A Yellow Country

When the people ask me what country I would like to visit, I have always said Egipt. I've never really thought why, I just feel atract to the image that I have in my mind of this country. The idea to know a culture so different than ours, and also one of the oldest in the earth is another reason to get there. The view of this land must be amazing, being there looking right in the middle of the sea of sand, the pyramids and all the other constructions, it has to be sparkling.

I also imagine the small villages, people with turbans and the rusty things. Obviously I know that Egipt is a country with money, universitys and McDonalds. I know there are citys like any other country, but if I go there I would like to be in the historic places, the oldest villages, small towns with humble people, ochre's houses made of mud....... yellow views.

Polansky Case

I think the notice about Roman Polansky is very interesting, because he is a great movie maker who always made beautiful movies about life and society. He also won many awards in different places around the world. Recently Swiss court says Roman Polanski must stay in jail over fear. All this situation exist because he rapped young girls time ago. The director faces possible extradition to the U.S for having sex with a 13 year old girl in 1977.

This dramatical situation is very sad for every guy who loves arts and cinema, one of the most creative director is in jail and can't go away. Specially for me is not to sad, because I don’t really like this man.
By the way this notice is something that make me feel strange, because now I have a different point of view about some artists. Sometimes I think about them, about their unreal world, about their behaviors and I can't really understand the reason why they do that kind of things in the real life, when in this particulary case, he could create so many beautiful things at the screen.

Deep inside for me, this situation is a lost for the artistic scene, because this director is a huge talent who at least could communicate film passion.
I really appreciate the work of this man, movies like “The Pianist” can’t be made by whatever guy, but I’m agree to know that he is in jail, paying for his acts.
Good bye.

Topics. 2nd Semester

Hi everyone, I hope you have missed me, I'm back. :)
Well.. if you ask me for the different things that we could write about and discuss, I would suggest personal interests, hobbys, passions, etc.
For example: your favourite movie.. or your favourites, some books that has given you nice and important moments, reflections. Maybe someone practice a sport and would like to talk about this. The music also, I think is very very important for everyone.
The music is always with us and it always looks at you with the same eyes, regardless of our mood.
We could analyse different songs with interesting letters, each one could suggest one and explain why this is important.
Anyway... this is what I imagine right in this moment.. but they are just examples. The point is that I think it is important and funny to talk about the things that we love, things that we can't put away in daily life.
Well.. this is my opinion, maybe is too late.. jaja. C-ya!

The Keyboard




The keyboard is a musical instrument, it is like a piano but it needs electric energy to work. I got my keyboard about 5 years ago. When I was a child I had one, it was a very basic keyboard but I loved it and when I learn to play it better I ask for a bigger one.
I used to use it everyday but last year it breacks down. In this moment I have another one. I use it constantly because I play music with some friends and sometimes I play the keyboard in this band.
I also use it to compose songs or to complete them.
About 2 years ago I was in piano lessons so I practice in my keyboard everytime.

I like this piece very much because it gives to you a lot of posibilities of sounds and chords. I spend about 4 months without my keyboard and it was so boring. Fortunately now I have a new one. I play it everyday.

Serigraphy

I think I like every subjects of this year in the same way, my favourites are painting, draw and I finally choose the serigraphy because it has been a completly new experience for me. I have drawing all my life and I love it, this year is so atractive because we have to practice the human body and that is what I prefer of everything. The painting is the speciality that I choose and I also love it, but the silk-screen printing is something that I've never experiment before and the results are very atractive. The teachers name is Francisco Sanfuentes. I dont know him so much yet, but I can see that he knows and likes what he does. He is a very relax man. I was in video class before of this and this teacher lets me change to his subject. I'm so exited with the works and I hope to learn many techniques.
