Blogging experience

Hello everyone! This is my last blog, because my English class ends today, so in this post I have to write about my blogging experience.
Well, this was for me a new way to practice and learn English, I think it was good to practice the writing, because I don't have a great write in English, I can understand more listening and reading.
Personally I didn't enjoy writing blogs, maybe for the topics that we have to write, I think the experience could be more interesting if we have to write a different things choosing for everyone.
Before this experience, I never had a blog, so this was my first time blogging, it was ok, maybe in the future I will have another blog where I can write about things I like.
This experience serves to me learning more about writing, and also we have to read the other post of my classmates, this help us in our reading and also we can know another things more personal and funnies that they talk in his blogs.
I have a suggestion for the class, maybe during the class we can see a film interesting in English, not subtitled and then we have to write about this movie in a reading test, the interesting exercise here is listening in English and then write in English, maybe comment the movie too, and by this way we can practice and learn differently.
Well, this is all for today, Bye !

Favourite Subject !



Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about my favourite subject in this term. I think it is my class of "Apreciación cinematografica" in this class we see a lot of movies that are very important to the history of the cine, such as the first movies made by Lumiere brothers.
In the class we learn about the history of the cine, and the same time the professor explain us the different parts that the movies have, like the types of shots that make the cameras do in the film.
In every class we see a movie and then the professor explain the meaning and the important that movie has. Is a very entertaining class, and then when you see a film in your house or in the cinema you remember the things you learn in class and you can apply in every movie.
I really love see movies not so well known, in black and white and silent pictures. In the last class we see a film named "Triumph des Willens" in english is named The triumph of the will is a 1935 film made by Leni Riefenstahl, is a Nazi propaganda film, and became one of the best-known examples of propaganda in film history.
I really love when the films narrate parts of world history, and this film has a lot of that.
Well this is all for now, I hope some another day can talk more about this, because I really love it.
Bye!

Beauty ...

Hello everyone! Today I go to talk about an interesting video that I watched this video is called A Darwinian theory of beauty by Denis Dutton.
The theory try to explain the concept of beauty, it is, indeed, a very difficult topic to explain, because we can consider beautiful a lot of different things. Dutton talks about three categories where the people found beauty, like art works, natural landscapes and human beings.
Dutton also says, that the consideration of explain beauty by the social culture it is not hundred percent determinant, Dutton thinks it is in the evolution of the human beings where we can explain why consider beauty something.
Is for that why Dutton used the theory of Darwin to explain, that while the human beings evolved they want more comfort, a better life, and Dutton says we found beauty in the things they are well done.
I don’t think it is correct explain only by the evolution of us the beauty, because the concept of what is beautiful it is changed a lot across the time and the history. This is because many factors are involved, such as the economy, the modernity, the policy, the globalization, etc, all this factors are inside a very same topic, and this is the culture. Maybe the taste and the concept of what is beauty it is evolved with us, but the culture and society influence in our conception of beauty.
Finally every person in the world is different so what we think it is beautiful is not the same that the other person thinks.
Well I hope you can think about this. For now this is all! Bye (:

My favourite artist!

Hello everyone, today I want to talk about one of my favourites painters, his name is Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. He was an Italian artist, her style of painting it is called Baroque, and this style used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, it is from XVI century.
I choose him, because, to me, his paintings are very beautiful and the same time they are very dramatics, maybe the last characteristic is because the utilization of the light and the colors that are present in all his paintings.

I really love one of his paintings; this is Narcissus, painted circa 1597–1599. It is housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Rome. The name of the painting and the history of this, it is for the myth of a handsome youth who falls in love with his own reflection, in rapt contemplation, unable to move away from its image he throwing over the waters. At the site where his body had fallen, grew a beautiful flower that did honor to the name and memory of Narcissus.

Here I put the picture of the painting, I hope you like it!
