I like too much this subject because it’s funny and didactic. I like work with the object and fix them or know the form I can preserve.

I hope like my favourite subject. Bye!!!!  :D

A Darwinian Theory of Beauty?

Well….. The video ¨A Darwinian Theory of Beauty? ¨ by Denis Duton is so interesting and funny. In the video, Duton talk about the concept of “beauty”, the experience that produced the concept and some   definitions of “Beauty”. Darwin says that beauty “It´s in the eye of the beholder”. I think the same of Darwin, sometimes when we see something beauty, we experiments certain emotions produced for the beauty of the object. But sometimes, the beauty is culturally conditioned. For example, the Padaung women, use brass coils that are placed around the neck .This is for hers a beauty symbol, but maybe for the rest of women, it’s a little shocking.

Duton also talk about the experience of beauty has relation with a natural selection and the sexual selection. The prehistorically men evolved for adapted, that is the natural selection, adapted for survive. The sexual selection has a relation with reproduction,but there are factors that favor this action, like the Padaung woman with the coils in the neck.

In the career who I study the topic “Beauty” has too much importance. In my particular opinion, the beauty has a relation with the emotions who produced by the object (art, music, places, etc).  The concept of “Beauty” is very broad, and the meaning depends on the own people.

I hope you like the video.......  bye.

ART!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!!!!! 

Today I am going to write about one of my favorite artists……in this case a painter. His name is François Gérard, was a neoclassical French painter in the XIX century. He was one of the most important disciples of David.

Born on May 4, 1779 in Rome (Italy) and died on January 11, 1837 in Paris (France) . He painted important people like Napoleon Bonaparte, the empress Josephine and others. Gérard was the favourite pupil of Jacques-Louis David, who competed for be the best portrait painter. Besides, he was painting mythological and historical pictures. His paintings are Neoclassical, but he used more delicate tonality.

The painting that I more like is Cupid and Psyche (1798). Is oil on canvas and stay in the Louvre. The history of this picture is about the young Psique, who be surprised for the first kiss of Cupid, or the love, which is invisible for her. This history of love is an old myth but also is an allegory; Psique is the personification of the human soul (sometimes is blind to love).

I think this picture in particular is beautiful. The expression of Psique, if she was lost, but always beautiful and Cupid, who touch her like she was broken. I love the colors, and the form who the artist painted the figures (and the dress of Psique). 

I hope you like this painting to, because is wonderfull…

MEME STYLE !!!!!

Hi everyone!!!!!!! so much time without write....

Well, today I am going to write about the Memes....... I like that because they make me laugh a lot.

The Meme (or  Internet phenomenon) is the graphical representation of some situation.A meme can be  ideas, concepts, situations, expressions, videos or  funny images, that are manipulated for its diffusion . They are generated on the web or any type of virtual enviroment and are distributed to the  network via forums, imageboards, websites and any other massive diffuser.

The diffusion of the Meme depends on the reaction of the audience. The meme is called benign virus, because  it may come to be seen by a lot of people across the world in a short time, that is the important for a easy diffusion.

The creation of the meme is varied. They are created for accident or across  web pages (http://memegenerator.net/)

The most used memes are with cartoons. Also know as Rage Comics,  is characterized by a drawing comic style, usually in black and white, which expresses an emotion easily appreciated.The popularity of comics Rage has been attributed to their use as vehicles for humorizar experiences. Have been created many of these faces, like: 

-Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuu
-Troll Face
-Feel like a Sir
-LOL Guy
-Cereal Guy
-Okay Guy 
-Forever alone
-Close Enough 
-Like a Boss 
-Challenge Accepted 
-OMG 
-Seriously?

Here I leave some of these images and some videos for you to enjoy and comment .......

Blog correction

(It’s ) it's hard for me choose one like my favorite movie, because exist so many good films exist!

But if I have to talk about one, this will be "The triplettes of belleville", this is a French animation movie, written and directed by Sylvain Chomet on 2003.
The film tells the story of a young cyclist and his grandmother, how this boy is kidnapped by American gangsters and the adventures that his grandmother has to go through to rescue him.

There are almost no dialogues in the film, everything is explained through music and pantomime. Also, there is a strong critical sense of humor regarding United States, something characteristic of French wit.

Was nominated for many awards, including the Oscar (Best Animated Film and Best Original Song), for its excellent animation, direction and script, but what It was left with all the looks and ears was its wonderful soundtrack. Composed and written especially for the occasion.

I like a lot, because it is full of little details, in the city, the characters, (the scenes with dogs are fantastic! dog scenes are fantastic!), music. All forms an atmosphere. And I also love the bikes!

Of this author, I also like his other films like "The Illusionist", or  "the lady and the pigeons". He also has a short in the movie "Paris, j 'taime".

Here is the link to the first part of the short film "La Vieille Dame Cathedral Et Les Pigeons", that I mentioned earlier.

You can find most of these films online, but if you can't find them, you can ask me for them :)

I hope you enjoy it!
So long! see you later!
