Santiago...

Hello everyone:

I hope you are well. Today I would like talk about my city.  Well the city where I live call Santiago and is the capital of Chile.  So, I would like say many things about my city but  I focus in particular things that I believe important. Obviously from my point if view. Anyway,  each one  see  in differentent ways the same thing.

I born in this city and I live here for a long time. I think that Santiago is a great city but  also have bad things – as well another places-. So, I like the old buildings and also the hills that give to Santiago a particular “face”. Well, the old buildings I like its unique style because in Santiago the buildings look different   in every neighborhood.  There are many Styles and is interesting for the foreign.

As well Santiago has bad things, for example: the polutation, traffic and the dfifference in neighborhod depends the area.  This things dislike me because  I consider that  it bad to the city.  But I believe the things can change. Maybe, Santiago could be a better place.

The changes  would make the city a nice place could be less polutation because it bad for the health. As well the people enjoy different  activities  as deport for example: trakking.

The tips I consider important if you want to know Santiago. First all, you must go to the ancients neighbohod. Later, you know the museums and parks. And If you like walk you must visit the ferias. The ferias is a place where you can bouhgt many things  and is entertainig too. So, you can visit many places. Santiago is a big city and has many things you must do. I believe all depends of your personal interest. Anyway, you can do anything.

Vicente...

Hello everyone:

Today I would like talk about of my favorite Chilean figure of all the time, you know who is? Well, the greatest Chilean of me is Vicente Huidobro. I really love his poetry! I think that Huidobro is the best poet of all the times in Chile. However I know that Chile is country of poet, this phrase is cliché but sounds great. I like it! I can be so romantic in my opinions about this figure but I don’t mind because I really think that.

So, I tell us many things about his life. The biography of Vicente Huidobro is very interesting because he was multifaceted artist. Well, he wrote many poems and poetic narrative, for example: Mío cid campeador, this poetic narrative is wonderful and romantic.  Also in the 20` he meet in Europe the avant-garde and their artists and writers. So, this creative atmosphere has influenced his work.

Huidobro also created in his life many caligramas. In my point of view, this form of art is fantastic because in the process for make caligrama the artist must combination of form and content. It´s mean the form reproduce the content. I really like this form of art!

In my opinion, the most important thing about Huidobro is the fact that he created the movement called: creationism (creacionismo) and this movement were important for poets of avant- garde in Latin-American and the rest of the world.

If I met Vicente Huidobro. I married him! No is a joke. I would like talk with him about poetry, music, arts and maybe drink wine and celebrate.  Also, the question I would like ask to him about his particular view of the world.

Timeline

Hello everyone:

I hope you are well. Today I would like talk about History of art in the western culture. Maybe my timeline will be arbitrary.  I begin the timeline with:

Cave painting   

Ancient Greek art              

Roman Empire                

Medieval art

Renaissance                   

Baroque             

Rococo           

Neoclassicism               

Romanticism            

Impressionism and the Modern art.

First the cave painting s dates back to the Paleolithic times. These paintings on walls and ceilings to cover several themes, for example: wild animals and tracings of human. The most famous cave paintings are: Lascaux in France or Spanish cave of bulls, for to name a few.

Next, in the Classical period we know the Ancient Greek art. This art have influence in many cultures over the world. In the areas of sculpture and Architecture the Greek art is important for the Renaissance in Europe. In the same period, the Roman Empire the major forms are: architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. In my opinion, the most important form of Roman art is architecture. It was in this area Roman art produced its greatest innovations.

The Medieval art in Europe has a lot influence of the Roman Empire and the iconographic traditions of the early Christian. This art is religious and over 1000 years of history in Europe.

In the Renaissance the art change his form. The mathematics and science were important in this time. The great invention of the Renaissance is: perspective. Later in the Baroque is a period when the style used exaggerated motion. The genre paintings in the Baroque are assorted, for example: landscape paintings, still life, and portrait and in Spain and Italy religious scene.

The Neoclassicism to inherit the Renaissance structure and this form is famous for simplicity. The artistic production of Neoclassicism has got the classical canon and the subject was inspired on martial courage of the Greek and Latin epics. The architecture by used for Republic ideas.

In this period called Romantic era was a great artistic. Thos most important thing is the feeling about nature. This period was subjective in the arts.

For finish, the Impressionism was a nineteen century art movement. The first movement in the History of art because with the Impressionism began the modern art. This is the most important thing about Impressionism.

Great music!

Hello everyone:

I hope you are Ok. Well today I would like talk about my favorite piece of music.  This piece called: "La valse d'Amélie" de Yann Tiersen. In my opinion this composer is amazing because he is a creative of music. So, Yann Tiersen is a young men. It is a French musician, who has given the world his music since the mid nineties. He studied in several conservatories, where he practicing the violin, piano and later composition.Yann not only has a very good technique in these three areas but also plays many instruments with who creates his music. I like his music because I think that is personal and unique.

I discovered his music when I saw the film: Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain. The interesting thing about the case is that I prefer the sound track.  Anyway, this is a great film, so great sounds track. Yann Tiersen made all the pieces of this film. However, from my point of view the most beautiful piece of music is "La valse d'Amélie". This composition is only instrumental music and the instrument is piano. I love it!

I like this piece because I enjoy instrumental music and I love the piano. I know that exist many instrument of classic music and they are wonderful but the piano is unique about presence musical because I believe it is most powerful.

     

This piece of music is delicate and melancholic. I think that piece is about feelings and I can to feel many things when I hear it. All depend how I feel when I hear it. So, I don´t know what it is about this piece of music and I don´t interested too. Because the most significant for me is how I feel when I hear it.
